These are characters I want to flesh out

 

 Die Verbannten (The Exiled) first appeared in The Zeit Geist Saga and were heroes who had survived the destruction of their Earths and had to try to find a new life on Earth 664 -the Black Tower Universe Earth. 

During The Green Skies there were a few pages of the Exiled as well as D-Gruppe and Task Force Germany in action. There were also some newcomers as seen here  as well as the Exiled:



Schwarze Maske (Black Mask) and Nacht Adler (Night Eagle) are the two newbies to heroing and really got pushed into the deep end.  To be honest Nacht Adler has requested that I design a new mask for him as "The Parakeet Pervert" `tag was following him everywhere. Yep, even in modern Germany a man cannot don a mask and costume and patrol roof tops without being called names (usually "pervert").


Schwarze Maske has no problems with his outfit but he was expecting to catch burglars, car thieves and drug pushers and the Not Zombies and aliens was mind bending. He's young so he'll either get a girl friend or carry on super heroing!

Schwarze Schleier (Black Veil) no one knows much about her and she is also known as Der Murmeler (The Murmurer).  A whisper can fell a full grown man -speaking in a normal voice can induce terror. I have asked who she is but she just mutters so I have no idea...weird though as I keep blacking out... OH.

These are characters I want to flesh out and create more stories for.

Oh, it is going to happen....

 


When D-Gruppe started -I am referring to published nothing that came before- it was a lot darker. Revenge of the Ice Queen started with hundreds dying at the Externsteine. It was the 1980s and things were a lot grimmer and darker.

It's all veered into super heroics even if some of those heroes are...weird. Days of Terror would have seen...uh, no, I want to draw that so no spoilers. We had hints that something was going wrong with the Godling Waldmeister during The Green Skies. Anyway, had things all gone as planned there would have been several big storylines; the Zeitgeist Saga was one of those.

What happens when Klaus von Happe, aka Kopfmann returns from space (he and some of the team vanished while chasing a UFO during the Return of the Gods) ?  Well, for one thing he will be back to where he was supposed to be and also back to his rather snappy, angry and "I am better than you" persona.

One thing is for sure and that is D-Gruppe will never be the same again.

In -VERY- Brief

 


 If -IF- I survive long enough I have the Special Globe Guard book to finish off then I have the next Black Tower Super Heroes that I will start incorporating a few more D-Gruppe pages into before the book length D-Gruppe book. 

Kopfmann and the members who vanished while chasing a UFO (Return of the Gods) need to return and then things can kick off properly.

 It's one old bloke doing all the story/  artwork so don't hold your breath!

 The mystical traveller of the realms, The Thinker, meets a stranger while travelling along the Path of Counter Actuality. But this stranger is a different type of traveller: he is Illuyanka and he has been charged with on sworn duty –to destroy specific Earths in the multiverse.

Finding that Illuyanka is partial to gambling the Thinker risks all by challenging him to a cosmic game pitting heroes against various challenges: they lose then their Earth dies. The Thinker has no doubt that with all of his knowledge he can win. But Illuyanka is not what he seems.

A story that throws in as many super heroes and villains as you could ever want plus an Earths parallel crossing storyline that will have you wondering who the real bad guy is!

The Prof, investigator of the paranormal, encounters two werewolves in Castle Park...and Devilina who has a "sort of" message for him. Kotar, Sabuta, Lady Silana, Tarot and others deal with new werewolf activity and Dr Lycaon is granted access to the labs at the HQ of the explorer/adventurer group The Questors. Lycaon believes he is close to a serum that will cure the curse of lycanthropy but someone or something is trying to stop him. Meanwhile in space Freelancer delivers justice to the Central Galactic Council after its betrayal (see The Green Skies) and on Earth the equally treacherous Council of Light meets its fate. Will Lycaon succeed with his cure or does the increased werewolf activity even in the halls of one of the UKs most secret buildings indicate that the cure is too late?
