1. Comment on this post. 2. I will give you a letter. 3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose name starts with that letter and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
This is true, Etrigan's popped up in Sandman. He's also in the recent Reign In Hell, where he's again separated from Jason Blood, and he's been in various Batman books.
Your letter is "L". It seemed like the right choice.
Ah many good characters in your listing. Etrigan was one of my favorite Kirby-creations and the way he morphed in Swamp Thing was fantastic (loved the lyrical rhyming). Oddly enough, I've never read the Sandman stories with the character.
As for E-man, you forgot the koala! Sure, Staton gave more curves than a offroad switchback course, but it was the odd flavor of the writing that made me reread the books. Oh, those wonderful days when you could pickup 10 Charlton/Modern books for a buck!! Between E-man, Blue Beatle, Captain Atom, the Peacemaker, Judomaster, Sarge Steel, and The Question, they did have a pretty good stable. Most of which, of course, would be transformed into the Watchmen...
I did indeed forget the koala, who was just another level of fun.It's been a while since I reread the original books, and I really should go back and do that. It would be nice if someone would figure out doing an omnibus of the E-Man stories -- after all, it was done with Herbie, it ought to be possible to do it with E-Man.
