ArmlessTigerMan Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Inspiration: The Five Fists of Science Awesome!!! I ordered this through Previews last year, but it got cancelled or something. The idea of a do-gooding Tesla being opposed by an evil Edison just appeals to me. Probably because history remembers Edison as the great inventor and Tesla as a crackpot. There's a cool Tarzan tpb from Dark Horse: Le Monstre. In one of the stories Tarzan and Tesla must stop Edison from recreating Dr. Frankenstein's experiments. Admittedly there aren't any giant robots in that story.

Even a lot of Tesla's fans don't know that he was offered co-credit for the invention of the electric light, but refused because he felt that he had accomplished the invention before Edison, and refused to compromise.

While Sir Joseph Swan the OTHER inventor of the electric light is almost completly forgotten ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
