Chadwick's first two page spread for Blockbuster was reprinted in Comic Book Artist #9. If you'd like, I can scan the full image and temporarily post a link here. Posting full pages permanently makes me itchy for fear of copyright violation. <br /><br />Sorry about the snide remark about Peacemaker. I always hated heroes with severe psychological disorders, especially when they were a major factor in the hero's motivation. It <i>was</i> neurosis, not a ghost, right? I can't criticize overly much though, as my exposure to your Peacemaker wasn't very detailed (a little Checkmate/the first issue of the mini/Fleming Eclipso/maybe Vigilante?) Also, I only read the original Peacemaker after yours, so I didn't know the guy was inherently reprehensible, potentially warranting the revision. Then again, the sadism might have outsold the benevolent psychopathy.<br /><br />I envy your possession of the Peter Cannon origin. PAM's gorgeous run was my first exposure to Charlton as a child, so I've always had a soft spot. Somebody ought to buy T-Bolt from Morisi's estate and do something with this material.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-66083176456266040532009-09-15T07:39:37.470-05:002009-09-15T07:39:37.470-05:00I forgot all about Paul Chadwick being on Captain ...I forgot all about Paul Chadwick being on Captain Action. I don't recall ever seeing any pages from Paul or Denys on the feature, although I do still have the scripts for the first batch of episodes. (I also have copies of Pete Morisi's unpublished Thunderbolt origin story.)<br /><br />And while the "voices in the helmet" type of schtick may be old (forgive me) hat today, that stuff was still new and fun back in the old days. I remember writing Peacemaker as being demented fun.<br /><br />Paul KupperbergPaul Kupperberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584440406658489657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-11154324830412797092009-09-14T22:10:47.786-05:002009-09-14T22:10:47.786-05:00Very informative and interesting posting.
