Ragman and Morbius

 

Pat Broderick was an underrated artist.  I was already a fan of his when Fury of Firestorm #1 hit the stands and really blew me away.  Nobody has ever been able to illustrate DC's nuclear hero as well as he looked in those early issues.  Broderick also really impressed we with his work on the Ragman maxi-series, where he used the traditional 9-panel grid comics format to great effect.

Was that before or after Rory Regan became supernaturalized as the sartorial equivalent of a golem?

@Ross: maybe that could be your next tribute to Pat Broderick. Ronnie Raymond teams up with SHIELD's kick-butt director in...

"Fury & Firestorm!"

I was about to put up a request for a Broderick Firestorm, and Cary picked out the ideal partner.

Underutilized on Arrow as well as the comics. Ragman was almost like a human(e) Spectre.

Nice one! A future cover idea:There is a Werewolf By Night villain called The Tatterdemalion. He would be a perfect adversary for Ragman.

I remember when Ragman said "It's Raggin' time!" and proceeded to Rag all over.

Sorry, Morbius meme.
