Faucon Noir #9
"Blackie, étoile du cinéma" marks a pivotal moment in the Faucon Noir series, spotlighting a rare solo adventure for Jo as he navigates the spotlight of early 1970s French cinema. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated with sharp precision by Joe Staton—both inks and pencils—this 1978 issue captures the character’s charm amid a world of intrigue and mechanical marvels. The cover by Joe Staton perfectly frames the blend of glamour and mystery that defines the story.
In "Après la fin," the Metal Men break away from Doc and defy General Caspar’s command, setting off a chain of tension that leads Green Lantern to suspect their involvement with the rogue Missile Men. When the Metal Men ultimately defeat the Missile Men using the power of Green Lantern’s unconscious ring, Doc completes his latest creation: the Inheritor.
