Ryan believes that a popular comic-book character, Feris the Invincible, has come to life and is killing people. He then seeks out the character's creator, Jay Star (the late great and my personal favorite martian, Ray Walston) But both Ryan and Micki are not aware that Star knows quite a bit more than he's letting on.
Bouncing back with a vengeance after the abysmal "Root of All Evil" episode of the series, this is a great episode of the show that would not only captivate regular watchers of the show, but comic fans as well due to the strong parallel between Superman and his creators & Feris and his. This episode also uses comic-book panels to good economical and stylistic effect (unlike say the re-released version of "The Warrors" where it was a detriment to the viewing experience, but I digress) All in all a rather strong episode of the series that stands well against the test of time. Even though Ryan should have name-dropped Amazing Fantasy #15 rather than Spider-man #1 (relative small nitpick from a Marvel fan-boy)
My Grade: A
