In Savage Sword of Conan #97, the Leopard-themed villain is defeated when Conan blinds him... using the reflection of the moon on an ordinary coin! Have you ever seen moonlight reflected on a coin? AAAAARGH! THE PAIN! THE LIGHT IS BLINDING MEEEEEEE!!!

AAAAARGH! THE PAIN! THE LIGHT IS BLINDING MEEEEEEE!!! Is the type of thing that happened after Roy left? Fleisher wrote this? This is truly awful.

Yes, commond, that's pretty much par for the course for Fleisher's Conan. At best we'd get light-hearted adventuring, at worst we'd get... that. As a Conan fan, I wasn't sorry to see Fleisher move on to greener pastures.

Hal Jordan slips on a bar a soap. I thought his ring protects him .

I may look at the story later to make sure, but I think Batgirl eventually overcomes the wig and defeats the real villain, which turns out to be a hat box.

Batgirl gets defeated by a run in her tights. Either (a) sexist (b) stupid (c) sexist and stupid.

I was going to say that those Hyrkanian reales were known for their brilliance, and were often carried into battle for just such an occasion as this. But your reasoning is even better! No-prizes all around!

Where was the editor? He was coming up with the idea for this cover. The story inside is one of the most entertaining tales of the “New Look” era.

Hal Jordan slips on a bar a soap. I thought his ring protects him . I like how the ring assesses Hal's injury as minor. Clearly this was before the days of CTE research. Speaking of which, has anyone done a story yet about the dangers of superhero concussions?
