DJ's Den

[Deaths Jester]

Two more villains down, leaving one hero and one villain till returning to retirement. (Big pictures follow as usual)

First up from MLJ Comics, is the Black Knight.  He fought Steel Sterling in Zip Comics #1 and was believed dead in Zip Comics #2 but....he would reappear using different code names twice - once as Dr Yar and once a the Radium King.  Both times he reverted back to the Black Knight name once Steel confronted him.

Next, is the Black Puma who faced off against Magno and Davey in Ace Comics' Four Favorites once.

Also there is a running gag in both of these characters, they have black in their names but wear almost no black.

These are excellent and a fine tribute to Daglob, Sorry to hear you're retiring again, but thanks for the new, obscure heroes and villains.

Those are some fantastic skins DJ, I especially like the Black Puma. I've never heard of that character before, but the skin is superb. I like the face, but I love the clothes. Great skin!

[Podmark]

These are all great. Really nice to see you skinning again.

Final two of the collection and as usual large pics.

First up is the heroic Major Victory from Chesler Publications as he first appeared in Dynamic Comics:

Awesome stuff, DJ! It's really neat seeing these obscure characters done so well.

Any chance of seeing them released?

[Deaths Jester]

They've already been sent to 'mato for releasing.  When he gets a chance to get them up, he'll do just that.

[spydermann93]

Awesome!!

[Tomato]

I make no promises that'll be today (depends how late the jackals keep me here) but i can confirm the files to do so are on my computer at home

[WyldFyre]

Never having read about Major Victory, I can only assume he was a reluctant or very morose hero. He looks so depressed.

I literally laughed out loud at Anti-Shock Gibson. I guess he needed to be associated with Nazis.

Your face work is inspiring. I know Bill would have loved them.

Thank you.

[windblown]

Sorry to hear that you're going back to retirement, I enjoyed this tribute to Daglob. Great skins of those obscure characters.

[Podmark]

Oh yeah! I forgot about your new home! Yay!

[Tomato]

DJ's stuff is uploaded BTW. In case anyone was wondering when I'd get around to it.

[BentonGrey]

I've posted on all of these on the Discord, but it bears repeating.  Your work is gorgeous, man, and I'm loving all of these guys!

[UnkoMan]

This whole batch of Golden Age goodness was so sweet, DJ! I love them.
The look of those old heroes is so sort of bizarre and great, and you've captured that perfectly. Your use of these pale colours gives them this sort of creepy menace... Well, that's what I see anyhow, ha ha.
Dope as heck! Thanks for the work!
