That was how we invited the DC staff to participate in Loud Shirt Day, one of a variety of crazy morale events dreamed up by Robyn McBryde and yours truly back in the 1980s. The staff gathered in the Production Department and watched each contestant emerge from the statroom in all their eye-blasting finery.
Everybody voted for their favorite and the winner received a Superman tie that was created by my wife Laurie.

HI, I have a question about the Character "The Image" that was going to Debut in The Green Lantern universe in 1984. I remember seeing him in DC Sampler #3, but then he never appeared. I know it's been over 30 years since then, but do you think he will ever see the light of day. He seems to be an interesting character and could be DC's version of Marvel's "The Vision". I think the young writer's and artist's of today could do a lot with him in the New DC Universe. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt is highly unlikely that a character mentioned 32 years ago will ever see publication. I'd guess that everyone who was involved back then is retired by now.
DeleteThanks for the response. Last question, what were his powers supposed to be? Thanks Again.
DeleteHe could mind-control popular Marvel artists into quitting and starting their own comics company.
