Shocking Escape

Simply put, the comic story that goes with Shocking Escape (7338-3) is the most ridiculous in the Adventure Team series.  In it, a hydroelectric dam is assailed by deadly electric eels, and the only way for Joe to deal with the problem involves using a zip line.  This was clearly a case, as I think is true for most of the 1975 sets, of Hasbro shoehorning existing accessories into different configurations to create "new" sets.  This one includes a lightweight polyester jumpsuit with matching grey gloves, not to be confused with the heavier weight gloves from the 1967 Combat Construction set.  There is also a yellow version of the Escape Slide, a belt, the climbing apparatus originally sold with Volcano Jumper now molded in red with a rubber belt, and a hot pink "Danger High Voltage" sign with typography borrowed from  High Voltage Escape.  Image of the tough to find box courtesy of eBay seller dswalters57.  See their auctions here!
