HOOK JAW (1976): Controversial kids' comic Action's main event, a vengeful great white with a dirty great gaff hook lodged in its gob. Initially written and drawn by Pat Mills and Ramon Sola, this was an insanely, deliriously violent strip, with arms, legs, and heads popping off.

This guy is doing the lord’s work.

Dark Journey blinds Jake Roberts with ink - then he accidentally ddts her to the crowd’s delight. Been re-watching so much Mid South the last several weeks & it’s a real treat. Great wrestling, great angles & animated/lively crowds.
