Iceman was a no brainer with all the Mr. Freeze related covers to work from. As it happens, I am a big fan of the character so I was happy to work on this one. He has such a pure and simple look and concept, it was easy for me as a kid to get into his stories and imagine myself in his adventures during some of those cold New England winter weekends.
Iceman gained a little more notoriety with his inclusion in the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends cartoon back the early 80's. There's another reason that I was a fan of the character - that show was appointment television for me. As cheesy as it was, it was still the best you could get for animated superheroes at the time.
I liked on the show how he could change into his ice form. He was normal when he created a block of ice and then would burst out as Iceman. I don't remember him doing that in the comic books. They should have put that in there.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered if people got hit buy the big chunks of ice that went flying when he did that.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Amazing Friends, too. Very fun series.
