History: Dick Dixson was given a souvenir of a space flight by his father, who was an astronaut. The souvenir was an electric torch that had formed part of the equipment of a space capsule in orbit. But Dick discovered that mysterious rays in space had affected the torch. It now shone a black beam instead of a white one, and anything it shone upon became invisible for a time.

Comments: Dick was a character who originally appeared in the Rover and Dandy in the twenties and thirties. The Sparky version shares the name and powers, but is otherwise very different, having a new origin (the original turned invisible after sniffing the mysterious liquid given to him by a one-legged sailor!) and different attitude from his predecessor.
