When I think of 1982, I think of many things:
Screaming for Vengeance
Tron
Remington Steele
but what I almost always forget is how civilization was conquered by Mongol Hordes.
Thank God we had Power Nelson to save us!
Power Nelson is another character from the Crestwood/Prize/Feature publications house who appeared in an anthology comic Prize Comics. Other regulars in this series included The Black Owl, The Green Lama and Frankenstein.
[ Prize Comics 03 ]
Power Nelson has recently been featured in the second Project Superpowers series from Dynamite Entertainment where he has been elected President of the United States. Normally I would think people would be relunctant to vote for a man who wears spikes on his clothes, but he most likely won simply on the strength of his reputation for punching robots so hard their guts exploded.

Enjoy!
And thus, Magnus Robot Fighter was born ...!
ReplyDeleteYou know - I would love to post some of the old Magnus Robot Fighters, but I'm not sure they are in public domain. I should check on that.
ReplyDeleteI still don't know what to make of Power Nelson -- but it is good that many of these older characters are being exposed to a hungry audience.
ReplyDelete@GACN - yeah, Power Nelson is a little wonky isn't he? He's got Daredevil's spikes, a sort of Flash Gordon feel and Superman-like powers. It definitely feels like they were trying to cover all their bases on this one. :D
