So, i was chatting with the Mindbender (from a more than social distance) about some of the old Centaur comics line and i mentioned that i was using one of their characters in The 3rd Colony.
Eventually, it occurred to me that we had yet to see that character here, even though it was one of the great ODD characters of the Golden Age. So let us turn back to 1939 and gaze upon The Eye.
I'm not going to try to describe or summarize The Eye for you. Here are the first three tales by Frank Thomas from Keen Detective Funnies and you can see for yourself -
As you can see, the Eye was an interesting character, but rather limited in dramatic character interaction for an ongoing series. However, i thought that as a mysterious guide, aid, and plot mover, The Eye might work rather well in a video game context.
Or maybe it's just more clutter in project.
Either way, i rather like The Eye, or Detective Eye as it was sometimes known (like in its own title).
Here's is the cover to the 3rd tale above -
I expect we'll be seeing more of The Eye - maybe quite soon.
