I got a message on Face Book from someone who asked if, as I say, Marvel and DC comics are so dead to me, which characters would I like to work on?
He had to ask???
Firstly, The Mighty Crusaders. The 1960s/1980s team. A core membership but with visiting members such as The Fox, et al. There MUST be some way of getting permission to use The Fly -I mean, come on: we are not talking Middle East peace negotiations here.
Oh, and, yes, I have a few twists that would bring in the current newbie heroes. But, let's face it, that is never ever going to happen.
That said, the other all time, short-lived favourites of mine are the 1970s Atlas-Seaboard characters such as The Tarantula, Phoenix, Grim Ghost and, naturally, The Brute!
I have put together and submitted several proposals in the last 20 years but not even a "get lost!" The more recent Atlas resurrection was....not great. Let's not go into that here.
Again, there must be a way to gather all those characters together again -as with the 1980s Mighty Crusaders, Rich Buckler was also involved at Atlas.
And, no, I will not go into details -we're talking comics here: industry of a thousand stolen ideas ("ideas can't be copyrighted" as one editor told me when a story I'd verbally outlined was stolen...by him!). The ideas swish and swash about in my head where they will stay -unless I adapt them for Black Tower using my characters.
Hey, I look at it this way -they are missing out, not me. PLEEEEASE!
Now I'm going to go over my once heady storylines.
hhhh
