The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 379: 7 Guys of Justice #6, April 2001


(Ick. I really do have to scan all of these covers and upload them to Comics.org.)

The menace of Mr. Happy Jetpack. A surprisingly intelligent comic, this one, considering the main protagonist is a drunk in a happy face helmet. Nightie Knight continues to try to be a serious hero, there's a costume-killer prowling the streets, and Hunter-Gatherer is on the case. The rest of the 7 Guys are trying to find a replacement for H-G, who quit last issue.

I read this series with a mounting sense of dread. I can't remember which stories are wrapped up and which are left hanging. This issue ends with a man exploding our of Lord Talon's blueberry pie, warning of a crisis of world-ending proportions.

Onward.
