Hero And Villain In One Day!


This seems like the perfect day to dig out this wonderful DC Showcase volume starring the one and only Eclipso, the character who cannot make up his mind if he's a villain or a hero.


For sure this was a stranger than usual premise, a man overcome by the magical power of a mystic gem triggered by eclipses which transformed him utterly into a being of great power. What he did with that power was an open question. Created for the House of Secrets by the wildcard writer of DC Bob Haney, this character was illustrated by great pros like Lee Elias, Alex Toth and Jack Sparling.  If you haven't sampled some Eclipso, take a snort, it's pretty tasty. Here is my review from the prehistoric days of the Dojo.









(This issue is not in the collection, but I love the Gil Kane cover.)
