Delta Tenn #8 (1988) is an independent comic created, drawm. written and lettered by Mark Marderosian from Entertainment Publishing Company (yet the cover has TE Comic). The production artist was Steve Cohen, who also did #9 and 10. The cover features the blonde law enforcer strangling a knife-wielding villain while two other bad guys approach. Her police uniform is odd mostly for the fact that she carries her nightstick and pistol on what appears to be a garter just above her right thigh-high boot. She wears a cap inside this issue, which is in black and white, that makes her look a lot like a dominatrix than a cop. "Sadist's Dream" is a rather odd story for Delta Tenn's boyfriend is back at work as a host for a children's tv show called Kiddie Kave. I will say that this is not a comic for kids since it deals with the sadistic killer dressing up in a kitty costume.
A one-page text story titled "Marks of a Killer" is also included. A page with fan art and the blueprints for the Antranig model THS-5200 rocket launcher can also be found in the back. The inside back cover features a pinup of Delta Tenn while a t-shirt offer is on the back. This was the last issue of the series.
i was production artist on issues 8, 9 and Tenn of this comic book, my name is in the credits.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, Steve.
ReplyDeleteI see the cover is based on that famous Phantom Lady "headlights"cover.
ReplyDeletei did not say i drew it, i said i was _production artist_, the comic book was written and drawn by Mark Marderosian, i helped rule panel borders, fill in black areas and inked some backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteyes, Mark drew that with glee, he used a Jack Cole splash in an issue too, and paid homage to the great cartoonist, i forget if it was the same issue, but it was the Col story "Murder, Mayhem, and Me", if memory serves!!!
ReplyDeletei loved working on that comic book!!!
