Dial "H" For Hero and Madrox (as 4 Famous Co-Stars!)
When Comics' Legend Tony Isabella (also a Patron of this blog), suggested a cover featuring Jamie Madrox using his duplicates to create an army of heroes to take on a larger threat, I wasn't sure quite how I would be able to pull it off. It was such a fun concept that I had to try, though. Four heroes isn't an army, but at least it's a start. Thanks, Tony!

Tony is GREAT!! This idea is Tremendous!! You can see the wheels still turning!!
I love the thinking behind this cover!
It's not an idea I'd have thought of (I didn't even know who Madrox was, off the top of my head), but I love the elemental theme. And it's ironic I see this now, when I'm reading Luke Cage comics (some of which were written by Tony Isabella).
I don't know how many more marvel comics I'll get to, but I plan to at least read Howard the Duck after Luke Cage. And if anyone's interested, i can share how much i've read. Because from (roughly) January to now, I've read quite a lot.
Oh! And some more ideas: Bob Hope and Millie the Model! They were both stars of DC and Marvel humour comics! I read some of their stuff, because I was curious. Shockingly, it's not bad. So i could see a tribute to the old 60s humour comics with them.
And I still think Sugar and Spike need more covers. I never read much of their stuff, but they're adorable. I have a soft spot for them just based on cuteness and charm alone.
Take Hydro-Man out of the equation, and Robby would have the makings of a decent R&B band.
And speaking of classic-era humor comics, I'd still love to see Gomer Pyle with the original Captain Marvel, especially if you can find a Fawcett-era image of the latter. ("Shazam!" *BOOM* It's Gomer Marvel!)
I am (almost) speechless over the magnitude of this one.
It instantly makes me wonder how Dial M-for-Madrox would do against the Totalitarians! But, in any event, thank you, Mr. Isabella, for this brilliant suggestion. And, thank you, Ross, for implementing it just as brilliantly.
just Brilliant !
Love it… such a clever idea and so much work to make it balance.
i just have one question: is that the Golden Age Hydroman (nee Robert Blake)?
This is Tony's idea? Not surprising, it's crazy brilliant!
What Anon 1202 said. :-)
I would read this story in a heartbeat, what a cool concept! I waa always a fan of the original "Dial H".
Why Geo-Force and not Swamp Thing since he is the earth elemental?
^ I agree about Swampy being first in line for the title. Also, no female elementals at all? I'd think Mera would be a nicer more honorable water version than the evil Hydro-Man. I thought the H dials could make you literally anyone male, female or in-between. The possibilities were supposed to be endless.
Perhaps because the H Dials were invented by DC when it was still non-PC.
