The cover for the 11th issue of comic-book "Real Science Adventures" features George Westinghouse with one of Tesla's lightning guns. What? You didn't know about Tesla's lightning guns? In that case, you probably also didn't know how Tesla, Westinghouse, Charles Fort, Annie Oakley, Harry Houdini and a few others were all that stood against a triumvirate of industrialists bent on taking over America in 1893.

It may sound like that, from the above description, but the only thing they have in common is their being about unusual characters coming together to fight Evil in a contemporary setting. In Moore's story, the characters are from other fictional tales while the characters here are based on real persons - although Tesla never created an atomic-powered sentient robot.

He didn't?! Now I'm crushed.

Can't you seek consolation in the knowledge that Tesla really opened a gate into the Vampire Dimension?
