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!

For the third issue the series attempts a two-parter. In the first time itself is turned back and Harvey's original, golden-age heroes and heroines return! The Phantom Sphinx, Captain Freedom, Black Cat, War Nurse, Shock Gibson and Firebrand! The contemporary team is also expanded for this one with guest stars Jigsaw, Captain 3D, Earthman, Pirana and the Man in Black. Yes, the spelling there is right and no, not that Man In Black. This's another one :)

This cover pays homage to Mike Sekowsky's Justice League of America #21.

Original size 11x17

This classic Sekowsky-Anderson cover is a great way to showcase various teams and using the old and New Harvey heroes is inspired.

Great to see my beloved Black Cat featured here.
