Number 1644: Can an invisible voice be heard?


The Voice is another character from Dell’s Popular Comics. This story, drawn by Jim Chambers, is from Popular #59 (1941). It is the issue that also featured the Marvel Man story I showed in Pappy’s #1612 . The Voice throws a special cellophane cloak over himself and becomes invisible. The character is prophetic. According to several sources* technology is making such an invisibility suit a reality.



I doubt that total invisibility (as in the fantasies I used to have as a junior high kid wondering about the girls’ shower room), is achievable, but in some form, who knows? High-tech camouflage might work for soldiers hiding on a battlefield in plain sight. Some claim the technology is here now, but I'd have to “see” something invisible to believe it.



























*We all believe everything we read and see on the Internet, eh?
