BEN GRIMM & LOGAN "Connecting Flight" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...before The Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, or SHIELD existed, and before Kree Captain Mar-Vell came to Earth, Americans Ben Grimm, Carol Danvers, and Canadian Logan, infiltrated the USSR, where they encountered Natasha Romanoff (who is not operating under her own name)...and since the Russian isn't working with the trio, but against them...it ain't going well!

Sadly, we never see what happens during "Phase Two"!

Written by Larry Hama, penciled by Kaare Andrews and inked by Walden Wong, this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Before the Fantastic Four: Ben Grimm & Logan #3 (2000) is set in the dawn of the Silver Age Marvel Universe, before the events of Fantastic Four #1!

And there's a reason Natasha isn't using her own name...but we never learn what it is!

BEN GRIMM & LOGAN "Midnight Train to Moscow" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroines and Heroes...

(And yes, that's one of the two heroines in the lower right of the cover)

Logan and Ben Grimm, aboard an experimental flying wing piloted by Carol Danvers, currently in Soviet airspace are forced down by Russian aircraft lead by Natasha Romanoff (who is not currently using that name).

While Grimm and Logan distract the Russkies by doing what they do best...creating mayhem and chaos, Danvers sneaks away...but encounters a threat as dangerous as Soviet soldiers...

BARBIE "Flying Hero Barbie in 'Catch the Courage' "

There've been Barbie figures based on various DC and Marvel heroines...

...but did you know there was a unique super-heroine Barbie...with her own team of heroines as well?

I'm afraid we won't see Flying Hero Barbie in comics again (except in the other story in this particular comic), since, sadly, this was the final issue of the Marvel/Star series (#63 in 1995)!

Written by Barbara Slate and illustrated by Mary Wilshire, this never-reprinted tale was part of the promotional push for a then-new line of Barbie dolls...

Interesting that the doll was "Flying Hero", not "Flying Heroine"...
Even though the Flying Heroes aren't in the new movie...

...if you're a fan, go see it this weekend!
