    The FACE!!


    After I did Frankenstein I was looking at a lot of other golden age comic characters and decided to take a turn into the obscure. Info on the character here:
    Tony Trent, a newscaster for the radio station WBSC, witnesses a murder committed by gangsters disguised as cops. Consequentally he decides to fight crime. Having no innate superpowers, he instead uses a mask to scare criminals. Trent would use his position to learn of crimes and catch those behind them as The Face! He works with the city's police commissioner to obtain information from the underworld . Later circumstances caused Tony to give up his Face identity, but he still worked for the...

    Something kind of cool about a guy that wears a tux and a Halloween mask to dispense vigilante justice. Original head by Don(ctc here) I added hair and painted it up to look like a rubber mask. Tux by Hasbro, gun from the parts pile




    Enjoy, I've got more than a few more of these guys to get cranked out, a few need some redesigning (the amount of otherwise cool characters that ran around in short pants and no shirts is astounding), but most will be left as is.

              Maybe Daredevil, not the Marvel one.

                  Love the look of this guy Joe! Just screams "Golden Age" to me. Almost like a Dick Tracy era figure.

                        You've managed to capture the Golden Age style well in the sculpt/paint app, not an easy task.
