Fantastic Four 226

Fantastic Four 226
Jan 1981

The Samurai Destroyer

Ilongo Savage, Richard Carson, and Genji Odashu (the pilots of the Shogun Warriors) visit the Fantastic Four in the Baxter Building and ask them for help. Their giant robots have been destroyed but the Samurai Destroyer, a new giant robot, is threatening Japan and they need the help of the Fantastic Four to defeat it.

Thoughts

The Fantastic Four appeared in Shogun Warriors 19 (Aug 1980) and 20 (Sep 1980), the last two issues in that series. Doug Moench wrote both of those issues of Shogun Warriors and all but one issue of that series. This issue of Fantastic Four is the only comic book outside of Shogun Warriors 1-20 in which Savage, Carson, and Odashu appeared.

This is a one and done. It is basically the epilogue to the story of the Shogun Warriors. I do not own and have not read any issues of Shogun Warriors.

Fantastic Four Fan Page

The first of the letters on this page asks lots of questions but doesn’t offer much in the way of feedback. The other three fan letters on this page are filled with praise for the current creative team of Moench and Sienkiewicz.
