Comments: Part three of five parts/part one of three parts. First page says, “Who Remembers Scorpio? Part One” though that was the title of issue #46. Hellcat compares Aragorn to the Pegasus symbol of the Mobil gas company (now part of ExxonMobil). Jack Norriss refers to “Congressman Hayes” as a crooked leader who was caught; he is likely referring to Wayne Hays [sic], Democratic Representative from Ohio who was toppled by a sex scandal in 1976, shortly before this issue appeared. Moon Knight refers to Vic Tanny’s gym, a popular chain of fitness centers in the post-war years before facing bankruptcy in the 1960s. Scorpio is a fan of Billie Holiday and Judy Garland, though he spells the former’s name “Billy.” Comic strip character Mandrake the Magician is invoked. And the High Point Monument (dedicated to the state’s veterans) is a real structure on NJ’s highest point. On the final page, there’s a shout-out to Don McGregor for a last-minute script assist.
