SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
By KERRY CALLEN
One of my very favorite cartoons that aired while I was a kid was the 1967 DC superheroes show by Filmation (formally the Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure).
Not only does the show do justice to the DC characters, but it also contains one of the most nefarious weapons ever created! It appears in a Green Lantern episode, Sirena, Empress of Evil.
Sirena fires the magnificent Magno-Beam, which is somehow “attuned to Green Lantern’s brain waves.” Oh! It also contains a bird.
The bird follows the fired beam directly to Green Lantern’s head…
Knocking them both unconscious!
Devastating!
I’m a little sad this didn’t appear in the recent Lanterns TV series.
