Okay, we're back on "stuff I could have posted eleven years ago." At least I had the foresight to feature one of Chris Foreman's two jam contributions in the year that it was produced, even though that one remains unfinished, whereas this was one of the first that I managed to have completed... so I could sit on it in it's entirety for no good reason. Maybe I was going to run it some October for Halloween because villains or maybe I wanted to do encyclopedia entries for each subject? Motivation lost to time and inertia, I'm afraid. It's a shame too because, on pure technique, this was my favorite of the Foreman pieces I had commissioned (or otherwise posted from online finds.) I just like the energy of the '90s Image feathering.
Anyway, I dubbed this character one of
"The Vulture Monsters" when I did a write-up that probably also served as Foreman's reference, but they never had a proper name.
When Enrique “Quique” Alcatena drew them, I just referenced the story title "The Manhunter Monster!" I figured to do the same here, referencing the monster's sole comics appearance in
House of Mystery #169 (September, 1967.) As you can tell, this image was incorporated into a preexisting collaboration, third in a series, and I expect to get them all online this year. In the meantime, here's some more places on this site and beyond to see his work...
