Cashing in on that Marvelous Blockbuster Film

Who says a $255 million dollar box office superhero can't take time out to rub elbows with some Action-Heroes? It says here he's up for the challenge! Presenting an issue of Sentinels of Justice in our dreams!


Just wait till Thunderbolt works his "I can do it. I must do it. I will do it!" mojo on you, Shellhead. You won't know WHAT hit you!

(The above picture was commissioned by Bob Layton at his wonderful site, check it out!)

And they're not alone dog-piling millionaire playboys masquerading as high-tech heroes. The Mighty Crusaders are up to the task as well!

So is the Dark Knight feared less than an Armored Avenger? Only three-to-one? Their Distinguished Competitor must be winching at the dissing he received that "To Many Heroes" didn't welcome him to MLJ!

Addendum: Seems like Peter "T-Bolt" Cannon is fairing just as badly against his ferro foe as is the Web against his ferro fiend, Ironfist!


(Sorry, we had to slip in a Friday Fiend reference)

Friday Fiends: Mr. Stark, Meet the Iron men ... Arm and Fist

Never was it more apparent that the novelty of Ironman was catching fire throughout comicdom of the 1960's than today's pair of Friday Fiends.

Iron-Fist was a run-of-the-mill crook with a flair for technology he couldn't control. In other words, his genius outraced his common sense. Enter the Web, who fearlessly will always confront any ill-tempered individual (save his wife during one of her mood swings), regardless of their armaments.



During this tale, Web tried to corral his flying foe who's jet boots ran amok, only to get knocked out himself while the dastardly dufus ran off to regroup and recoup. And perhaps, just perhaps, come up with a felonious scheme to merit his steep investment in high-tech lifestyle?

Iron-Arm however was a product of a more serious brand of criminal, the hired goon, in this instance hired out to dispatch Captain Atom. With a gimmick including super strong mechanical arm attachments, Iron-Arms proved to be more than just a henchman but a real nasty piece of work.  And they had quite a go of it the first time they locked horns.

In the end, each Iron man faced defeat by different means. For Iron-Arms, it was simply that his powerpack was overexerted when facing the atomic avenger, leading to this one-trick pony konking out for good. For Iron-Fist, it was due to the shamefulness of having an adversary pollycoddle to his wife... seriously that is what happened back in the silver age days of Mighty Comics ... causing the rogue to rethink his own priorities! Neither proved a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of their Marvelous inspiration!
