TWELFTH & FINAL PART OF THE INCREDIBLE TRI-MAN...

Well, it's the end of the road for TRI-MAN, SMASH! fans, as we

present the final two episodes of his weekly adventures.  After imitating

the SPIDER-MAN formula for most of its run, the strip now seemed to

be borrowing an element from SUPERMAN, with TODD BLACKER

determined to prove JOHNNY SMALL's superhero alias, much like

LOIS LANE trying to expose CLARK KENT's real identity.

However, it never happened!  Tri-Man was only seen once more in

the pages of the Smash! Annual for 1971 (on sale in 1970), in a RON

TURNER-illustrated tale which, in all likelihood, had been completed

before the superhero's final weekly story recounting Todd's discovery

of JM's secret.  You can read that full-colour Annual adventure by
