It's also Chris Blair's (Mark Hamill's character) callsign in the Wing Commander series of video games and I'll leave it at that for fear of summoning Derek Smart Forum users.

I just found out in making the shipping post that Ray Fawkes has a new Fantomah series starting next week. https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/MAR171575 Fantomah. Fletcher 'Stardust: The Super-Wizard" Hanks' Fantomah.   If you're not updating your pull-list right now, you don't know what you're doing.

Yeah, Fantomah could be fun independent of Hanks. She delivers vengeance for nature! But with a skull for a head.

As long as the vengeance is harsh as gently caress and weird like the way Hanks did it it should be cool

Fantomah was actually in Hack/Slash and really fit into all the slasher horror themes.

Fantomah and Stardust are forces of nature. As long as whatever new creator hews to that Wild Whatever, rather than just trying to ape Fletcher Hanks (which can't be done and would feel painfully obvious), they'll be fine. I know I've cheerled the Gumby comics in other threads, but it's the same basic deal: the Gumby comics don't look a thing like the cartoons, but they turned creative minds loose (e.g. Steve Purcell, Art Adams, Bob Burden, Rick Geary, et al) on them and there was that sort of understanding that they'd keep to the spirit of the thing while also making something new. Hell's bells, now I want a Purcell/Adams Stardust comic.

Gaz-L posted:I assume as a villain for Cassie to put down? Nope, Fantomah was trapped in like a soul jar, was used as a MacGuffin and when freed killed some villains and spared Cassie despite having darkness in her soul.

Hack/Slash Meets Re-Animator was the best crossover that series did because it was 100% just Jeffrey Combs.

The only letterer I know by name is Todd Klein, probably because Gaiman and Alan Moore both work with him a lot. Are there other letterers who contribute a lot that I'm missing? They almost seem like good design--done well, it's invisible. But maybe I'm just ignorant of this aspect of comics? The BKV book The Escapists had a character who was a letterer which was insightful if true, since the guy loved copying out books by hand in high school.

Chris Eliopolous (sic, probably) and John Workman are probably two of the better hand letterers. The thing with lettering is you don't really notice it unless it's bad.

Bob Lappan's lettering from the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice Leagues is instantly recognizable to me. His letters are thin and almost a little shaky, adding to the madcap humor of those books.
