I always wanted a CLAYFCE in my collection
My preference when it comes to costume design is from somewhere near
the "Mego era" and it is usually a simple costume preference--
even if the costume is pulled from the earlier part of the BRONZE AGE
of comics (early 1970s), closer to the tail-end of the SILVER AGE (1960s),
if need be, for a less busy costume design.
Bill Burger---a great museum member that I don't see around here
enough--- but will forever be indebted to, once sent me CLAYFACE pix
from a BRONZE AGE comic that featured a super-villain team led by
QUEEN BEE that included BRAINIAC, GRODD, SINESTRO, MERLYN, HARPY,
and CLAYFACE.
The CLAYFACE in that comic appeared as a more "chiseled" version of his
"goopier" SILVER AGE appearance---as a result of these two ideas for
a CLAYFACE costume (basically a goopy clay guy in blue briefs)---THIS
Ed Nagy version was born.
Kudos to Ed for gooping the extra mile and adding the hand/forearm
accessories to approxiamate "clay manipulation".
Clay on, Bat-fans!
