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?

Go. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332769#Comment_332769 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332769#Comment_332769 Tue, 29 May 2012 07:34:58 -0700 Beamish http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332771#Comment_332771 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332771#Comment_332771 Tue, 29 May 2012 08:50:58 -0700 struthersneil
Aha: some googling suggests that the Iron Fish resurfaced (ho ho) in the Dandy for one story in the 90's.

(Can't remember the surname of a girl I went out with for four months in 2003 but I can remember Danny and his Iron Fish. The power of COMICS.) ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332790#Comment_332790 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332790#Comment_332790 Tue, 29 May 2012 12:01:53 -0700 glukkake

I pledge my allegiance to The Dandy and The Beano. I'd forgotten how everyone used to read them when I was a kid in school.

As always, I look forward to seeing the wonderful art everyone dishes out on this thread. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332855#Comment_332855 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10687&Focus=332855#Comment_332855 Tue, 29 May 2012 20:09:32 -0700 Purple Wyrm The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

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.
