Phil Seleski might have owned an iPod
I was re-reading Solar, Man of the Atom #16 last night when I found a neat, little tid-bit that I had forgotten through the years.
Being an Apple computer fan (as the OSX in my username gives away), I noticed that in 1992 the Valiant gang had Solar move to none other than Apple headquarters, itself - Cupertino, California!
Of course, that's in the heart of the famous "Silicon Valley" itself, so naturally it was a good place to deposit Dr.'s Phil Selski and Gayle Nordheim.
Still, it was neat to find that, as I was re-reading about my old favorite Solar, that he lived for awhile right near my favorite computer company.
Think of the cross marketing possibilities if only the comic had survived:
A Solar-themed iMac.
A Solar-red iPod with the atomic logo where the click wheel is.
Oh, if only...

It looks like our old buddy Phil got caught cruising amputee midget porn !!!
lol!
I don't recall what issue that page is from, but it definitely looks like Phil got caught perusing a website that a childhood hero of milllions ought not be caught looking at.
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, though...
Maybe he was just here at ValiantFans.com posting a really harsh and biased statement about Jim Shooter and Gayle was getting onto him for being an instigator.
