Adam Prosser, who draws the webcomic Phantasmic Tales, has posted his 24-hour comic, The Archon, which mashes up Archie with the New Gods. The cast includes Jugulus, Mystica, and Big Battala. (I think I would have blended Veronica with Big Barda, not Betty, but maybe that’s too obvious.) And everyone’s got the excessive headgear characteristic of Kirby.

Whoa!!!! Thanks, Johanna! Truly, I stand amongst the gods on this day. I’m kind of blown away, and most definitely gratified, by how The Archon seems to have caught on amongst the internets, considering I had no idea whether what I was doing made any sense at all when I was drawing it (but then, that’s the nature of the 24-Hour Comic…)
I’ve actually been mulling over another, somewhat similar DeCarlo-meets-SF project for a while now, and given the reaction to this, I think I’ll go ahead with it!
