Puck Part 34: Alpha Flight #38 (September, 1986)


Puck faces old enemies and meets a new teammate (sort of).
I have this issue.
After falling through the ice last issue, Judd returns to the surface and pulls Pestilence into the water. That doesn’t stop the villain, but it does buy the Alphans time to regroup. Pestilence responds by summoning the Great Beasts, who attack. Judd witnesses Shaman don the headpiece of Talisman and banish the Beasts as the new Binder of Spirits. Pestilence escapes, and Judd pilots the team back to their mansion headquarters.
Notes of Interest:
1) We learn that the yoga master that taught Judd to control his breathing and body temperature, a trick he used against The Master in Alpha Flight #16, is Dr Srivinda, an old Hindu.
2) Isn’t that a great shot Judd gives Somon?
3) This is the first time Judd meets Pestilence.
WTF? Moment: I can understand Judd’s ability to lower his body temp and control his breathing, but he’d still be darn cold after being submerged in freezing water and then moving around in the arctic wind…wouldn’t he?
