Friday Night Fights: Hands Of Stone - Round 3: Sterankodelic!

Tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Hands Of Stone, I thought I'd expand your consciousness with some late-60's comic book psychedelia, courtesy of this Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D. #5 story titled "Whatever Happened To Scorpio?", written and drawn by the wondrous Jim Steranko and inked by John Tartaglione, featuring a final showdown between Nick Fury and the aforementioned zodiac-themed villain.


Synopsis: Nick goes out to investigate a possible trouble spot.

The fight music for tonight's psychedelic slugfest is this equally hallucinogenic video by MGMT.
