I haven't put up any new mods in awhile, so here's a few!

For those too young to remember, Atlas-Seaboard was a small comic company that tried to challenge Marvel and DC for a few months in the mid-1970s. Though they attracted some big-name talent, they soon went out of business, no title lasting longer than four issues and most fewer than that. But their policies on payment and artists retaining ownership of their artwork changed the industry forever!
While most of their characters were called derivative and unoriginal, they did have one of the very first "anti-heroes" in comics: THE TARANTULA! (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/album.php?albumid=27&pictureid=8514) A protagonist who changed into a were-spider and brutally killed criminals!

MADAME XANADU (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/album.php?albumid=27&pictureid=8515)was originally conceived as the "hostess" of a fantasy-horror anthology comic; but, beginning with a co-starring role in DC Comics Presents and more recently in many of DC's crossover events, became a player in DC's mainstream universe!

And who could forget Marvel Comics' answer to Alfred E. Neumann--FORBUSH-MAN (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/album.php?albumid=27&pictureid=8516)??

Love your Xanadu. She's holding Mano's head, isn't she? (don't worry, it makes a cameo in the mods I'll be posting this weekend)

Tarantula...well done, but scares the living tar out of me.

Hadn't seen your mods in a while. I'm not keen on these, but I ADORE the Circus of Crime!

Oh freakin' cool! Your Forbush-Man is perfect! even the fuzzies! The other two are great as well. I love the Tarantula and the web-effects you pulled off and the detail in Xanadu are really nice. Great jobs once again, CC!

Indeed she is. There's a place online where I can get clear plastic spheres of any size....but Mano's just more economical. Came in handy for Sando & Omar (http://www.flickr.com/photos/94028541@N00/1262475160/), too.

Hear hear for Mano!

Nice creativity with the cards for Madame and good use of the hasbro lamp-post.

What did you use to make him?

1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. (And a little bit of blood when I nicked my finger with the X-acto knife.)

Forbush man is my favorite!

1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. (And a little bit of blood when I nicked my finger with the X-acto knife.)

Tell me about it! ALMOST every time that I do 4/5 customs in the same time I ending with a bad cut in the fingers of my left hand :eek: and everytime it happen I say "oh, not again, lets's see how bad is it... OMG!"

lol, the last time 15% of a nail go with half my finger print. :laugh: (I thought it will leave a mark but is all right now lol)
Edit: nevermind, if I look closer I can see a little part is miising from the shape of my finger. :p

I love Forbush-Man! The Circus of Crime turned out great, especially The Clown and the Gammbinos.
