Review: From the sublime to the ridiculous: after a five-issue arc wherein the Defenders help liberate a future Earth from alien domination, our heroes return to face…an evil tap-dancer? Not to worry, he’s backed up by a robotic chorus line. The DEFENDERS frequently hovered on the line between exciting and silly and this one is a prime example. But for all its silliness, the issue is fun in its own goofy way. Kudos to Steve Gerber whose sense of fun, spilled over from HOWARD THE DUCK, would immediately go back there in MARVEL TREASURY EDITION #12.
Comments: First, last, and only appearance of Tapping Tommy. Title is a play on GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933, the vintage musical which features the song, “We’re in the Money,” sung by the robot chorus. We’re told that Hodges created the gas bombs for “that awful gorilla movie back in the thirties;” do they mean KING KONG? Why would they need real gas bombs for a movie featuring a stop-motion animated monster ape? MARVEL TREASURY EDITION #12 takes place right after this issues, teaming the Defenders with Howard the Duck.
