Crane
[edit]Wait! Robert Crane? You don't suppose there's any relation to Jonathan Crane, The Scarecrow do you? I should know. User Crane 117
Skyman
[edit]The article says Robrt Crane helped Charles MacNider become Skyman, but it should read Starman, which is also the article the link is referring to. IchiGhost (talk) 19:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Publication history
[edit]I think there needs to be a Publication History type section before the Fictional Character Biography. As it is, the article is intermingling the original stories of RobotMan published in actual 1940s comic books with retcons introduced mostly by Roy Thomas in the 1980s.
I suggest we want to specify the original Golden Age comics were Star Spangled Comics #7 though Star Spangled Comics #82 (April 1942-July 1948) then Detective Comics #138 though Detective Comics #202 (August 1948-December 1953). I think the first paragraph is mostly covering events from those actual comics. Decades later he is reintroduced in All-Star Squadron #1 (September 1981) which is retroactive adventures of 1940s characters. All the content in the article about Dr MidNite, StarMan, and the All-Star Squadron must be retcons from the 1980s series.
