Today in Comics History, March 22: Happy birthday, Playback!

Born today in 1955: Miriam Morse aka Playback, the psychic sister of Inspector Morse, who helped him solve many murder mysteries who works for the government hunting down the alien paranormal vigilante code-named Justice. Please note that her hobbies include "philately, videotapes (What? Does she collect 'em? Watch 'em? Belong to the Columbia House Hit VHS a Month Club? Does she manage a Blockbuster Video?), and letting the air out of the tires on cars that are illegally parked in handicapped spaces." Whoa, that last one. You go, girl!


from Justice #22 (Marvel/New Universe, August 1988), creators uncredited and unknown

Happy birthday, Playback, and if you see her in a parking lot letting the air out of tires on cars that are illegal parked in handicap spaces...no you didn't.

Either she Force-choked you into forgetting the hovertext or you were just hyp-mo-tized by those pink shoes.
