--- Kurt Busiek (interview with Mtv's Geek-News[1]) HistoryCrazy or insane? Neither or both?
Who knows for sure? We might be listening to the rantings of a crazed fool, or the last sane warnings of a man driven to his mental limits by the awareness of a sinister and very real threat. So, for all of us, keeping a low profile might indeed be a good idea. At least until we know more about both the Oubor and the skinny man with the purple skin. PowersHe has broken the fourth wall. He can communicate with the reader.  ObservationsHe wears a white smock over a t-shirt depicting the famous Astro City Signal Rocket. The shirt is very popular with the tourists. Only the "Are You Jacked?" Jack-in-the-Box has higher sales. Speculations, TheoriesWe know that in the real world, the Broken Man's skin is yellow, just like the Bouncing Beatnik and the Halcyon Hippie. He was once eternally young, he says. Could all three men be different eras' versions of the same being?
