Rogues’ Gallery: The Creeper
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
Apparently, in comic books, The Creeper wasn’t exactly a nemesis of Batman. However, he was sort of presented that way in an episode of the animated TV series, so that was enough as far as the esteemed panel choosing Rogues’ Gallery subjects was concerned.
I don’t know much about the character beyond that. Wikipedia tells me that he was a late-1960’s invention of Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. I don’t really think it’s any surprise that this didn’t hit as big.
Anyhow, I thought “late 60’s” and “creepy” and nothing combines those elements quite like the Yellow Submarine artwork of Heinz Edelmann. This is my pale imitation.
