Bring Back Black Cross
The drawing above is of a character created by Chris Warner called Black Cross. He made his first appearance [Black Cross, not Chris Warner] in Dark Horse Presents #1. DHP #1 was an anthology and the first comic published by the folks who would go on to give us Frank Miller’s Sin City, Eric Powell’s The Goon, Hellboy by Mike Mignola, and on and on and on.
Black Cross was popular enough to spin off into a mini-series, a couple of stand alone short comic stories and a one-shot. At one point, Black Cross was close to becoming a big screen feature with Howie Long in the title role. At about the same time another Black Cross mini-series was in the works called “My War.” Neither it or the movie ever happened.
I always hold out hope that one day Chris Warner will bring back Black Cross.
One of my all time favorite comic books. I even have an amazing page hanging in my office. Loved that comic book and so did all the comic book fans I knew.
C’mon, Chris! Give the fans what they want!
What page do you own, Dan?
Have you ever drawn the character? Maybe Chris should write it and you draw it! Yeah, baby!!
