...mocking comic conventions. Besides the lessons learned in the Sidekick’s “Hero Support” classes, we are treated to some full out “Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers”-style fighting between The Commander and Jetstream and a giant metal robot, as well as some very Morphin’-style villains plotting their next move...

But the interior of his wooden cottage, perched on the rainforest-covered heights above Wewak, confirms his fascination with tribal objects. Eerie hook-nosed masks and giant carvings cover the walls. Twenty years a dealer, Stuttgen defends the sale of skulls, saying, "It is a victimless crime. I was just trying to help the (local) people. They brought them here. I just helped them mail them," he says. The skulls were not genuine but imitations, he insists...
