Crossover Cover: Phases of the Moon: Full Moon

 

Are you a fan of the books and comics put out by Moonstone Books?

Then you'll love this decades-spanning graphic novel which features various characters published by Moonstone, from the Spider to Sheena!

For more information, check out my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3! Much like the first two volumes, this new tome is an AUTHORIZED companion to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2 and will be published by Meteor House!

Crossover Cover: The Phantom/Captain Action

The Phantom and Captain Action (Cole Drake, the son of Miles Drake, the original Captain Action) battle a counter intelligence agency called Tatsu. The Phantom’s wife is called Diana Walker-Palmer in this story, but this must be fictionalization. The 22^nd Phantom, who became active in 1989 (as seen in the Marvel Comics series The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks) was the grandson of the 20^th Phantom and Diana Palmer. After his death in 2016, his son took over as the 23^rd Phantom. He died in 2024, and his son became the 24^th Phantom in 2040, as seen in the animated series Phantom 2040.

Crossover Cover: Codename: Action

A government agent teams with Operator 5, the Green Hornet and Kato, the Green Lama, the Spider, Daredevil (the Golden Age comic character published by Lev Gleason, not the Marvel superhero who debuted in 1964), Black Venus, and the American Crusader to battle a plot by the terrorist group Hexagon. At the end of the series, the agent dons the name and costume of Captain Action. This series does not fit with the continuity of the Captain Action comics published by Moonstone, which are already connected to the CU via crossovers with the Phantom, the Green Hornet, and Honey West and Derek Flint. Additionally, the Spider’s look, as with his other incarnations in Dynamite’s titles, is based on the serial The Spider’s Web, rather than the fangs, hunchback, and fright wig described in the pulps.
