Heroes, Inc. Presents Cannon

    (Armed Services, 1969)
™ and ©1969 Armed Services Distribution

This anthology series was published during the Vietnam War for American soldiers, edited and drawn by comics legend Wally Wood, with work by other famous contributors such as Steve Ditko.

The dubious highlight of the series, Cannon presents the story of an ex-P.O.W., brainwashed by Communists, who after reprogramming is a man with no emotions. The unstoppable Cannon can destroy an entire Communist base single-handedly, while saving a kidnapped woman, and protecting American military secrets.

“The Misfits” tells the tale of three bizarre creatures, a beautiful android woman, a furry telepathic alien, and a huge, dimwitted mutant, who together turn out to be mankind’s only hope against an alien bent on strip-mining the Earth.

Finally, in the humorous “Dragonella,” an infant girl is abandoned in the woods and raised by dragons. When she blooms into a young woman, Dragonella and her jealous dragon companion St. George, go in search of a prince.
