SERGEANT STRONG
COLLECTION As his name indicates, there’s nothing subtle about Simon Strong, the astronaut-turned-spy hero of this fourth volume of The Fleetway Files, who’s gifted with super-strength after being caught in a radioactive galactic nebula. The uncredited scripter – most probably M Scott Goodall – cleverly blends elements of James Bond and The Six Million Dollar Man with Get Smart-style humour in the form of Strong’s air-jet shoes, which prevent him from crashing through the floor due to his tremendous weight.
