Creeper! Love the Creeper!! I always liked Hawk & Dove tooComment

I know many were more or less implosion victims back in the day, but I"m glad that a few of them are now considered classic characters.
I mean back in the day, did you ever think that some of these guys would get action figures? Let alone cartoon TV appearances? Hopefully Ditko gets cheques for them.

Hawk and Dove? Yeah. They were pretty prevalent back in the day. Them and the Creeper always seemed to be somewhere. Stalker on the other hand....

I doubt Ditko would cash those checks. I understand he refused money from the Spider-Man films?
Is there any DC character odder than Odd Man?

I think Odd Man is really the only one that got the shaft with the DC Implosion...I think his original appearance ended up being in "Cancelled Comics Cavalcade", but it was eventually reprinted elsewhere. I really don't think DC has done much, if anything, with the character since then...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

Ditko doesn't do interviews, so it doesn't surprise me that he just submitted artwork for that "Profiles" piece...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

Really sad that 3 Ditko stories were in this one... shade, creeper and Oddman as Anthony mentioned.

"Oddly" enough, Vixen's first appearance never appeared outside of CCC, despite her later fame in several Justice League versions, and on the cartoon.
Odd Man showed up in one of the Detective dollar comics.

There was a great article on Vixen with the unpublished CCC art in the cat themed Back Issue magazine.
Just goes to show how really deep JLU got in both the show and action figures into the DC character library. probably further than DC Direct's 6-7" line. Was it primarily Dwayne McDuffie writing Vixen on JLU?
the new JLU inspired costume is certainly a far cry from the original.

That was a very interesting Back Issue article. Gerry Conway changed her backstory a bit when he finally got around to it in JLA. He didn't adhere to Vixen #1, that was never really published.
