Mistaken Identity, Yes?

It's #DrawDeathsHeadDay the most freelance peacekeeping day of the year!


This year, as well as wishing Simon Furman a happy birthday, I must also apologise to Gene Colan for my artistic theft. Sorry, Gene.

(If it helps, I re-drew the entire cover, when a more sensible person would have just photoshopped Death's Head in. I have never been sensible.)

  1. That's really good work. I didn't even know there was an earlier character going by "Death's Head." Guy seems more like a "Phantom Rider", anyway.

    1. Thank you!

      There is a vague Phantom Rider connection, sort of. Death-Stalker impersonated this earlier Death's Head at one stage, and that brings him into conflict with Ghost Rider, who of course stole Phantom Rider's name.

    1. Thank you! The original cover does a lot of the heavy lifting.
