That still wasn't me. I'm guessing editorial asked for that to be drawn in there to connect with some future plans of one of the other Red Circle writers. Probably this was akin to the mysterious hooded woman who showed up in every one of the new #1 issues at DC. None of my plans involved Mr. Justice.John Rozumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626209473214085436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13190497.post-91098161013385140462011-11-09T10:02:06.422-05:002011-11-09T10:02:06.422-05:00I should've added my pick.

Sorry ...Thanks, both for the info and the link. :)<br /><br />Sorry to disagree about Mr Justice Mr. Rozum - Mr Justice definitely cameos in Hangman episode #5, page 9, floating in the air. :)<br /><br />And once again, I think those 37 issues you guys produced were a strong addition to the legacy of MLJ/Red Circle/Mighty Crusaders in its various iterations. :)pulpcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827978428130531133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13190497.post-36436580781191217492011-11-08T18:11:17.858-05:002011-11-08T18:11:17.858-05:00Mr. Justice appeared in the Web half of the comic,...Mr. Justice appeared in the Web half of the comic, which was not written by me, so I can't answer those questions. <br /><br />As far as the Avatars of Execution go, all of the characters I'd planned were new, previously non-existing characters, except for the avatar of the electric chair who is revealed in the final page of the final issue. <br /><br />You can read all about the heroes and villains featured in THE HANGMAN by heading to this post:<br /><br />http://johnrozum.blogspot.com/2010/07/hangman-heroes-and-villains.html<br /><br />Everyone involved was fully invested in making the characters exciting, interesting, and at home in the DCU, and we were all sorry that they didn't catch on.

Having just re-read your Hangman run ...Hi Mr Rozum! Having just re-read your Hangman run over this past weekend (I loved all the DC-Red Circle stuff and wish it had been more commercially successful as a whole), this has prompted several questions!<br />1. Mr. Justice cameoed in #5; was that simply to use the design in-comic befoe the end of the series or did you have bigger plans for the character?<br />2. If you did have more plans for the character, what kind or ole did you see for Mr. Justice? What kind of powers would he have had?<br />3. In the final episode, it is mentioned that the various avatars of violent death have been villains and less often heroes; it was also mentioned that Hangman had encountered the avatar of those burned at the stake; while reading this I reflected on the Mr. Justice appearance which was as a building was burning in the wake of Hangman’s actions – so was Mr. Justice the new avatar of those burned at the stake, or am I over-reading things?<br />Thanks in advance. I have a fondness for the MLJ/Mighty Crusaders/Red Circle heroes in their various incarnations, and with the full potential of the latter DC era unfulfilled simply due to cancellation (at least in my opinion) despite great stories from a talented pool of writers, I was hoping to fill in some of the remaining blanks.pulpcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827978428130531133noreply@blogger.com
