Inhumanoids: Marvel Comics treatment

With thanks to Monzo at tfwiki, the Sunbow Marvel Archive now hosts one of the earliest development documents for what would become the toyline and cartoon Inhumanoids.

Known at this stage as The Force Of Light, the 13 page treatment by Marvel Comics writer and editor Tom DeFalco sets the stage for a team of geologists and inventors, initially tasked to defend Earth from devastating meteor showers, who find that the Light Shields built for this task are being sabotaged by The Evil That Lies Within.

To read the treatment and view similar development work for Robotix, Bigfoot And The Muscle Machines, Visionaries and Air Raiders, head to: Sunbow Syndication 1985-1987
