Dominic Fortune in “Moo over Manhattan” in Hulk! 23 Oct 1980

 Story Denny O’Neil Art Howard Chaykin

Dominic and Sabbath have stuck around New York and Dom has managed to get a celebrity endorsement for Ferdley’s Milk.  “Sure is yummy kids! I have it before all my adventures.”  Fortune tells us.

And his first job is to meet Hollywood star Chisholm Smith, who he knew in the old neighbourhood as Herkie Slivowitz.  Smith gets attacked and Dom steps in to help. 

Only we discover that Smith is a Nazi sympathiser and working with Baron Strucker to assassinate the guest of honour Senator Foster at the premiere of Smith’s new movie (who becomes Senator Fulton when we meet him – oopsie editors) 

Dominic’s agent Acey Dugan shows Fortune proof that Smith is a Nazi and the pair begin to fight as Sabbath realises that the Senator who is visiting the men’s room is in danger.  Dom knocks out Smith and rescues the Senator.  Great publicity for Ferdley’s milk.

Another cracker of a story, with a nice touch of connection to the Marvel universe proper with the appearance of Baron Strucker, who doesn’t do much but it was a nice touch.
