SHORT BOX READS-
Shogun Warriors #1-20 (1978)
For the uninitiated, the Shogun Warriors were a Mattel toy line licensed from several Japanese properties. Namely, Brave Raideen (Raydeen), Voltes V (Combatra) and Wakusei Robo Danguard Ace (Danger Ace). There were others in the toy line, but these were the three that Marvel chose for the comic book written by Doug Moench and drawn by Herb Trimpe.
Around this time, as I recall (I was 5 or 6), there seemed to be a lot of American takes on Japanese cartoons; Battle of the Planets (Ninja Team Gatchaman), Tranzor Z (Mazinger Z) and my all-time favorite Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato). So the Shogun Warriors was right up my alley. I enjoyed reading this title then, but I’m afraid to say that other than Trimpe’s cool artwork, this doesn’t hold up very well. I expected that it wouldn’t, but in spite of that, I still enjoyed revisiting this run. The story is light and doesn’t always follow any real logic, but still a good read if taken at face value.
Synopsis? An ancient race of aliens known as “The Followers of Light” choose three people to pilot the titular warriors and defend the earth from various kaiju and assorted mech. That is really about all there is to it. Not that it needs much else as it was aimed directly at little kids. If I do have one complaint, it would be the design of the enemy kaiju and robots. Like I said, Trimpe’s art is great, but some of the antagonists look quickly rendered and frankly, kinda dumb.
Nonetheless, I’m glad I revisited this comic. But, in order to make room for my growing read pile, I re-homed issues 6-20. I held on to the first five issues as they were the strongest of the bunch.
As part of my efforts to repost episodes lost while switching servers, I’ve just republished episode four.
This one features my old friend, Jeff Jingle of Anguish. You can listen at the link in the bio or wherever you catch podcasts.
I’m cranky.
3rd Bass’ “The Cactus Album” > than Beastie Boys “Licensed to Ill”.
Cactus beats the brakes off Licensed seven days a week and twice on Sunday. Licensed is a record (mostly, NOT exclusively) enjoyed by dopes that use the hard R when referring to any hip hop not made by the Beastie Boys.
Paul’s Boutique is another story entirely.
Episode 115 (Underrated Seven Inches) is now on Apple Podcasts. For some reason there was a HUGE delay in Apple posting the most recent episode. It was available on all the other platforms the day it dropped, so I don’t know what the hang up was…Obviously, it is probably better to listen at the link in the bio, but I know a ton of folks listen at Apple. So, it is up now if that is your preference.
Thanks!!!!
