Feature Comics #21, 1936. the Clock, eventually revealed to be society man and former district attorney Brian O'Brien, wore a three-piece suit, a fedora, and a black full-face mask. The first masked hero of comics dealt with crime using guile and gun and usually left a calling card that bore an image of a clock and the words "The Clock Has Struck."

Ben Dilworth steps in to fill in the gaps and what MADE the Clock -plus a revelation: What happened to O'Brien's look-alike and crime busting companion Pug?

Prepare for violence, harsh language and to ask the question:can there ever really be justice from the barrel of a gun?

    I do like this comic book. I'm making another - shorter - The Clock comic. Most of the art's done. I guess sometime next year I'll send you a copy when I can get the dialogue fully sorted out. Sorry about the change of colour on the previous blog - you mentioned before that changing one thing can bugger up another, just thought you'd want to know. Star Wars - yeah. I bought a few of the Star Wars comics for the art - Empire Strikes Back story adaption. Really nice stuff. The art team also did ( and I'm useing my memory here so forgive me if I'm wrong ) an adaption of Blade Runner. I remember thinking it looked beautiful, but left me feeling somewhat cold - technically brilliant but without a lot of soul - which was perfect for the Blade Runner story. Anyway, I drivel.
    Take it easy.

    Your "Christmas Clock" will go up on CBO on Christmas Eve -or before. I'm spending more time on the AOP site and doing research than on CBO. To be honest the utter two-faced nature of UK comics has made me withdraw more. Sales, incidentally -ZERO. I give up. Not drawn for ages. I could quite happily fade off into research again. "Herr Professor" keeps calling!
