Your Hero Growing Up?

I can tell you what was my very first comic book that is still in my collection is Howard the Duck #8. I can also tell you that Iron Man is my favorite comic book character, but who was my hero growing up?
Lone Ranger? Nah, didn’t like the whole cowboy and indian thing. Neal Armstrong? Cool idea, but someone like that just wouldn’t have been around enough. Bob Wilkins? It is very true, I spent many a late night in front of the black and white tube watching this dude, but then I would need to have an uncle like Tom Savini to make it a set.
Nope - since I was a typical kid growing up, I was hooked on the Saturday morning ‘toons. The corny, but good ones like Space Ghost, Herculoids, Johnny Quest, but my absolute favorite was:
None other than Frankenstein Jr and his pal Buzz.
