The Creeper and The Beast in: "Party Crashers!"

 

I paired these two together back in STF #1086, and I thought it was time they made a return appearance together.  Being able to use George Perez artwork for both was an added incentive.

This is a fun cover that practically writes the story by itself. The mutant scientist and the reporter (where is Kolchak?). Ryder does more for McCoy than Bobby and many of the other heroes, even in the Avengers.
Is Jack still a reporter? With the reality shifts DC does, it's hard to keep track sometimes.

I can just imagine those unseen gunmen having been hired by the resurgent Brand Corporation. Perhaps even as a front for Advanced Idea Mechanics Just curious, though. Which DC artist, in your personal opinion, used close-ups of gun barrels, as cover art, most often? Because you do seem to have an abundant supply of such image captures! Making me speculate it might have been somebody's trademark during the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties.

It's just a common cover trope. Joe Kubert used it a lot on his war comics cover art.

The changing of professor beast to animal beast was one of the best makeovers in comics. Great combo for I loved George Perez's art. I also like the blue logo rather than red logo used in previous pairup.

Not just the same artist, but identical facial expressions and even very similar poses. I think I'm ready for Access to come along and Amalgamate these two. (Hypothetically, of course; I don't at all expect it to happen here!)

Speaking of Amalgamated characters, I hope we haven't seen the last of Iron Beetle. He might, for example, need the Stark Tech enhancements to deal with some Xenomorphs.

oh my stars and garters!

BTW. Detective Tobor, Jack is still a reporter, at least in Tom King's Danger Street.

Another great cover. Magnificent piece of work! Well done. How about Hellcat and Crimson Fox meet up at some point…?

@my namesake: didn't those particular twins get killed off?

They were. But, there's a third one who claims to have inherited their perfumery-based fortune. Officially, her exact identity is still unrevealed. But, personally? I think the D'Aramis Sisters were triplets! With, perhaps, their parents' marriage breaking up while they were still infants. Leading to the mother running off with the third sister in defiance of the courts awarding full custody of all three to their plutocratic father.

@Anon1229: That theory works for me. :-)

So basically, another version of the Parent Trap?

@BenW: Only when compared to the made-for-TV sequels starring the Creel sisters.
