Pep 22: the Big Yellow Marble


Like a dog, the Shield marks his territory through circumminction.

"The earth is MINE, Giant Jackboot; MINE, I say!"

  5. If DC won't take The Hangman, he can always change that blue to a deep purple and get a job as a Marvel 3rd-string villain.

  7. Those are some big honking spikes on the jackboot. Must be hard to walk in those things, although I suppose being larger than a terrstrial planet limits the need (or even the opportunity) to walk much.

    Also, German and Japanese flags on the heel? I'm pretty sure walking on your national flag is more desecration than veneration, especially if the neighbor's dog has been in the yard again.

    And hey, no Italian flag? Did Mussollini let his Axis membership lapse or something? Must have been late war era...
