Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Elements of Destruction" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...the three Shogun Warriors face three enemies who are the embodiments of the ancient "elements" of Earth, Fire, and Water!
At the moment, the Earth Elemental may be getting the best of Combatra!
Remember, I said "may"...

As we showed last week with Combatra, the entire backstory created for Raideen in his Japanese adventures was discarded for this series.
Unlike Combatra, Raideen was piloted by just one individual...but he had a whole support team behind him, assisting as needed!
Here's the credits Sequence for the Raideen TV series...
Next Monday, More Mecha Madness!

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Elements of Destruction" Part 1

...no disrespect intended!
Please don't squish me!!!
Anyway, since the splash page synopsized what happened, let's keep going...
To Be Continued Next Monday!
In its' original Japanese incarnation, Combatra (aka Combattler V) is, like the various Voltrons and Power Ranger Zords, a multi-part/multi-operator robot!
Here's a pic of the original team...
...and here's the TV series' opening sequence, demonstrating how the separate vehicles merge...

Friday Fun CRACKED and CRAZY BiCentennial Features

MAD is Easily the Most Famous of the b/w Comic Parody Magazines...

...but there were others who were no slouches when it came to satire and parody, starting with this never-reprinted feature from Marvel's Crazy #19 (1976)...




Written by Michael Pellowski and illustrated by Tony Tallarico.
Now, let's look at the other major MAD competitor, with this three-pager written and illustrated by Don Orehek from Major Magazines' Cracked #137 (1976)...



Finally, another Cracked feature, this one from #136 (1976) by writer/artist Su Gumen which demonstrates how "media bias" works!



Hope you liked these 49 year-old flashbacks to the Bicentennial!
And I pray America's still around for her 250th Birthday next year!

But, Next Week
Another Mechanical Marvel!
This never-reprinted conclusion to the story from Marvel's Shogun Warriors #2 was written by Doug Moench, penciled by Herb Trimpe, and inked by Dan Green.

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Warriors Three!" Part 1

When Last We Left Our Giant Robots...

...normally, I'd explain what's going on, but the characters themselves, a rather chatty bunch, are happy to do so...









You and me both, Richard!
We'll return to the robot controller training session
Next Monday!
But I have a question...are all the robots designed for multiple controllers?
And, if so, why don't we have more potential pilots being trained?
Will Raydeen function as effectively with only one pilot?
Guess we'll find out...
