Union Jack and Doctor Fate

 

Carlos Pacheco is another artist that we lost far too soon in the past year.  His work on JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice among many other projects was always impressive to behold.  He was able to give each character unique faces and body types and could convey a truly epic  sense of grandeur in his superhero tales.  I also read that we lost the talented Lee Moder this past week as well, also at a young age.  I enjoyed his work for DC comics, particularly with the Legion of Superheroes and Stargirl.  May they both rest in peace.

3 1/2 years and all the loses stay at record levels. New people finally get a break and start making a name for themselves when their health starts to change.
Modern science... Great for creating dragons, not so much for clean up and vaccines that work.. Baby steps? Didn't need baby steps to create a problem did they?

A new tarot card? The Jack of Fate. Multi uses.

I’ve always loved Union Jack. He and Dr. Fate make a great pairing. Another really wonderful cover…. Great job.

I'm afraid I never heard of either gentleman before this. But, I offer my deepest condolences, to their friends and families, just the same.

i had not heard about Lee Moder’s passing R.I.P.
Great Cover, Dr. Fate is one of my Favourites & Union Jack is a strange one as the title is passed on when the old one dies or is murdered ( more usually ) not always to a member of the same family.
a follow up could be Spitfire and Hourman

I hope to someday see a Nelson family reunion (Dr. Fate and Airboy) vs. Lord Misery.

A weird idea just came to mind: future-stranded Jonah Hex, with the original (horse-riding) Ghost Rider.

Bob, see STF #1466-1467

Those two issues have Jonah in his original Western setting. I'm looking to see GR's flaming horse alongside JH's robotic steed.

Failing that, I'd settle for Jonah Hex vs. O'Neal the Six-gun Gorilla!

What about Kent Nelson and (I dream of) Jeannie?

@ My Namesake: Only if Ross uses photo-captures of Pierce Brosnan and Barbara Eden.
