- Comic Book Guy: This is no fantasy... no careless product of wild imagination! No, sir... the craftsmanship alone of this Lure Lass action figure makes it quite the desirable collectible!
- Customer: Hmm! What kind of batteries are needed to light the il-lure-minating breastplates?
- Comic Book Guy: Double D, if you must know--
- Comic Book Guy: This is Radioactive Man #100. It is well-worn and well below the "overboard price guides" grade of "good"--But it is up here for a reason. You see, this was the very first issue of "Radioactive Man" I ever read. It was a Spring day in 1963. I was eight years old... My mother took me into a Gardner's Pharmacy to fill a prescription. I couldn't help but be drawn to the brightly colored comics in the spinner rack! And it was this particular issue in which I invested my mother's 12 cents--and what an event I serendipitously happened upon! A centennial celebration of a character who not only thrilled the young with his heroism--but inspired a new generation to enter the comic book industry! Fans grew up to become professionals, to be part of this fabulous art form. And we took a mass medium and made it what it is today--a subculture.
- Zenith City mayor: The city planners say it'll take at least 37 years--that would be the year 2000! We'll be flying to work with jet packs by then, eh?
- Man 1: Great Scott! A robot was in the time capsule--dressed as a cowboy, using a pair of six-guns to shoot his way out!
- Shootin' Irons: Ah wants Radioactive Man!
- Man 1: The robot's demanding Radioactive Man while it stands on the museum steps twirling its--
- Man 2: We get it! We get it! We're not blind, you know!!
- Anderson: Mr. Mayor! This is serious! Think of the damage this will do... Miss Zenith is half your age! You've got to stop being seen with her! It could wreck your political career!
- Zenith City mayor: Quiet, Anderson! I've got other concerns--like that pistol-packing robot! I need Radioactive Man!
- Captain Squid: A robot who's supposed to be from 100 years ago is out looking for Radioactive Man... And RM is nowhere to be found!
- Bug Boy: I can understand your concern, Captain Squid, but there's no need for you to continue the exposition...
- Radioactive Ape: Sorry, Fallout Boy! Radioactive Man's not here in Simian City! Look, I've got an emergency meeting of the Secret Society of Super-Simians--the banana thief was released from jail today--he's out on appeal!
- Fallout Boy: Claude? it's me-- Fallout Boy!! We've been looking all over for you! What do you mean "Why didn't anyone call"? No one had the unlisted number of the Containment Dome! It's a good thing you left the number on the fridge! Let me tell you what's been going on--and do me a favor? Next time you wanna take a few days off, let me know!
- Dr. Broome: Y'know, I've been wondering where that robot came from. Are you sure you didn't send it into the past for me, Dr. Crab?
- Dr. Crab: I've told you vun hundred times, Dr. Broome! It vasn't me! Ask Brain-O== Maybe it vas him--
