BLUE BEETLE GIANT-SIZE VOLUME FIVE STANDARD COLOR EDITIONDan Garrett studied archaeology in Egypt, when he found a magical scarab in the tomb of Kha ef Re. With this scarab and the words Kaji Dha he was endowed with superhuman strength, the ability to fly, and he could shoot lightning from his hands as the BLUE BEETLE.

Dan Garrett studied archaeology in Egypt, when he found a magical scarab in the tomb of Kha-ef-Re. With this scarab and the words ÒKaji DhaÓ he was endowed with superhuman strength, the ability to fly, and he could shoot lightning from his hands as the BLUE BEETLE. Dan Garrett, the original BLUE BEETLE, eventually died in a battle with Ted Kord's Uncle Jarvis, but passed along the legacy of BLUE BEETLE to Kord. Although he did not possess the scarab, Ted trained and used his great intelligence to take over as THE BLUE BEETLE, the second exciting incarnation of this character.
BLUE BEETLE was initially published by Victor Fox's outfit. The title was then transferred to Holyoke Publishing and eventually wound up back at Fox. After Fox closed shop, the BLUE BEETLE landed at Charlton Comics.
Charlton Comics' first issue of the BLUE BEETLE started with #18, picking up the numbering from the recently canceled title THE THING. Issues #18 and 19, abetted with new covers, only contained reprints from the Fox series. Issues #20 and #21 contained brand new stories, although #21, published in August of 1955, was to be the last issue. Charlton's next BLUE BEETLE series began with issue #1 in June of 1964 and lasted five issues, ending in April 1965. In July of 1965 Dan Garrett as the BLUE BEETLE returned for five more issues, this time beginning with issue #50, picking up the numbering sequence from the defunct UNUSUAL TALES series. Although this was the end of Dan Garrett's time as the BLUE BEETLE,
Charlton would soon pull another bug out of their hat.
In November of 1966, Steve Ditko dusted off the BLUE BEETLE name, now with Ted Kord donning the mask and updated the character for a more modern audience. Ted Kord would appear in Charlton's Captain Atom #83-86 before going on to his own self-titled, five issue series also published by Charlton. THE BLUE BEETLE remains one of the most enduring characters in comics, changing and evolving over the decades.
As an added bonus this volume also contains five tales starring another creation by Steve Ditko, THE QUESTION.
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are sixty to seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be considered when judging the overall contents.

Such a convenient little tool
Color: Red/Battery
Once I figured out how to use it, I wondered what took me so long to purchase it. Very easy to get the hang of using. Not too fast, not too heavy, not too noisy, just perfect can opener without all the hardworking and spilling contents all over the place.

Don’t buy it
Color: Red/Battery
Stoped working after 6 months. I wish I had purchased the same one I had, Kitchen Mama, but the price was better for Circle Joy. Silly me I won’t be fooled again. I have arthritis and can’t use manual openers. This is going in the trash today. Btw- I only use it 1 or 2 times a week.

Excellent can opener.
Color: Red/Battery
Love it! Works like a charm. I have arthritis which made opening cans with the type I’d used for years very hard. I didn’t want one on the counter, this fits perfectly in a drawer. I know a couple our friends have ordered one.

Worth the Money
Color: Red/Battery
I bought this thinking, "Will it really work the way it shows?". The answer is yes. Put it on the can, press the button, and then it does its thing hands off. It does leave a smooth edge too. Not too speedy, but better than having to fight with your manual to get it to catch the edge.
