Friday Night Fights: Oh, Snap!

It's been Falcon Week over at Always Bet on Bahlactus, where the Big Mister B has laying down the awesome with some of the greatest cover appearances of Sam Wilson, the wingin'-est, swingin'-est cool cat ever to strap on a set of red mechanical feathers and soar into blazin' two-fisted action! Let's salute Mister Wilson as he temporarily escapes Dennis, that pesky neighbor kid, and instead helps out his erstwhile partner and comic book co-headliner, a little mild-mannered superhero you may have heard of called Captain America. But much like America on the world stage of today, big and bold as he is, Cap can't quite cut the mustard all by his lonesome...

All panels from Captain America and the Falcon #205 (January 1977), written and penciled by Jack Kirby, inked by John Verpoorten, colored by Michele Wolfman, lettered by Jim Novak

Luckily for Steve-O, the Man in Black Red 'n' White is there to pick up the cause of justice and right!:


Like meat and potatoes, like salt and tomatoes, they make the ultimate team...yeah, you heard me, Daredevil and Black Widow!


Wak! Pow! Cap takes the low road and Falc takes the high road, and the baddie'll be in dreamland before ye!


But a fast victory a boring comic makes, and Unca Jack knows better than that! Like Elton John, the villain's still standing, and flashin' his baby blues all over the place!


It's Falcon who comes up with the plan: just like Popeye, go for the eye eye!


Mama always told me not to hit guys with glasses, but lucky that the Falcon's mama always taught him to hit hard and ask questions about ocular wear later!:


And if you think the Falcon gives up after just one punch...well, you got another think comin', pallie! Yes sir!


When the bell rings at the end of the round, you better believe you should bet on the man with the wings: the soaring strength of the mighty Falcon!


Bahlactus hits 'em high and I hit 'em low.
