DEEP SEA DANNY’S IRON FISH

Some delicious retro boys’-comic fun now.

Way back in 1949 the world – at least, the prepubescent, British, male comics-reading parts of it – were introduced to Danny Gray: a ginger-beer-swilling delinquent with an überscientist father. A father, by the way, whose genius-level intellect for some reason didn’t prevent him cockwittedly decided A Fucking Enormous Spike-tipped Murderous Icthyoid Submersible would be an appropriate birthday present for his plucky 12-year-old spawn.

Over the years that followed Danny’s adventures in said warweapon “would include encounters with loch monsters, web-footed Fish Men on mysterious islands, pygmies and giants, and nefarious enemies like Captain Sun, who attempted to hijack the Iron Fish, an evil Birdman, and the gigantic hornets under the control of Insect Man.”

There’s just too much delightful campery and traditional oldskool endangerment-of-minors here for us to ignore. So let’s bring Danny into the Today. What marvellous machine – what piscine wonder – would his deranged Da create for him today? And what would compel the loony old fucker to dispatch his own son to face… well… the crappest-named villains in the world?

Please, someone, make an allusion to Danny Rand, Iron Fist, please. I'll love you for ever.

Aha: some googling suggests that the Iron Fish resurfaced (ho ho) in the Dandy for one story in the 90's.

I'm kind of surprised this hasn't made an appearance on The Venture Bros, given Doc and Jackson's love of obscure pop culture and comics in general.

I still think there's something perverse going on beneath the surface (groan) of their relationship; Dad probably needs to bathe daily in some weird kelp to stop subcutaneous-sea-louses from feasting on his genitalia and vital organs, that sort of thing.
