Well, if you liked the Blind Eagle -- Hungry Hawk segment, then you may be in the right place.
But be prepared, we are going in deep ... wait for it ... this will be a long journey!
Only true Big Five geeks will appreciate what unfolds on this blog.
Johnny Cloud is certainly one of the most overlooked DC Comics war heroes. Yet, he is one of the most nuanced characters to flow from Kanigher's lobes. And, he is perhaps the most misunderstood.
Few readers have caught on that Johnny Cloud is an Avatar of the Great Warrior Spirit, also known has his Big Brother in the Sky. This blog examines each of his sagas and tabulates everything there is to know about him -- from his extraordinary powers to his tortured psyche to his combat record.
Cloud was invincible, yet he never quite appreciated his destiny -- that is to serve the Great Warrior Spirit. Even his creator, the prolific and irascible Robert Kanigher, did not fully appreciate the character he developed for his friend, and favored artist, Irv Novick.
Read on my friend ... and join Old Wood in Geektown!
