The Phantom Stranger #26 was the most unusual issue out of the entire run. The Stranger took a key role in the story and actually crossed-over with the backup series, The Spawn of Frankenstein. DC Comics' version of Frankenstein isn't as memorable to me as Marvel Comics take on the character. But I have always loved this cover by Michael Kaluta, featuring the Monster chasing a woman on a ledge decorated with gothic creatures. The simplicity, the angle of the shot, and the Stranger's silhouette are perfect. Happy Halloween! Nuff Said!
Hee, the Phantom Stranger looks like a piece of graffiti. And there's 'the girl in the white nightdress' - I was only just reading about her over at Gorilla Daze ... did you confer? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, we didn't confer, I guess great minds think alike! Thanks dude!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of white space in the cover design.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the colors were by Kaluta or someone else. A pink sky seems weird now.
