Tri-Color Brian Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 And here's a title that doesn't get much love around here, unless it's a really early issue...but i like this cover. Question: Why does Midnight look exactly like the Spirit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This has to be one of the worst Superboy covers, but for only a buck in 1969 I couldn't turn it down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Midnight was a deliberate imitation of the Spirit. Busy Arnold wanted a backup in case anything happened to Eisner. Lovely colors on the book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently they were worried that Eisner might get killed in the war... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the artist who drew Midnight (in this case, Alex Kotsky) was able to replicate the Spirit so well, then couldn't Kotzky just have worked on the Spirit, in the event of Eisner's untimely demise?

Eisner owned The Spirit. I have always been curious why he didn't have a problem with Busy Arnold copying his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
