Captain Battle looks pretty cool. And also like the Death Defying Devil.

Black Terror, Blue Bolt, Capt. Battle and Death Defying Devil are all great to me!

Hope both ZICA and Castaways are paying attention!!

Newbie says Hi !

Just a quick introduction.My name is Brian & I do alot of sculpting & I am also a painter/illustrator It`s not for sure because we are still talking but Cast Away is considering me as their packaging artist & possibly a sculptor.I`m really hoping we can get our heads together & really get these guys off to a flying start.I`m certainly stoked to do this.It`s like a dream project for me.There are some really decent public domain characters.These are some I thought of tonite & I would appreciate your feedback.
1) Vlad the Impaler
2) Famous circus freaks-The Elephant Man,Schlitzie the Pin Head,Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy are some good examples.

Hey Fairy, welcome to the museum and good luck.

Cool looking group, that Golden age look gets me every time. The only guy I don't care for is U.S. Jones.

its a very good idea but most of those heroes are kinda "eh" i like the idea very much though.
maybe with a better design of character and more a bit less generic. again i like the idea, those heroes are just rather generic

Now that Dynamite is publishing them, or at least versions of them, are they really still public domain?

Black Terror and Blue Bolt are both great characters.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I like the idea of the circus freaks, particularly the Elephant Man.

[The Bloody Head Fairy]

I`m not 100 % sure but I believe the Green Lama is another that had a pretty good following.

Probably not the Dynamite/Alex Ross reinterpretations....but the original Golden Age looks may be still in public domain.

Didn't castaway already make a Black Terror?

^ I think they did when he was being published by AC Comics.

I agree that these guys are very generic looking. You could just make up your own Golden Age looking heroes and have the same effect imo. It's not that they're bad, just kinda blah for me.
