Phalanx of Phantoms

 

Marc Tyler Nobleman, a Patron of this blog, suggested I have the Phantom Stranger meet The Phantom of  The Opera, and that concept just started snowballing!  With a team this large, I couldn't fit all of the artists used in the labels.  This cover features illustrations by Ross Andru, Jaime Hernandez, Andy Smith, Peter Snejberg, Steve Mitchell, Herb Trimpe and Paul Becton.

With Today being Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) maybe a cover with El Tigre meeting Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi; the two cartoons are similar-looking and both have ethnic references.

I'm not 100% sure. But, wasn't this also a periodic request on the part of either Bob Greenwade and/or Det. Tobor? If so, I thank you on their behalves for fulfilling their requests. A delightful after-Halloween treat, indeed!

Wasn't AmiYumi the J-pop duo who initially narrated "Teen Titans Go"?

Maybe Ross can do that tomorrow for All Souls' Day. November 1 is traditionally All Saints' Day (for saints who don't have an individual feast day already).

@Cary: PuffyAmiYumi also had their own series (produced by Renegade Animation).

@my namesake: "El Tigre" was co-produced by Boulder Media of Ireland and an American outfit called 6PointHarness. So, the similarity could've been coincidence.

Now that’s what I call a Phantom Menace
