Subject Matter

Synopsis: Dr. Rex Ward, a scientist from the year 2013, time-travels into the past. But on exiting his time-vehicle, he's killed by a pair of common burglars. En route to the great beyond, a mysterious voice tells him that because he died before he was born, he's become "a thing that cannot be"-- therefore, he's condemned to remain on Earth as a ghost until the time of his natural death. Taking the name Dr. Weird, he decides to "wage a never-ceasing war on the forces of evil".
