I always thought it was funny their father was named Frank Bonner. It always made me think they were raised by Herb Tarlek of WKRP in Cincinnati.

These two were way ahead of there time, DC had created a few such villains with computer motifs like this but these two to my mind were by far the most interesting. Gerry Conway had a real gift for creating memorable villains and Firestorm at this time had one of the best rogues galleries in comics, Bug & Byte didn’t take off strangely but those two issues they appeared in have two of the most memorable covers seen on the racks. I can still remember #23 being in basically everyNews/book shop and this post of yours brings back great memories of that era. Comics were everywhere back then and Firestorm was possibly my favorite hero – and I read a *lot* of books back then..

Cheers for a nice trip down memory lane…..

Ha ha ha – “…can become part of any computer system he can reach by phone line!”

What? Connect my computer to a telephone? You mean like my cell phone? I don’t understand. Why? I mean, wouldn’t that just slow down my data transfer and be clunky?

😉 Boy if we only knew then what we have now!
