their masters. When the President is replaced, Cramden begins to suspect and calls in Derek Flint to solve the problem. Comics In 2011 Moonstone Books released That Man Flint, a one-shot comic written by Gary Phillips and drawn by Kevin Jones. Its synopsis read: Mods, mini-skirts and Vietnam. Paisley shirts and satellites. Afros and lasers. The Cold War is hot and the Red Chinese aren't the only ones doing the brainwashing. Love is in the air, but everyone isn't groovy. Derek Flint, inventor, ballet instructor, editor and contributor of the revised Kama Sutra, transcendentalist and translator of an ancient Mayan cookbook, seeker of the third eye and freelance spy, is the one M.A.C.E. (Mandated Actions for Covert Enforcement) calls on to tackle their most perilous assignments. From crazed Nazi scientists hatching dastardly plans, sultry Russian spies with killer bodies and kung fu grips, super strength cyborg assassins, to fiendish henchmen and quixotic masterminds, these are examples of adversaries mystery writer Gary Phillips (Operator 5 and Decimator Smith) will throw at the cool, collected Mr. Flint. With his gadgets and skills, aided by his quartet of brainy glamour gals, That Man Flint is a retro revisionist series capturing the fun, feel and excitement of halcyon espionage fare such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Bond in Goldfinger, and Steranko's Nick Fury for today's audience. In popular culture In the movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, the main character Austin Powers (while being on honeymoon with his new wife Vanessa Kensington) switches on the television to a scene from In Like Flint. He mentions to Vanessa that it is his favorite movie. Also, in all three Austin Powers movies, the Emergency Red Telephone ring was a variation on the Flint films' Presidential Red Telephone ring. The emblem of the Galaxy organization, which was composed of crossed ellipses with a "G" in the middle and appeared on the uniforms of its members, was reused for those of the civilian aerospace transport firm of Land of the Giants, after rotating it ninety degrees clockwise. Derek Flint is mentioned in the Beastie Boys song "Grasshopper Unit" from Hello Nasty.
