Now that it has been announced that Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) has accepted the role of Black Adam DC Comics/Warner Bros. movie, collector fervor has struck.
From his early appearance to his more modern adventures Black Adam comic book issues are starting to rise in value.
A spillover are his appearances as toys as exemplified in DC Direct’s JSA SHAZAM! Black Adam figure was produced in 2002.
The Black Adam figure comes in a bright red and yellow bubble pack.
The figure is dressed in a solid black outfit with yellow pirate books, a wide yellow belt, a yellow lightning bolt symbol on its chest and yellow gauntlets with no gloves.
The articulated figure is muscular and Black Adam’s face is long, angular and has a look of irritation on its features. His black hair is combed back flat to his head.
Next to Spider-Man my
favorite Steve Ditko character is The Creeper. Steve created The
Creeper back in the late 1960s after he left Marvel Comics and as
penciller on The Amazing Spider-Man.
The Creeper is kind of a cross between The Joker and The Madmen seen in another Steve Ditko comic book: Blue Beetle.
Included with the figure is a blue scarab necklace, with a large blue jewel set in the scarab centerpiece and a chain for wearing around the figure’s neck.
The Creeper figure also comes in a bubble pack but is snug in a plastic inner clear cocoon.
The figure wears primarily yellow with large tuffs of red fur at each shoulder, red and black gloves, red and black boots and a black and green set of trunks.
The figure’s face with its pupiless eyes has its mouth open in a wild laugh,
Its face is yellow and it has long green tousled hair.
Included with the figure is a circular black base to pose the figure on. It is fully articulated with cleverly hidden articulation points as is the Black Adam figure.
Both figures have excellent coloring and paint application with no jagged edges and no stiffness at the articulation points when posed.
