The Heck with it - The Invincible Iron Man

I should take a break from posting since I literally put the final touches on my last post just a few seconds ago but I got the idea for doing this post while working on my last post and this should be a quick post anyway.


While writing the last post I wanted to add a page from the LEGION OF SUPER - HEROES issues penciled by Steve Ditko. Usually I wait with putting all the pages I come across while writing my posts in the respective folders until I have completely finished the post. Because you never know which page you may need. But this time I had already put them into the Steve Ditko folder so I had to go through all the pages. And while I was doing that I found some pages from the german IRON MAN comics by Don Heck that somehow ended up in the Steve Ditko folder. And yes, Steve Ditko did indeed draw issues of IRON MAN as well as HULK and a few others.


Anyway, as longtime readers of this blog know one of my pet peeves is to spotlight artists who are underappreciated, undervalued or underrated, in short any creators where I think they undeservedly got the short end of the stick. I also mentioned that in my opinion Don Heck is such an artist because for most people he is just the guy who drew IRON MAN until Gene Colan took on the title or AVENGERS until John Buscema took over. Most people forget that he did not only solid artwork but he also drew some of the sexiest babes in comics ( which was one of the reasons why he got such high profile titles ) and he also did a lot of work for DC on titles like TEEN TITANS, AQUAMAN, BATMAN or THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. 


So after I put the misplaced IRON MAN pages by Don Heck into the Iron Man folder I remembered that I had planned to do a spotlight post on him for ever and a day and since there were also a lot of original art pages in that folder I thought why not now ? A lot of pages were from the german version and while those would be especially interesting for my readers abroad it also put me in quite a dilemma. Because with the german comics some series went into the back up pages for more successful ones and while IRON MAN - or DER EISERNE like he was called in Germany - had his own publication for a short time he later went into the back up features.


Now when those original IRON MAN issues were split up to fit in the back ups some pages were altered, some were changed but in most of the cases they needed new intro pages to catch the readers up to speed. In some cases they just took a cover that they had not used and put some words on it but in other cases they just brought in some staff artists who redrew some original pages or drew montages of different poses. So it is in some cases very difficult what is a Don Heck page with poor production quality and what is just the fabrication of a lesser talented staff artist.


I hope I have eliminated all of those and like I said there are a lot of pages from the german comics in this post. With the original art pages I tried to find corresponding color pages but in some cases I don´t know from which issue the pages are. I have also included some color pages from the US comics to show the difference to the german pages. So without further ado here is what for a whole generation of comic readers was the cool world of billionaire, inventor and super hero Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man.

birthdays

Daniel Dae Kim 50 with korean knockout Grace Park who strutted her stuff on Hawaii Five O after playing the toaster every guy would love to use for breakfast in bed on Battlestar Galactica.


One thing I never understood on Battlestar Galactica was why the cylons fought such a long war with the humans when they could have just mass produced such hot sexbombs like Grace Park and Tricia Helfer and drown humanity with them. In a few weeks they would have made all men their obedient sex slaves and they could have taken over without casualties.

At the moment my daily schedule changes constantly but for the past three weeks I have started watching Hawaii Five - O again after I learned that neither Grace Park nor Daniel Dae Kim will be on the new seasons.


Usually I don´t go for skinny chicks but I would love to get Grace Park on the casting couch for a long weekend auditioning for Nymphomanic Ex - Nun With A Lot Of Sexual Catching Up To Do. She got the whole asian persuasion thing going for her and I don´t want to use racial stereotypes but asian girls really do have the best bubblebutts in the world. I doubt there is any male alive who can resist Grace Park wiggling her whotsit.


Billy Bob Thornton 63 he may have appeared in such movies like Tombstone, Armageddon, A Simple Plan and  An Indecent Proposal with  DemiMoore and


Besides mounting Harrelson´s Woody one of Demi´s best scenes is in the shopping mall where she is trying on a very expensive black dress and her shirt is hanging so low she is almost topless. What a great pair of melons !


( who got her own entry in the Top Ten Movie Stripteases thanks to herspectacularperformance in Striptease )


While Billy Bob Thornton had no sweaty sex scenes with Demi Moore he starred alongside 80s tv cult siren and real life Power Girl Markie Post ( to whom we will return with our next celebrity birthday candidate ) but all that pales to his biggest achievement namely doing it with Halle Berry on camera in Monster´s Ball


now on one side I feel like Sanji when he found out that somebody else had eaten the devil fruit that grants invisibility and his greatest dream of watching women bathe in the nude was forever dashed on the other side to be realistic what were - or still are - the real chances of an old, decrepict, overweight, short pervy guy like me doing it with an absolute international MILF sex goddess like Halle Berry so Billy Bob Thornton made that dream a reality

I won´t go into too much detail about that because I have almost finished the new posts for Halle Berry´s birthday this month and that´s right I said posts at first I just wanted to write one post but then it got a bit long so I decided to split it into two posts like last year since that also gives me the opportunity to do two video sections I have already chosen all the videos and I just have to add some text here and there although the second part has become a bit longer than expected so there may be actually three new posts on Halle Berry´s birthday and gear up for a whole lot of Halle Berry content who did a remarkable sexy dance ( not a striptease as she didn´t take her clothes off ) in The LastBoyScout , teased us in Catwoman and finally delivered in Password : Swordfish and Monster´sBall . She also appears in my Justice League of America movie casting and got evenfoursoloposts .


a callback to my last post in which we had 80s and 90s soft core movie icon Monique Gabrielle who is best known for her role in Bachelor Party and the title character in Emanuelle 5 she also appeared in Amazon Women On The Moon which also featured Donald Gibb 64 best known for Bloodsport where he played the other american guy in the tournament who was not Jean Claude Van Damme

someone once said that for a tv show you need one good looking guy to play the hero but dozens of big, burly guys to play the bad guys and so muscular behemoth Donald Gibb appeared in everything from such cult movies like Conan the Barbarian, Revenge of the Nerds, Revenge of the Nerds II : Nerds In Paradise to every cult tv series like Simon & Simon, Hardcastle & McCormick, The A - Team, Magnum P I, Knight Rider, MacGyver, Quantum Leap, Cheers, The X - Files, Seinfeld and Renegade

the only reason to watch Renegade was Lorenzo´s wife Kathleen Kinmont who could have made a fortune as a stripper with a hardbody like that.


Coming back to Donald Gibb whats even more he worked twice with 80s cult siren and real life Power Girl Markie Post on Night Court and on Hearts Afire


80s Power Girl Markie Post is probably the best known cult siren on the blog because not only have I done many re - posts of her original post .


I also keep mentioning her in other posts and her original post is in the Top Ten Posts widget that appears on every post. Since I have done so many different versions it is not so tragic that I did not do a re - post last year even though I did the last version of her cult siren entry in 2016 .

bloodsport



the name of Edwin Malave 68 may not sound very familiar but if I tell you that he also goes by the name Chu Chu Malvae all my readers who have ever watched and Andy Sidaris movie will instantly recognize it since he did not star in one, not in two, not in three but all of four from Andy Sidaris famous Bullets, Bombs and Boobs movies Guns, Do or Die, Hard Hunted and Fit To Kill

Andy was probably THE BEST director of action movies for adults. And his cast read like a WHOS´S WHO of playmates : RobertaVasquez , AvaCadell , brunetteCynthiaBrimhall, Dona Speir , Pandora Peaks, JulieStrain , ShaeMarks, SamanthaPhillipsandJulieK.Smith to name just a few of them.

Usually I just copy / paste the part about Becky Mullen into the posts but I am trying to keep this one short so I will skip it. For those who haven´t read any of my previous Andy Sidaris posts there is the main post where I wrote a bit about one of my unsung heroes , the Casting the Justice League of America movie Andy Sidaris special with a lot of stuff about Dona Speir, Roberta Vazquez, Cynthia Brimhall and the Tutti Frutti girls, the Ava Cadell solo post , the Dona Speir post ( with reposts in 2017 and this year ), the Sybil Danning post and the Becky Mullen post ( which I reposted in 2016 ) where you can find tons of links to other cult sirens like JanetJonesGretzky and real live Power Girl Leslie Easterbrook who had the most famous scene in which she emerges from a pool in a wet t - shirt , theannualre - posts of italian mega soccerMILFSimona Ventura , blonde sexsation Monique Sluyter and of course the obligatory Tutti Frutti girls.

Robert McLane 1992 best known for one of the best Russ Meyer movies Up featuring Raven De La Croix whom I cast as wonder Woman in my first Casting the Justice League of America alternates post

Meyer’s 1976 comedy thriller UP ! was was co - written by Roger Ebert and contains Nazis, lesbianism, rape, buggery, a backwoods sheriff, piranha, kinky sex - and that’s just the first 10 minutes ! The movie offers a lot of very graphic sex scenes which are highly erotic, well photographed and stunningly edited. The female cast members all engage with the outdoor, sunny California countryside, but under a spell of kinetic blankness like sex machines gone wild especially Janet Wood who has one of the best scenes with on - screen partner Robert McLane who was a homosexual in real life. I have read that homosexual actors are often used in straight porn because it´s almost impossible for them to climax during sex with a woman but Janet Wood doesn´t look like a woman who takes no for an answer. So either she is riding him like a woman possessed because she can finally vent all her pent up sexual energy on him or she has worked herself in a frenzy trying to put him on the straight path again. In any case her nymphomaniac urges obviously got the better of Janet because she has never acknowledged her work in this film over the decades.


Now besides possibly being the first Russ Meyer movie I saw in a cinema another reasons why it´s my favorite - besides the bevy of hot sexbombs like Kitten Natividad or Marianne Marks in the cast - is the lead actress. 

The gorgeous Raven De La Croix with an exotic name and a body which can only be a true gift from the gods, stars as Margo Winchester, one of Meyer’s strongest female characters. Constantly victimized by most men, yet refusing to play the victim, spitting out her lines in a Mae West - type drawl, Delacroix and her bountiful figure totally steal the movie. Totally nude and usually running around outdoors for most of the film, Delacroix is incredibly sexy and funny. She had done lots of modeling by 1976 and appeared in UP! after coming to terms with the fact that she had to perform nude scenes and graphic sex scenes. According to de la Croix, she really went all out for this film, destroying her feet while running through the desert, almost sacrificing her life during the drowning / rape scene, and unknowingly being body doubled during some of the more questionable sex scenes ( I wonder where they found that body double ).


She looks like a real life Wonder Woman and it´s a shame there never was a Bronze Age Wonder Woman movie with Raven in the lead role. The former model for blow up sex dolls practically played the role of the busty amazonian princess in the 1984 Jim Wynorsky skin flick The Lost Empire.

He and Andy Sidaris are the only legitimate heirs of Russ Meyer so it´s no wonder ( no pun intended ) that Raven who had worked with Russ Meyer also worked with Jim. The movie is good entertainment for real men and Raven has some good scenes like the one with a fake snake ( ? ) below which I included because the bad quality of the picture combined with the red light and the steam almost doesn´t show you anything. You still can see that Raven´s boobs are just beyond epic. I envy her screen partner !


speaking of Russ Meyer

Russ Meyer muse Tura Satana and I did a cult siren post for her in 2011 which I re - posted in 2016 which is mostly about the cult movie Faster Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill ! ( The Devil Women of Tittfield in german ) although it touches on her other movies and has her full bio
