Toni Stark

Toni Stark was the friend and traveling partner of Ace Buckley, who built a spaceship that was capable of time travel. Toni accompanied Ace on many trips from their own time in the 20th Century to the distant past. They traveled backward in time to observe a number of important battles and events, such as the Battle of Marathon, and were inevitably drawn into those events. They met and interacted with legendary historical figures, including Queen Elizabeth I, Blackbeard, and King Richard, The Lionheart. Toni and Ace usually hid their timeship underwater, and then swam ashore in bathing suits, often carrying any gear they might need. Once on land, they would assume the garb of the period they were visiting. Toni usually ended up in something fairly provocative. They could return to the timeship for supplies as needed. While they had modern weapons aboard their timeship, they usually resigned to using the weapons of the age. They frequently found themselves in trouble, but Toni managed to demonstrate great courage in their adventures.
