SW10/WWW: Powernaut 1985 #10: Our Expedition is On!

[Scott Eiler]

It's the Heroes of the '80s vs. the Flying Sun Monkeys in Hypergaard. 
Hilarity ensues.  But there's more, as Powernaut 1985 escalates *again*!

And I may have found the perfect person to explain Powernaut 1985 
comics, so I'll let him run with it.

Bonus Section:  2005 Reprint Commentary from Wyatt Ferguson!  Heroes vs. 
Sun Monkeys

In the Powernaut 1985 strip, I'm impressed by how *everyone* got to 
fight the Flying Sun Monkeys in their own manner.  The Powernaut made a 
good choice in giving all the other characters his power.  And having 
the Flying Sun Monkeys fight a *solar-powered* robot who can *split in 
five* and *sweep the sky clean*, was simply inspired.

heh, who am I to say?  Well, we fanboys all said stuff like this at the 
time.  Everyone had an opinion on what belonged in the story.  For 
instance, Hyper-Ninja Sewer Creatures were unpopular - until people saw 
Simon the Sea Monkey taming a Sun Monkey.  Happy Bears were unpopular 
throughout.

For me this is commenting on pop culture, not on history.
