It looks a lot like the early non-ghosted stuff from the first few <b>Detective Comics</b> stories. And the monster looks different in the other (ghosted) panels.<br /><br />3) Aluminium is sometimes used in "chaff" (The stuff warplanes disperse to throw off radar)<br /><br />4) The idea that an aluminium foil hat can block radio waves is <i>partly</i> true. Problem is that, to be effective, your entire body must be wrapped in foil to work. Otherwise, any exposed part can receive and absorb radio waves!<br /><br />5) Alien robots have vacuum tubes?
