Tintin and The Phantom Stranger

 

There's nothing like a crisply detailed mystery to make for an entertaining afternoon of reading.  I'd like to see what kinds of secrets that this pairing could uncover together.

Ben 10 and Dial "H" For Hero

 

I remember looking at issues of Adventure Comics that featured Dial "H" For Hero and considering whether I should submit a hero to DC Comics for consideration.  Mainly I wanted to see one of my made up characters drawn by George Perez on the cover!  Alas, I never did, I guess I didn't want  to risk signing over a potential million dollar concept to DC!  I do wonder how many of the heroes were actually created by fans and how many came from within the DC offices.

Thank you to comics' historian and Patron of this blog, Marc Tyler Nobleman, for suggesting this team-up!

Promethea Enters The House of Mystery

I was glad to see The House of Mystery make an appearance in the Justice League Dark animated feature.  While I thought that having Black Orchid as the embodiment of the house was an interesting spin, I did miss seeing Cain and Abel.  I was hoping they would show up during the run of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but no such luck.  Perhaps they will finally get their chance on Justice League Action.

Promethea and Doctor Strange

I was a big fan of Alan Moore's America's Best Comics line.  Characters like Tom Strong and Jack B. Quick showed a different side of the writer and he was always paired with top notch artists.  Probably my favorite title was Promethea.  What I originally thought would be a Wonder Woman pastiche turned out to be a psychedelic and visually rich study of the power of storytelling.  It's one of those series that I have promised myself that I would go back and read straight through again, I am sure there's lots I missed the first time around.
