P.S.---as far as I can determine, Dr. Daka was created expressly for the Bat-serial. If he appeared in any Golden Age DC comics, at all, it was probably as an adaptation of the serial. Similar to how the original KING KONG was novelized within a year of that film's release.

Oh wow, I remember that Sinbad show. And I especially remember that shrinking episode. Rumina's "close to my heart" comment gave the younger me some very funny feelings at the time.
I'm familiar with the 60s Batman show (fun but a little too camp for my tastes) but who are these time traveling characters you've included? Never heard of Project Tic-Toc.
Author's Response: Irwin Allen, the creative genius who brought 1960's viewers the original LOST IN SPACE, also created a one-season wonder called THE TIME TUNNEL. Project Tic-Toc, based beneath a dry lake bed in Arizona, had created a giant tunnel that could generate what today would be called a "wormhole." The pilot/premiere had Tony Newman (James Darren) activate it prematurely when a visiting Senatorial bean-counter announced that he was seriously considering closing it down. Leading to fellow scientist Doug Phillips (Robert Colbert) going after him. And, with both of them landing aboard the Titantic just a day or so ahead of the collision with the iceberg! The series, though set in 1968, only lasted from 1966-7. Even so, it undeniably paved the way for all similar series, from QUANTUM LEAP to LOST.

Love the opening gag on the way the show looped.
You also explained the radiation bath better than the show did.
Now I know what crossover your emails were talking about. This is fun. Keep the chapters coming!
Author's Response: Thank you. Although, you must have been blinded by your tears of laughter not to catch the "Jack and Rose" reference. ;-)
