INVADERS #16-21 (1977): 1st Union Jack II

The team is captured by Hitler and his Master Man and paraded through the streets in a clear container.

Master Man sounds more like a commie than a Nazi.

Like most issues of this series, there’s not a lot of interesting stuff here–but in #16 we meet “Warrior Woman.” 

Obviously, the name is a reference to DC’s famous WW heroine, but the use of black leathers may have been further reference–conscious similarity to the bondage and domination elements of the Wonder Woman comic.

On the hero side, we get the son of Lord Falsworth, the original Union Jack, who becomes another version of Union Jack.

We also get a lot of facetime with Hitler as one of the main villains.

Issues #20 and 21 are only 15-pages each, followed by old Sub-Mariner reprints.
