Review/plot:
Arabian Knight fights a guy called Sandstorm.
He's a soldier that thinks he was affected by chemical weapons during the Gulf War.
Arabian Knight teaches him that not all Arabs are bad. Just most of them, based on the guys behind him.
Then the Arabian Knight goes home to his many wives.
The wives seem safe and sound after dying in Marvel Comics Presents #47 and then being held hostage circa Uncanny X-Men annual #15.

Comments
Good lord... I'd say what I really think about this story, but that would take to many profanities.
Why do we still give Herge a hard time for 80-year-old Tintin stories? Because it takes our mind off stuff a lot closer to home.
I wonder if a story like this is done to hold onto a copyright or something. I can't imagine someone actually wanted to write a throwaway story about a throwaway character like Arabian Knight.
Who says he couldn't just get more wives when the old ones got killed off?
Should we be making fun of just the story? Or should we be making fun of the practice as well?
