Friday Night Fights---Double Disarm Style!

We're going Silver Age for Friday Night Fights, with a little bit of Thanagarian Fu:

Now, I know many of you are saying, "that's an early Silver Age DC splash page. It probably didn't even actually happen in the story."

Au contraire, amigos.

First, note the miracles of DC Science:

Yup, crocodile boots enable one to walk on water (which is pretty amazing, because even intact crocodiles can't do that!)...but hey, these cultists are using their feet in battle, and that's what counts in Feet Of Fury!!

But even walking on water can't prevent Katar from taking them out (while in mid-air, no less):

You have to appreciate the mid-air-horizontal-double-disarm-scissor kick, don't you?

Spacebooger is amazed at an accurate Silver Age DC splash page...

Hawkman's Gymkata is originally from Hawkman #7 (1965), by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson. I found the reprint in Four Star Spectacular #1 (1976).
