EL DIABLO #15

Okay the last El Diablo piece. I promise.

I can't say I was a big El Diablo fan but I have a fondness for it. It came out when I was trying and reading everything DC was putting out. I remember seeing the first cover and thinking it looked cool. It was a good read, street level hero versus street level crime, no Superheros and no supervillains. I'm surprised it lasted 16 issues.

Great early Mike Parobeck art from his first regular series. He would go on to do the short lived but well received 1992 Justice Society of America series and then find critical and commercial success doing Batman Adventures. Unfortunately Mike passed in 1996 at the age of 30!

I bought the last four El Diablo pieces all last year, including this cover. For a title that ran 16 issues there is hardly any art from the series out there. I did have one El Diablo cover prior to that, I bought it mostly because it has the (western) Vigilante on it. you can see it here El Diablo #12.

Glad to have the handful of pieces I have. Cool character from a fun time.
