Speaking of features that were on a bit of a hiatus due to my busy schedule, this week marks the return of 7 Covers! Yay!
I’m going to do a few of these based on The Spectre, one of those old DC characters that’s been featured in his own solo title at least 4 times, plus numerous limited series. I totally dig this character, from the simple costume, to the high concept, to the omnipotent powers that really challenge a writer. Anyway, this week I’m featuring 7 covers from the 1987 Spectre series:
Artists, left-to-right, top-to-bottom: Chris Wozniak, Charles Vess, Mike Mignola, Michael William Kaluta, Tom Artis, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Jerry Bingham.
I really dug the earliest issues of this series; interior art by Gene Colan, if memory serves.
“Omnipotent powers that really challenge a writer” is right.
Best description I ever heard about the Spectre is he’s “more of a plot device than a character.”
