This is Black Hawk. He was one of the stars of a short lived British anthology title called Tornado, a former slave who became a Roman gladiator. It was a nice little historical adventure strip. Then Tornado got cancelled, and rather than let Black Hawk slip quietly into comics limbo, the publishers transferred him to sci-fi anthology 2000 AD, instead. The results were...interesting...  Shades of Hex. |

From the other side of the wall in their offices in Derby, Conn. bowling balls were heard clashing in the lanes, and the parties would have had to speak up a little during the editorial meeting. Nevertheless, when it was proposed that for the nest issue of Fightin' Army, the flagship war comic, that the Nazis should meet up with American western folk icon Billy the Kid, it was almost certainly heard and received without a second thought. God bless comics. God bless Charlton comics.  |

Actually, the shadow of that gun looks suspiciously like the aftermath of all that Nazi excitement. "Dancin'" Don Perlin is the artist. |

MechaGodzilla. That issue has some personal significance to me. (And was my first encounter with Jonah Hex who went one to become one of my all time favourite characters.)
