Second crimson Avenger story from Detective 21. It would be nice for DC to bring him back in TEC as a backup story after Batman again!

(thumbs u Thanks for posting.

[Yannis]

Love them, thank you for liking it. Will put up some more in a few days.

[Scrooge]

Thanks for the pics.

 

The Crimson Avenger made an appearance in the Sandman Mystery Theatre during the arc at the World Fair IIRC.

[HouseofComics.Com]

Definitely at least one appearance in Detective in the 1977-1982 timeframe too. (Zonker would know.)

[Yannis]

You should check out The mini series of the Crimson Avenger from the 80s and issue number 5 from Secret Origins from the 80s. Thats the last I heard of him. Are there any other issues of him after? I dont know.

[sakaridis]

I think he also appeared in the weekly series Countdown, in the "History Of The Multiverse" back-up.

 

According to the Grand Comics Database, he also appeared in JLA: Year One, but even though I've read this series, I can't whether this is true or not.

 

I sorta remember his story from Secret Origins #5 being pretty good, though I admit it's been a while since I last read it.

One of these even had a reproduction of the Detective 22 cover (on the interior of the book with a bio), got to look it up again.

Drawing a blank on that one...

 

I do know DC ret-conned Crimson as a spandex-wearing crimefighter as part of the Seven Soldiers of Victory. That group got a revival in the 1970s with the JLA, including Crimson Avenger and Wing. But I think it was Roy Thomas in the 1980s who gave Crimson back his original mystery-man look, in either the miniseries or Secret Origins or maybe All-Star Squadron originally.

[Yannis]

man I forgot about the Seven soldiers of Victory. Yea The same happened to the Sandman who was changed to a superhero way back. Personally I like the Detective looking Sandman and Crimson Avenger better. More myterious.

[Yannis]

I hope they bring back the Crimson. And give the Sandman his own title, very Detective style, what he originally was before JSA.

Then I hope you're aware of Sandman Mystery Theatre, which is exactly that: 1930s Manhattan with Wes Dodds and Dian Belmont fighting crime. Artist Guy Davis has a style perfectly suited to this period. Scrooge mentioned this series earlier in this thread. I remember they also had guest appearances by Hourman and Starman.

 

Of course, Sandman Mystery Theatre is a Vertigo title (created in the 1990s to cash in on the Gaiman Sandman name recognition), so it might not be your cup of tea (bad language, sex, some twisted violence if I recall rightly).

[Yannis]

Wasnt sure about that one. So many old great characters in limbo. It is about time. Love this whole JSA thing they are doing now. It was overdo!

[Miraclo]

I would highly, highly recommend Mystery Theatre to anyone who enjoys the early Sandman Adventures. I always felt they ruined a fantastic concept and character when they gave him a costume and a kid sidekick.

[Yannis]

Ill look into it. Yea, I liked the Original Sandman costume better as well.
