The drawing above is of a character created by Chris Warner<\/strong> called Black Cross<\/strong>.\u00a0 He made his first appearance [Black Cross<\/strong>, not Chris Warner<\/strong>] in Dark Horse Presents #1<\/strong>.\u00a0 DHP #1<\/strong> 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<\/strong> by Mike Mignola<\/strong>, and on and on and on.<\/p>\n

Black Cross<\/strong> was popular enough to spin off into a mini-series, a couple of stand alone short comic stories and a one-shot.\u00a0 At one point, Black Cross <\/strong>was close to becoming a big screen feature with Howie Long<\/strong> in the title role.\u00a0 At about the same time another Black Cross<\/strong> mini-series was in the works called “My War.”<\/strong> Neither it or the movie ever happened.<\/p>\n

I always hold out hope that one day Chris Warner <\/strong>will bring back Black Cross<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
