Friday Night Fights--Double Shot Style!!

Friday Night Fights, Feet Of Fury edition is upon us again, and this time we're taking the quarter-bin express to the dark days of 1998, when I was out of comics.

Let's tune into Robin/Argent Double-Shot #1 (1998), plotted by Dan Jurgens, scripted by Chuck Dixon, pencilled by Greg Land (!), and inked by Jose Marzan:

BAM!!! But, this is a Double-Shot, right? so where's Argent's foot-to-face action??


KERSPOW!!


Hey, wait a minute...that's not Argent!! How can it be a "Double-Shot" when you have THREE heroes in it? I cry foul!!

Happy Birthday, Spacebooger!!

BONUS RANT: Here's the cover for our issue:

Here's a line from the text page of the issue, by editor Eddie Berganaza:

"This issue's cover by Greg Land and Jose Marzan Jr is a tribute to a similar pose Batman and Robin took for Carmine Infantino."

Wait a minute--Greg Land basing his artwork on other people's poses? Whoever woulda thought...?

1. At least Carmine got credited for the original pose. Guys like Travis Charest weren't so lucky.

2. At least Argent isn't making an "O" face.
