Richie Rich and Casper meet The Spectre

 

Uh oh, this looks like a dilemma that Richie won't be able to spend his way out of!  Let's hope Casper has some connections on the other side to help out!

The Spectre in the Marvel Universe

 

Just how different would things have turned out if this guy showed up on Battleworld during the first Secret Wars?  Who knows, but it certainly would have been fun to read about!

Chuck Norris and The Spectre

 

I was sad to hear of the passing of Chuck Norris this week, he was a true legend among action stars. I hope he rests on peace - but if he wants to do some butt-kicking in the afterlife, I'm all for that as well.

Daredevil & The Black Widow and The Spectre

 

I saw a chance to do a Gene Colan inspired cover and I went for it.  Colan is one of those artists that I did not appreciate as a kid, but now I recognize as one of the best and most unique in the art form.

Daredevil first met The Spectre in STF #3067...

The Defenders and The Spectre

 

These guys are all heroes, but they've all done some shady stuff as well.  Not many heroes would give them pause, but being stared down by the Spectre has got to be an exception!

The Spectre and The Shadow

 

There aren't too many heroes that would make The Shadow nervous, but I think that The Spectre might be one of them.  It would be interesting to see how they interact.

The Spectre and The Vision

Thugs and gangsters never stood much of a chance against these two ultra powerful heroes.  It will take a mystical threat to challenge their combined forces.

 

The Spectre and The Hulk

 

When you have simultaneously ticked off both The Spectre and The Hulk, you know that you have really messed up.  I'd like to see just who has gotten themselves in that predicament and how the vengeance of these heroes plays out.

The Spectre and Young Hellboy

 

The adventures of Superman when he was a boy may have been retconned away, but I am glad that Hellboy's history has stayed intact at least.  It's cool to see the younger version of the BPRD's most famous member.  The Spectre was able to work well with others in his first few years as a hero, so I can see this team up happening.

The Spectre and Sub-Mariner

 

You rarely see Namor intimidated by heroes of the surface world, but I think that working alongside The Spectre might just be an exception to that rule.  It would be interesting to see how these big personalities clash.

The Spectre and Agatha Harkness

 

The trailer for Agatha All Along has dropped, and I'm not sure what to make of it.  While I quite enjoyed Kathryn Hahn's portrayal of  Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, I don't know if she warranted a mini-series of her own.  We'll see if the series gains any traction or if it will be another Echo-style spinoff that is forgotten as soon as it airs.

The Spectre Vs. Red Skull

 

It would be a satisfying read to see The Spectre lay the smack down on The Red Skull.  Still, with the Cube in his possession, the Skull may not go down all that quickly.  I'd like to see how this conflict plays out.

Ebenezer Scrooge and The Spectre

 

Merry Christmas!

I hope all who visit here are spending today with those you love!  It has been another year of great suggestions, kind words and encouragement, all of which I have truly appreciated.  A special thanks goes out to the Patrons, your support has helped keep this blog alive and now marching towards it's 14th year - that means the world to me.  Have a wonderful and blessed day today, everyone!

Fantastic Four and The Spectre in: "Ghost Intervention!"

 

I hope all who celebrate have a great Thanksgiving today, and those visiting STF: The Lost Issues from outside of the US have a great Thursday!

The Spectre has encountered The Fantastic Four previously on this blog.  He passed judgment on Reed Richards in STF #3721, and shared and adventure with the team in The Negative Zone in STF #1046...

The Damned (The Animated Series!)

 

I thought that it was time that one of STF's earliest teams received their own cartoon show.  I'm guessing that this on might have a hard time getting past the network censors, though!  This is the Third appearance of The Damned on this blog - They were last seen facing Satan's retribution in STF #1890, and first appeared way back in STF #176...

The Spectre and X-Factor

 

Jean Grey went from an innocent young mutant to arguably the X-Men's most powerful member.  She committed some terrible acts while under the influence of the Phoenix Force, however. Would the spirit of vengeance find her responsible for those deeds?  Finding out might make for an interesting issue.

Dick Tracy and The Spectre

 

One of the best parts of John Ostrander's 90's Spectre series was the exploration of Jim Corrigan's early years.  I could see Dick Tracy fitting right in with those pre-Spectre tales, so a story like this might not be as far fetched as it might initially seem.  I'd read it, anyway.

Godzilla Vs. The Spectre

 

I used to get a kick out of the fact that despite having such incredible magical abilities, The Spectre would sometimes choose to just grow huge and start walloping the bad guys.  And what better combatant than the King of All Monsters himself? This issue would call for some nice two-page splashes.

Howard The Duck and The Spectre

 

Sharp eyed viewers glimpsed Howard The Duck showing up with all the returning heroes in the finale of Avengers: Endgame.  He wasn't at Tony Stark's funeral, so where did he go from there.  Did he return to space with The Ravagers, possibly setting up an appearance in the third Guardians of the Galaxy film?  Perhaps he stayed on Earth to begin some adventures there.  The point is, he could really show up anywhere now, so where would you like to see him?  I wouldn't mind seeing him and She-Hulk get involved in a case together at some point.

The Spectre Vs. The Beyonder

 

It's years away and not even the next Avengers movie on the schedule, but Avengers: Secret Wars already has plenty of rumors swirling around it.  Will the Russo Brothers return to direct, or will Ryan Coogler be tapped for that job?  Will we see the return of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans?  What about appearances by Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Edward Norton, and other actors that have played Marvel heroes before?  Will the movies ending re-set the MCU completely for the phase to follow?  Will the Beyonder appear, and if so, who will play him? I think there will be plenty of speculation about all of this for while to come, but I'm not expecting answers any time soon.
