I Did Not Know This, The Danzig Skull - mybankey - 03-05-2012
The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior was a 1983 11-issue fantasy-based [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_comics\"]Marvel[/url] comic book with an associated toy line from [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remco\"]Remco[/url], consisting of seven figures, some vehicles and accessories.
The toys hit the shelves in late 1982; the Marvel Comics series was first published in the spring of 1983.[sup][url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Saga_of_Crystar#cite_note-0\"][1][/url][/sup] Since the toys were released first, many assumed the comic had been a licensed adaptation of the toyline, but Crystar and all of the characters in the toy line and comic book were created and owned by Marvel Comics, which had created the concept with the express intent of selling the license to a toy company.[sup][url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Saga_of_Crystar#cite_note-1\"][2][/url][/sup]
The comic book series was set parallel to the [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe\"]Marvel Universe[/url] and featured guest appearances by [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange\"]Doctor Strange[/url], [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcrawler_(comics)\"]Nightcrawler[/url] and [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Flight\"]Alpha Flight[/url].
The cover of issue #8 of [url=\"http://www.comics.org/details.lasso?id=212228\"]The Saga of Crystar[/url], drawn by [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Golden_(comics)\"]Michael Golden[/url], features a skull logo that was later used by the bands [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain_(band)\"]Samhain[/url] and [url=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danzig_(band)\"]Danzig[/url].
Did any of you?

Wow, that\'s pretty interesting. I didn\'t know that, but I\'m not surprised since Glenn Danzig is a big comic book fan. I think I had a figure from that toy line back in the day also.

True, I just was looking at the skull and came across that info, and thought hmm, i just figured he drew it up.

Not surprising though. Every "Drawing" of the Misfit skull came from Lobby stills of the crimson ghost

Cool find...didn\'t know that either. BTW crimson ghost rules

Never seen this before......
Very cool find. I heared on Misfits Central that Glenn got the Skull from a movie. Not sure what movie it was..... I just looked and couldn\'t find any info but he is a comic fan so maybe that\'s where he got it from.
If anyone knows the name of the film. I\'d like to check it out.
Thanks,
Jay
