Description

One of the many attempts to jump on the bandwagon that was Marvel's success in the 60's, Harvey comics introduced a (short-lived) new line of super heroes of their own. None took off and the whole thing disappeared fairly quickly but the characters themselves were ~gloriously~ crazy 60's :) I remember mentioning in the thing I wrote for the Crisis piece there've been any number of characters that I've wanted to "do something" with but could never think of what. It wasn't until the last couple of years that I read some random Harvey issue where they'd hyped these new heroes as "The New Champions!" going so far as to give the words a separate font. Soon as I saw that I knew how to work it. After all the solo series had come out Harvey would've released their new Avengers-like series: The NEW Champons! featuring their biggest (well, you know) stars! Spyman, Jack Q. Frost, the Glowing Gladiator, Bee-Man and Magicmaster!

In thinking about who to ask Dann was the perfect fit, I think, to capture style but bring it up to date. Chris is always the go-to for me for this kinda thing. Not to knock Dann in any way -at all- but Chris is such a great guy to work with. Aces to both for this set of imaginary covers!

In this second issue / cover things go haywire when team genie Magicmaster goes crazy! Who's causing it? Or has the genie of good just lost it? With guest appearances from Jigsaw (Mr. Fantastiplastic) , the MAN FROM SRAM (oh he of the voluminous trench coat) and Earthman (Flash Gordon by way of Superman - don't ask)!

This cover pays homage to Jerry Ordway's All-Star Squadron #28.

Original size 11x17

Outstanding commission! Love seeing Magicmaster in the Spectre role. Who's the guy in the lower right? I want to read this series!

The moment I read his ~secret origin~ as a genie I got who Magicmaster "was".

And I did forget someone, didn't I. I'll fix that ! (hint - it's Earthman)

Outstanding second issue! Besides Dann's incredible art, Chris really put in gear making this cover quality! No surprise that he is my cover guru too! Man, I love this stuff!
