Sold with an accompanying 45 rpm read-along record, the comic was one in the company's line of such bundled comic-and-record sets for young children.
Holo-Man is Dr. James Robinson, a leading laser physicist whose work on laser-induced thermonuclear fusion has brought a visit from United States President Jimmy Carter.
However, the night before, two foreign agents have infiltrated the institute in which the demonstration is conducted and wired the power systems to overload, in the hopes the resulting explosion will kill the President.
He also reveals the reason for this assassination attempt on the President: Surria intends to invade the United States by first launching a fake attack with holographic missiles, upon which an immediate land-bound strike will follow immediately to exploit the confusion caused by the holograms; the President's death was intended to add to the resulting chaos.
Right after delivering his warning, Holo-Man prepares to use the holodisc to recharge, but then a swarm of holographic missiles darkens the sky over Washington: the Surrian invasion has already commenced.
