Happy July 2nd and Welcome back for more of my Star-Spangled Sketches!
Today we visit an often forgotten character from the early days of Image Comics, Super Patriot! How could we not include someone named Super-Patriot in our Star-Spangled Celebration!
Super-Patriot's story started off familiar, he was a WWII soldier who was experimented on (this time by the Nazis), gained super powers and became the Super Patriot! In the "modern era" the more vicious bad guys, attacked him and left him for dead, a shady company saved his life, turning him into a cyborg and he jumped back into action as the all-new, Super Patriot!
I enjoyed Super Patriot even though he didn't get used a ton. He had two limited series and showed up in several titles, including the Savage Dragon, which makes sense since he was created by Erik Larsen. I always thought he was a fun take on several basic origin ideas and his ability to shape shift his cybernetic parts into weapons, always looks cool!
I have 2 sketches of Super Patriot. I should probable try to get one from Dave Johnson or Erik Larsen.
