Defenders #45 (1977)

It’s a Defenders Gender Battle as the Red Rajah saga comes to close! Doctor Strange, all red-gemmed up as the Red Rajah, wants mankind as his universal think tank and he’s starting with Manhattan. He’s got the boy Defenders under his control so its up to the girl Defenders to save NYC (and humanity pretty much).

Also, Red Guardian goes full Gwen Stefani with her outfit, Hellcat and Valkyrie dish about communism, the Hulk rocks out to Pearl Jam and the Marvel editors shout out 2112-era Rush!

All this plus Jen and Shawn chat haphazardly about the Oscars and review the 1986 sleepy monkey thriller LINK.
