Manic Labor Day--Hercules' Greatest Labor?!?

Well, we can hardly celebrate Labor Day without the original man of labor--12 of them, to be precise--Hercules!!

The Prince of Power has just saved the planet Ciegrim-7, but the celebrations are interrupted when a certain herald of a certain planet-eater shows up...

But it turns out that Hercules and this particular herald are from the same backwater planet...

Well, one thing led to another, and...ahem...well, there was still a Comics Code back in those days, so let's just put it like this:

Oh, Hercules!!

Anyway, after Hercules beats Galactus with the power of laughter (and I mean that literally!), well...



Oh, Hercules...he labors for all of us, folks!!!

From Hercules: Prince Of Power #4 (1982)

  1. I enjoyed that mini-series a lot. It didn't take itself seriously at all. "Ceigram-7." Snicker.

  2. Didn't Galactus turn Frankie Ray into "Nova" when he made her his herald in FF#244?

    Is her appearance her in her original form explained?

    Not that I think it's that IMPORTANT, mostly just curious.

    I've always heard Herc's miniseries was a lot of fun, guess I'll have to check it out.


    P.S. I wonder if Johnny ever found out about their "meeting"...

    Thanks!

  3. Wes--The Surfer can "de-silver" to appear as Norrin Radd when need be. I assume this is the same sort of thing.
