Carol Danvers’ second incarnation (see yesterday’s post), after Rogue wiped her mind and powers, designed by the late, great Dave Cockrum. That guy was the king of sleek modern superhero costume design, and there’s never been anyone that’s come close. Too bad he is gone, and particularly too bad when DC needed him the most.

219 – Shade The Changing Man
I’ve gushed about Shade the Changing Man before, so I’m not gonna repeat myself here. I wish this drawing had turned out better, and he certainly deserves better than being depicted as a hipster. I will say that I got turned onto Shade by my friend Bruce, and we loved the book so much we …
217 – Billy the Kid & Jeffrey, the Miniature Boy
A few months back, over at Gutter Trash, we reviewed Eric Powell & Kyle Hotz’ Billy the Kid’s Old-Timey Oddities. I went into the book pretty much knowing I was going to love it. I’m a huge fan of both Eric Powell and Kyle Hotz – a resident of Dayton, Ohio no less. My friend …

215 – Parallax

214 – Huntress
Let’s see if Jim Lee made this character even more ridiculously slutty looking in the DCnU.
213 – Firestorm
I totally didn’t mean to have to posts in a row with guys with their heads on fire. Firestorm was the first non A-List character I ever really glommed onto. I loved him on Superpowers, and it was one of the first comic character action figure I ever had that wasn’t Superman, Batman, Spider-Man or …
212 – Flaming Carrot
A request for my friend Jason, Bob Burden’s Flaming Carrot is a favorite comic character of his. I don’t know much of anything about him, other than he is a member of The Mystery Men, a movie that has not held up on repeated viewing, and a trade paperback worth of comics I own but …
