Story Denny O’Neil Art Howard Chaykin
So as part of
his advertising Dom has to appear on the radio show Ferdley’s Milk Hour with
Tina Timons. Tina is a movie star (kinda
like Shirley Temple) and sings on the radio to promote her movies. She has an annoying cutesy-wootsy with a
widdle lisp and Dom is less than impressed until an audience member Lancelot
Mahoney tries to charge the stage.
Dom leaps into
action and tackles the man who is led off mentioning that he knows a secret.
We discover the
secret – Tiny Tina is not a little girl but a midget with a facelift (like
Ester in the Orphan movies) who has slept with the head of the studio and
blackmailed him into letting her make movies.
Mahoney is her ex-husband.
Her manager
hires Fortune to be a proactive bodyguard killing Mahoney before he can blow
the whistle. Of course, making it look like self defence.
Dom tells
Sabbath to stay in the car – which if you guessed she doesn’t do, you’d be
right. But Sabbath overhears the plan
and stops Dom from killing Mahoney.
Very unhappy,
Dom confronts Tina who is canoodling with her new paramour, she likes her men
dumb and strong. Dom gets into a fight
and Tina pulls a gun only for Sabbath to take it from her. Sabbath has called in a favour with the
Commissioner (from Ghoul of My Dreams) to arrest Tiny Tina.
I have so many
questions – Tina is posing as a girl of six and her new boyfriend is okay with
that. Did the studio head know she was a
woman or did he think she was a young girl when he slept with her?
At this point
the rest of the Hulk magazine is in black and white but Fortune’s adventures
are in colour still. It really makes the
story stand out.
