Strongman.jpg

 

Strongman (SLG Publishing, 2009) digest-sized graphic novel

 

Luchador/nocturnal crime-fighter/movie star Tigre (basically, Santo in a different mask)

was a Mexican wrestling god during the late 60s and early 70s until a shocking tragedy ended it all.

 

Twenty-five years later, Tigre's a washed-up jobber, wrestling for booze money while living rough in New York.

But his life gets turned upside-down when a beautiful woman comes to him for help and he's forced to confront

the nightmare that destroyed his life in 1973.

 

Writer Charles Soule packs in a ton of stuff: wrestling, illegal organ transplants, cannibalism and betrayal.

Allen Gladfelter's art is delightfully competent, clean and no-nonsense.

one-shot put together by Chris Eliopoulos and Marc Sumerak,

The Thing has agreed to do a charity bout for the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation

(as first seen in his own solo series from the 1980s).

 

He brings along Franklin and his pet robot H.E.R.B.I.E. Unfortunately,

The Thing's opponent Thunder is actually a super-villain seeking revenge against the Fantastic Four.
