Friday Night Fights: Maxim - Round 8: Best Supporting "Cast"!




Any hero needs a good supporting cast, and, as tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Maxim will demonstrate, even a supporting character's cast can sometimes play an important role in crimefighting.


Back before he became either Nightwing or, briefly, Batman, Dick Grayson used to fight crime in briefs and booties as Robin. Back in the 70's, he had a recurring backup strip in Detective Comics, fighting crime as a student at Hudson University in the college town of New Carthage. And he sometimes had his own personal Jim Gordon in the form of New Carthage Police's own Chief McDonald.


Another important point to mention is that the villains Dick faced in these backups were...different. As opposed to facing, say, Two-Face or Ra's al Ghul or the Talons, here he faced such nemeses as... The Parking Lot Bandit.


Or, in the case of tonight's fight, corrupt Hudson officials like University Treasurer Paul Shuster, who attempted to use the Parking Lot Bandit's robbery spree as cover for his own theft of $50,000 (which was worth a lot more back in 1975) from Hudson U by posing as the Bandit and staging a robbery, in the process breaking Chief McDonald's right arm by hurling a file cabinet at him.


Synopsis: Thanks to Robin, Shuster's just been busted. Suffice it to say, he doesn't take it well.




This normally might work, except he's facing someone who's been trained by Batman....




....who, in turn, throws a Batarang past the Chief (who, in case I didn't mention it earlier, has a broken arm) and... 




However, this doesn't stop our tenacious treasurer....







Wait for it....



Wait for it......




And Chief McDonald plasters the bad guy! (Sorry!)


Tonight's collegiate cranking is courtesy of 1975's Detective Comics#451 "The Parking Lot Bandit Strikes Again!" written by Bob Rozakis and illustrated by Al Milgrom and Terry Austin.


Tonight's fight music is a song about plaster casts of a different sort performed by Kiss.
