Nightmask was another fan favorite that was cut after Shooter left
Marvel. Nightmask ran only 12 issues and did not get an annual when
it bowed out.
He's Keith Remsen. She's his sister Teddy. Together they run a
unique psychoanalytical consulting service. With Teddy's help, Keith
can enter the dreams of others, roam the labyrinths of their minds
and, in the process, help the seriously disturbed.
Keith remains anonymous in their clients' dreams, however. Protected
from their psychological defenses by a psychophysically manifested
camouflage. It's called the Nightmask.
Created by Archie Goodwin (who wrote the first and eighth issues of
the title) with costume designs by Rick Leonardi, NIGHTMASK, which
often suffered from lack of focus, featured the diverse talents of
such creators as Roy Thomas, Tony Salmons, Ron Wagner, Michael Bair,
Keith Giffen and Kyle Baker, with covers by some of the industry's
top talent, people like Bair, Sandy Plunkett, Charles Vess, and P.
Craig Russell.
Perhaps the standout accomplishment in this book was the introduction
to mainstream comics of the MARVEL COMICS TRY-OUT BOOK contest
winner, Mark Bagley, who went on to helm books such as NEW WARRIORS,
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, THUNDERBOLTS, and his present success with
Brian Michael Bendis, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN.
