Produktbeschreibung
In 1976 the Human Fly became the sensation of talk shows and news reports - literally risking life and limb in the most dangerous of acts wearing a mask and costume to conceal his identity. The man who promised to ' out-Evel Knievel' Evel Knievel! So popular, at that time, that Marvel actually made him part of their comics universe for a year and a half! And now, the anonymous adventurer has re-emerged, in a drama ripped from TODAY's headlines as the Fly confronts startling new adversaries: drug cartels, suspicious federal agents from three nations, and a men' s-rights terrorist group led by the charismatic, media-savvy Fire Sword? Featuring glorious, insane stunts at real-life locations in Canada, the USA and Mexico! The Human Fly is back in a high-octane series containing everything fans loved about him in the sizzling ' 70s, but with intriguing new mysteries. Is today's Fly the same man who nearly died in a Montreal Olympic Stadium crash of 1977? Who is his new apprentice, Mercury, and is she secretly out to betray him? How long is the Fly's legacy - decades or centuries? The Human Fly swings into peril for the sake of worthy charities again, but he remains the most amazing superhero of all - because he's REAL!
