Taking a bit of a Twin Peaks: The Return approach with Prez and Brother Power

The original Prez was in office for only six months before vanishing (sources are unclear whether his own government betrayed him or if it was Prez himself to chose to walk away in disgust from a system he no longer felt confident he could change) but when he returned years later, it wasn't the same Prez. He had been hollowed out and colonized by his old nemesis, Boss Smiley, and re-made as the perfect hyper-capitalist stooge for making the rich richer.

Prez's original personality (his soul, really) wasn't destroyed when Smiley took his body, but displaced. Seeking a soulless but living body to inhabit, Rickard unexpectedly found himself not only alive again...but in the body of a life-size mannequin. Now a Doll Elemental linked to bizarre magic even he didn't quite understand, an amnesiac Prez was reborn as Brother Power, The Geek.

On this date in 1993, Rachel Pollack and Michael Allred's The Geek hit comic shelves. It was part of DC's Vertigo Visions line, a series of six double-sized one-shots that focused on a different DC character -- and Vertigo-ing them up.

It was based on DC's Brother Power the Geek #1, who had first appeared in comics back in 1968 and was created by Joe Simon. Brother Power's original series only lasted two issues, as its sympathetic portrayal of "hippe culture" proved too controversial for DC management. A third issue created by Simon never saw print, and he never released any artwork from it.

The Vertigo one-shot pulled some elements from the original issues, such as Brother Power being caught by and forced to perform in a "psychotic circus." It also featured Cindy, the sympathetic hippie from the original series. Now a prostitute, Cindy and the Geek are reunited, and he dies saving her before being reborn in the body of one of her dolls.

Magazines and Monsters - JLMay chapter 29

Hey there, JLMay'ers! It's that time of year again, and Paul Hix has organized this year's JLMay event! You've heard 28 other episodes up till now, and Clinton and I are going to try to figure out how Batman and a hippie from 1968 can team up and play fireman. Seriously, that's pretty much all they do in this "team up." We do have some fun along the way talking about Frankenstein, Svengoolie, and outdated political references. So, stay tuned!

As usual, you can reach out to the show through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licious or on the shows FB or Tumblr pages. You can find Clinton on Twitter @coffeecomicsblg and on his podcasts Coffee and Comics, Days of High Adventure, and Fan Film Fridays (Longbox Crusade feed). Definitely check out the other awesome podcasters by searching the hashtag #JLMay on Twitter, and look for the next installment on the Once Upon a Geek podcast (yeah, sorry, it's Shag). Thanks for listening!

oh witchy woman -- She's a super freak

The question of the etymology for the word "freak". Perfectly clean in 1986 (actually 1985) but not in 2019. Rick James released his song in 1981. So that shows just how much time before Rick James's dirty lyrics smashes through -- certainly more than four years -- and obliterated everything.

Then again, DC Comics could not release a title by the name of "Brother Power, The Freak" in 1968, perfectly understood in the 1960s as a counter-cultural reference and so even in a submerged or sublimated fashion tied to recreational drugs and societal experimentation -- and instead had to go with the title of "Brother Power, The Geek". That does raise the question for the etymology of " geek".
