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

DeleteMaybe 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).
Delete@Cary: PuffyAmiYumi also had their own series (produced by Renegade Animation).
Delete@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.
Sorry for the too late suggestion.
DeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteProbably, I've received a few requests for a team like this.
DeleteI don't think I've ever requested a team of a bunch of Phantoms, Cary; I have had the idea of a team featuring Captain Avenger, the Crimson Avenger, the Toxic Avenger, et al... though a name for such a group........?
DeleteHow about...the Wanna-B Team?
DeleteNow that’s what I call a Phantom Menace
ReplyDeleteGOOD ONE! :-)
DeleteThanks Ross! I'm sure already in the works is a sequel in the Phantom Zone.
ReplyDeleteThat's just excellent.
ReplyDeleteThe Phantom Blot had better beware!
ReplyDeleteThe Phantom Rider? sounds more like a 40's Republic Movie Serial.
ReplyDeleteThat's what Marvel renamed their Silver Age Western Ghost Rider after Johnny Blaze came on the scene in the early 1970's.
DeleteMy fave The Phantom Of The Fair didn't make the cut? For shame!
ReplyDeleteAlso The Phantom Feline A.K.A. Boo (The Funky Phantom's pet) didn't make the cut either? Double shame!!
Maybe 4 members can meet Casper, Spooky, Nightmare (the ghost horse) & the Ghostly Trio on a future cover along with new members Boo The Phantom Feline & the Phantom Of The Fair.
