Celebrating Artist Jeff Butler

Celebrating the birthday of artist Jeff Butler (February 26, 1958) with his covers to the 1993 3 issue mini-series for Green Hornet: Dark Tomorrow.


Now Comics had the rights to Green Hornet, linking the radio and TV versions, as well as having a modern version, and this version, set in a dystopian future where this Green Hornet, a Clayton Reid, is really a bad guy, facing off against a heroic Luke Kato.


Green Hornet: Dark Tomorrow #1 and #2 (June and July, 1993)

Celebrating Artist Greg LaRocque

Celebrating the birthday of artist Greg LaRocque (February 24, 1954), with a couple of his covers for the Legion of Super-Heroes...#17, December, 1985, sort of a last normal day for the kids of the 30th Century, to be followed by #18, January, 1986, where freeing the time traveling villain, the Infinite Man, allowed the effects of the Crisis On Infinite Earths to start to seep into the Legion's time.

The Wedding Of Dracula

 

To be fair, weddings aren't usually what you think of when you think of Dracula, but here it is.


The Wedding of Dracula came out cover dated January, 1993, and reprinted Tomb Of Dracula #45 and #46 (June and July, 1976) by Marv Wolfman, Gene Colan and Tom Palmer, wherein, after a pre-show with Blade facing Hannibal King, Dracula wed Domini (and faced the Faceless Man).  Domini then appeared on and off until the end of the Tomb of Dracula series.

Remembering Artist Curt Swan

Remembering artist Curt Swan on his birthday (February 17, 1920 - June 17, 1996) with a couple of his all too rare covers for Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane (#78 and #80, of October, 1967 and January, 1968)....though these two covers don't necessarily show that Superman and Lois were in a good place at the time.
