Golgo 13/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Despite some Unfortunate Implications, Golgo 13 has a rather notable one in the story "The Dark-Skinned Sniper". Duke Togo's target du jour is a corrupt politician in the Deep South. As part of a very intricate plan to get close to his target, Duke has taken a drug that darkens his skin color so that he can pass as black while staying with a cell of the Black Panthers organization (and catching up on his tanning). A group of cops raid the Panthers' shack, march everyone outside, and force them to strip at gunpoint so they can identify Golgo by his tanlines. Togo strips and stands up... and the cops glance at his crotch before mutually yelling, "Huh?!?" The other Panthers comment "Now he's a dark-skinned man all over! Do you see that!" "Kinda hard not to notice, actually." (For the record: The intimidated confused cops take them all in to the station, which gets Duke in range of his target.)
