Johnny Saturn

Five Things:

1)      We never hear Johnny’s thoughts or see what goes on inside his head.  We’ve often said the strip is more about the people around Johnny Saturn than Johnny Saturn himself.

2)      Pages that are framed in black are usually done so because the action is taking place underground, or because the point of view character is depressed.

3)      The original black & white issue one appeared in grayscales.  Then, it got colored, got an additional fourteen pages, and was repackaged as issues one and two of the regular color series.

4)      In issue five, when the heroes are blasting the demonic Dr. Synn, Persephone (his daughter) joins in.  Her power goes not to destroying the demon, however, but insuring that her father is safely disentangled from the demon that has possessed him.

5)      In issue five, When Johnny Saturn draws the magic circle around Dr. Synn, few notice that the Angel of Noble Failures first whispers instructions into Johnny’s ear, and then empowers the circle that Johnny has drawn.
