You know, I’m really going to have to figure out some way to
thank CW because I’ve managed to wring so many articles out of Legends of Tomorrow it’s
ridiculous. That’s one of the
glorious things about a show with as many superheroes with rich and vibrant
heroes as Legends of Tomorrow, though
it certainly helps having a lot of avenues to discuss the various heroes on the
series. For now it’s time to look
at covers once more, this time zeroing in on the leader of the Legends: Rip
Hunter.
Originally created in 1959, Rip Hunter enjoyed a fairly
successful solo run in the early ‘60s before fading into obscurity till the
2010s when he popped up in the massively successful 52 comic. Since then,
Rip has been elevated to a constant of the DCU and the comic book equivalent of
Doctor Who, that is until Silver
Surfer replaced him in that category but that’s a story for another
article. For now, let’s dive into
the shallow end and get the cover story on Rip Hunter, Time Master.
