DescriptionA beautiful example of Marshall Rogers' work at his peak . . . and how you can sometimes like a page the more you learn about it.Part of a trade with a fellow CAF collector, I had no idea that this issue shared the same publication date as the iconic Steve Englehart and Rogers Detective Comics #475 “Laughing Fish" issue, or that writer "John Harkness" WAS actually Englehart. I would to think Rogers had this page on his drawing board at the same time as those Detective Comics pages. According to his blog linked below, Englehart was unhappy with his rushed work on the issue so he used a pseudonym. Having just re-read the story, I can understand why, however Englehart absolutely nailed the idea of having a drone with camera. Part of the infamous DC explosion, this short 7 issue run picked up three years after Jack Kirby’s run ended with #18 in 1974. These 7 issues featured four with art by Rogers and three by Michael Golden. Signed by Mr. Rogers in 1991. Englehart explains the pseudonym: https://www.steveenglehart.com/Comics/Mister%20Miracle%2019-22.html Social/Sharing |

If anyone could make Oberon compelling, it'd have to be either Kirby or Rogers! It's a great modern spin with the artwork that made it cutting edge for the Star Wars crowd that demanded sleek designs that sparked the imaginations of a generation.

When I was first hitting the three-for-a-dollar bins, it was Bernie Wrightson and Mike Kaluta House of Mystery comic covers that grabbed my eye and became my first favorites. But the Joker Fish stories in Detective set me off on a massive Marshall Rogers quest and he was definitely my favorite interior artist in comics for years -especially that 1970s DC work, which seems to have established the industry standard that saw a high-water mark with Byrne's X-Men run in the late 70s.
This page is from the 4th issue in the Englehart-Rogers run, and released the same month (Feb 1978) as X-Men #109. Rogers Detecetive run began in December 1976, and seems plausible that would have been a contemporary influence on Byrne - if not on his X-Men, certainly his Alpha Flight.
This is a beauty.

I recall the Joker Fish issue turning me onto Rogers, then finding the Mister Miracle issues as a result. After this issue, Golden pencilled the last three. The first one he did looked nothing like peak Golden, but the next two were great. Keeping an eye out for one of those. Good observation about Byrne.
