Description

The Sentinels #11 (Jan 1963)
"Dr. Micro's City of Death!"

Watch as Dr. Micro turns the Sentinels into -- the Planet's Tiniest Super-Heroes!! Can the Sentinels' newest members, Lightning Girl and the Black Fury, survive their first adventure?!

Roll Call:
Dr. Micro - bit of a standard issue "mad scientist", he's a B- or C-lister kind of villain, but "important" for introducing Micro-City in which the Sentinels have a few adventures over the years;
Magno;
Lightning Girl- daughter of the original Lighting Girl and Lash Lightning;
Black Fury- the Fury's old partner, Chuck, all grown up; and
TNT Todd.

~~~~~~~~~~
So, in this issue, the Sentinels face a new foe - Dr. Micro, creator of Micro-City (which you can see in the Trophy Room). He's shrinking down the Sentinels into Micro-City, and they shrink down, down, down. Hence, an old-timey infinity cover. Strange you don't see more of this thing in our PhotoShop (PS) age.

The Fraims continue to define the Silver-Age Sentinels(and therefore Standard Comics) and did, indeed, use PS to produce the infinity effect. Great stuff!

I'm guessing that Magno and Lightning Girl team up to free themselves from the electrical trap. Magnetism, electricity, etc. Something, something, mumble, mumble.
