Monster Zero title card!


 Still one of the greatest monster movies titles of all time.  Though, one might not know it was a Godzilla movie, so I can see why it was changed later on.

Lady Whirlwind... Mao Ying

 

From Wiki- Lady Whirlwind a.k.a. Deep Thrust (Chinese: 鐵掌旋風腿) is a 1972 Hong Kong martial arts film written and directed by Huang Feng, starring Angela Mao.[2][3][4].  A young man Ling Shih-hua (Chang Yi) is severely beaten by Japanese mobsters and left for dead on the beach. He is nursed back to health by a pretty young girl, and he vows to take revenge on the criminals. Meanwhile, Miss Tien Li-Chun (Angela Mao) comes to town with a score to settle with Ling.  Back to me now!

After reviewing the terror movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People, I have started to look at a few more of Disney's output from that time frame, say the late 50s to the early 70s.  The Three Lives of Thomasina, The Shaggy Dog, The Gnome-Mobile, and several more all had magical characters in them, or magical elements characters used.  I was surprised at all the rather interesting and occult-oriented.  Since it is ostensibly set in England and is about witches and the like, I am sure the credit designers just looked for interesting images to use without much thought about it.

459. Mrs. Peel, Reviews of Avengers books are Needed!

             Two books about the Avengers, and not one of them has a costumed superhero in it!  And yet, I love them.

HOTW- The Vision (Timely)

From Wiki- Vision (Aarkus) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by the writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared during the Golden Age of comic books in Marvel Mystery Comics #13 (Nov. 1940), published by Marvel predecessor Timely Comics.[1]  The Golden Age Vision, also known as Aarkus, is an alien law enforcement officer from a dimension called Smokeworld.[3] While Aarkus is looking for a suitable place to exile a prisoner, he is accidentally contacted by Earth scientist Markham Erickson. Leaving the prisoner on the planet Jupiter, Aarkus accepts Erickson's invitation to fight crime on Earth.[4] Aarkus does so for several years, although during World War II he is briefly manipulated by the Axis powers into fighting the Allies. The superhero team the Invaders help Aarkus realize his mistake.[5]  In The Avengers #97 (March 1972), Rick Jones summons Vision, among other Golden Age heroes, to assist the Avengers during the Kree–Skrull War.[6] Back to me:
