Set Description:
A fine series that has flown under the radar for quite some time! Eventually getting a little Feisty with fists, but here early on it is the Power Man outfit. Featuring the center of attention Luke Cage from Hero for Hire! Cage matches all around, for and from some heavy hitters. All the crime bosses have heard the rumor and want to test the patience of the Power Man! Have gangster will travel, drug kingpin and underlings, who themselves are as lethal. Luke is trying to be a family man, but duty calls!
There is power then there is man, don't corrupt either and you've got Luke Cage the Man. Back for some carousing and keeping the mean streets from imploding on themselves!
"Man, that canon!" That is just my right arm enforcing that upright support among the invulnerable force. The spotlight makes it ever so apparent that the humble too never get a day off, as that is what the fight is for, and summing up as showing off and out, isn't street enough to tow on the line and don't want to wind up doing time. Crime underway, weighing on hearts and minds. The gangs not caring their cliches, except they get the power struggle they crave. Paying no mind Power Man goes between them and divvies up the goal, of those would be proud pushers at any age or time. Kids may be tempted and need a role model! The Power Man, reluctant the hour of his reputation, and not thought of himself, but is what may be reported as the day of crime rolls back and put behind the force! One need not claim, what is rightfully his? Is it not his already, and need only to stand up and live? Crime cannot understand the undertow of a plight and plot the Power Man gives!

1st appearance of Cornell Cottonmouth. Mark Jewelers Insert! Not pressed. I'm a simple collector, but pressing these days is almost a must, although for this series it is seldom posted. Some really good stories that can make the grade, whether it be a gangster named Cotton Mouth Cornell or drug kingpin underlings that want to "insert 'pun'ishment!!" These Mark Jewelers are just too fun to find in the wild, even on a whim. Bought in 2021 from a live Facebook feed from local comic shop Duncanville Bookstore! It was a claim style auction, where they post book info and price, and if you're interested and the 1st to post claim, "anything you want, you got it!" A little smooth talking and these comics will be well read, with the bronze age writing style. Bought raw for $23 shipped, then the $25 to grade, a total under $50! I'll take it to the bank. Especially for the long haul in this kind of hobby and collecting.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Stuber!" An officer of the law recovering from eye surgery and who's partners death needs rectifying, hires an Uber stoner driver to help drive on the police officers' sick days from eye surgery. Much like Luke Cage whose informant died in this issue and needs a new way for justice to happen! With mark jewelers being sold only at military bases and this "officer" in film being none other than Dave Bautista that played Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, makes this a win-win! This isn't so much rocket science, but with a cartel like leader named Cottonmouth, Luke Cage gets snakes at his door and similarly Dave Bautista "The Animal" Drax actor brings stoners or heroin addicts to justice! Parallels of being a heroine!
