Comments on: My comic book premier http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/04/25/my-comic-book-premier/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Given the recent dearth of such facilities from vandalism, (I guess one could change even in a defunct phone box), don't hold your breath searching for one! And don't expect to find your street clothes still there on your return. Ivan. Phil, (or is it now SUPERPHIL?), do you have to change to your other personality in a phone box? Given the recent dearth of such facilities from vandalism, (I guess one could change even in a defunct phone box), don’t hold your breath searching for one!

And don’t expect to find your street clothes still there on your return.

GRAPHIC NOVELS ARE ALL THE RAGE! Especially in nonfiction. I picked up several at the Book Expo and talked to some of the publishers. Get into it, Phil, as a supplement to your other writing. You could have your own educational/entertainment series. There are several good publishers and THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SUCH AS YOU. You, with your knowledge, your platform (platform is the main thing these days) and your ability to entertain. You can reach huge masses of people this way. This excites me.

Even so I was disgusted when The Atom had to hide from a foe and shrank himself to subatomic size. He thought-explained to the readers that he could breathe because he was sitting on an oxygen atom (picture of super-hero perched on the nucleus with billiard-ball electrons zipping by overhead in circular orbits).
