Review/plot:
Power Man, Iron Fist, Daredevil, and Foggy Nelson investigate the dance company where they've heard (from the kid blackmailer in Daredevil #178) that the boss wasn't properly paying for his dancer's medical insurance. They wind up in a series of hijinx-y situations involving Russian KGB agents assigned to prevent the injured dancer's replacement from defecting. The agents' names are Boris...

...and Ninotchka...

...which is guess is better than Boris and Natasha. Like a lot of Power Man & Iron Fist stories from Duffy, it's silly but still fun.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: This should probably occur a little closer to Daredevil #178 but due to the fact that my Daredevil issues are in collected TPB format, that's a little difficult. And it's not really necessary; it's entirely possible it's taken some time for the heroes to have had time to follow up on this particular case. They have been busy.
