Also I think the Atomic Robo creator(s?) said they make as much off the iphone version as they have done on the paper versions. <br /><br />I'll try to google up some data...Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-78236653317863919612009-10-29T01:09:59.602-04:002009-10-29T01:09:59.602-04:00@JimShelley: No plans as yet for the iPhone.

There might have been an editorial trend against bare legged heroes maybe - didn't Cosmic boy loose his bare legged look at about this same time too?<br /><br />@Red J - Hey! Great to see your comments! Any plans to bring Gemini to the iPhone?Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-1484637045347738652009-10-24T21:34:28.567-04:002009-10-24T21:34:28.567-04:00Hey!

I was surfing the net looking for a picture of the original daredevil costume to show my buddy, and as I scrolled down I was surprised and also amused to see your take on Gemini (Image). Very cool.<br /><br />I was showing my friend how the design for Gemini was basically another version of this tried and true concept, and you illustrated that for me perfectly.<br /><br />I'm the guy who draws the Gemini comic, and I also had a hand in his design. Funny thing was, I actually wasn't aware of the golden age daredevil when we designed this guy (most likely cause of my age), but I was steered in that direction by people who are fans of that original character.<br /><br />Glad to see Gemini included in this line-up in any case!<br /><br />Jon.Red Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477809519670158397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-40777302851194605662009-02-18T17:17:00.000-05:002009-02-18T17:17:00.000-05:00Once I started think about it, there are quite a f...Once I started think about it, there are quite a few characters. Marvel also had the villain Mercurio who was divided red and blue down the center. http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/mercurio4d.htm<BR/><BR/>And, in the 60's DC was bonkers over bi-laterally divided characters: A-V-M Man, Metamorpho, Composite Superman, Ultra - the Multi-alien. And the ole standard Two-face. Though, that is taking the theme a little further afield.<BR/><BR/>And who could forget Frank Gorshin's b/w alien on Star Trek's "Let that be your last battlefield"?cash_gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016914226368450646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-67059423267349853982009-02-18T08:28:00.000-05:002009-02-18T08:28:00.000-05:00And the bare legs look on Peter Cannon came first,...And the bare legs look on Peter Cannon came first, it was only later that DC decided to give him some pants when they gave him his own series.Renohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706715472542842560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-68851672464159173582009-02-18T08:10:00.000-05:002009-02-18T08:10:00.000-05:00The design was also used for the character in this...The design was also used for the character in this book: http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=40518&zoom=4<BR/><BR/>They say the character is the same as the title, but my memory says that's incorrect. I'd have to check to be sure. <BR/><BR/>Peter Cannon's look was deliberately based on the GA Daredevil although his back story is actually a reworking of Amazing Man's (just as Iron Fist was).cash_gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016914226368450646noreply@blogger.com
