The Boys from Derby: "Brides for Sale!" by Gill and Sattler

HiiiiYA, Groove-ophiles! Today we're gonna rap a little bit about the ninth issue of Charlton's Yang, which hit the spinner-racks way back in June, 1975. This issue delves into some really deep water, with women being sold into slavery and then trained in the martial arts to rise up against their oppressors. A kung-fu western Yang may have been, but t'was a product of its time, too, as this tale will tell. Also of interest is the ending, which is used to alert readers that a Yang spin-off, namely, House of Yang, existed (HoY debuted in April). All this and product placement, too? Here's "Brides for Sale!" by Joe Gill and Warren Sattler...

The Boys from Derby: "Yang the Slave" and "Yang Meets Yin" by Gill and Sattler

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoooooooooaaaaaaa! In another my a long string of fixing up Ol' Groove's "Why the heck did I do that?" moments, we're opening the Files of the Far Out to (at long, LONG last) bring you...Yang #1 (September 1973) by Joe Gill and Warren Sattler! We've read and rapped about Yang many times, but yers trooly is only just now getting 'round to share the very first ish with ya! What brought this on, you might ask? Well, I don't know about you, but Ol' Groove is thrilled beyond thrilled that Yang has returned via Charlton-Neo's Pix-C online comics strips! Written by Roger (Daredevil, Captain America, and lots more) McKenzie with art by Ben (Big Bang Comics) Torres, Yang is but one (but whatta one!) of over a dozen incredible, far-out, groovy, and oh-so-cool online comics on Pix-C! If you haven't subscribed to Pix-C via Patreon, you don't know what you're missing--and that's no jive! (And no, Rog, Mort, nor any of the other Charlton-Neo gang paid Ol' Groove to do this post--they're just THAT GOOD, baby! Trust Ol' Groove!) Now, on with Yang!!
