BLACK CONDOR #2

Digging deeper into the DCU.


In 1992 Rags Morales co-created and pencilled a revised Black Condor series for DC comics.

I saw the cover to #1 and I was hooked. Love that cover. Rags Morales was new to the scene and I enjoyed his art. I really liked this series but the series only lasted 12 issues and when it ended I wanted more. Never happened, he appeared in Justice League for a bit but that was about it.

Rags went on to fame and fortune doing Hawkman and Identity Crises and the New 52 Superman. I had always wanted the cover to Black Condor #1, but I've never seen it for sale or any other Black Condor art for that matter. Fellow CAFer Greg McKee has a great collection of Black Condor art. You can see it here Rags Morales' Black Condor art. I've always been envious of his pages.

For a title that didn't sell well and I'm sure has very few fans, pages don't come up for sale.

Then in 2020, a fellow on eBay was putting up early Morales art for sale. It included unpublished and published pieces and Black Condor art. Jackpot! After years of wanting Black Condor art I was super excited to finally get some.
