AT THE HELM
thoughts on superheroes, writing and the world
Obscure Heroes: Shadowdragon
I like the weird and the wild of superhero characters. Sometimes certain figures never quite get the due I think they deserve. Obscure Heroes is all about celebrating those characters and maybe even what could have been with them.
Bringing Airboy into the future
He certainly isn’t a character that went without a revival in the 1980s. Chuck Dixon and Tim Truman created a rather amazing series at Eclipse (now being collected by IDW) with art by the likes of Stan Woch, Ben Dunn, Ron Randall and Tom Lyle. But that series didn’t tell the story of the original Airboy.
