And since then, we have! Well, mostly, I think. There's 6 of them. On the left page, the first one is The Black Flame on top of the plane in the second Sledgehammer 44 mini series (Lightning war, man that was a great one!). The second pic is of the Crimson Lotus. She appeared in Lobster Johnson: A Scent of Lotus (what a great mini series, too!). Then there's one from 1937 from New York that says unknown. Did we see that in one of the Lobster Johnson series? I don't remember that. From Iron Prometheus, perhaps?
On to the second page. On the first photo it's written Melines and says it's from 1944. No idea what that one is. Anybody? Then it's that weird Nazi scientist with the big crystal eyes that we saw in The Lightning War and finally in the last picture we have Sledgehammer himself.
I was quite surprised revisiting those drawing to find out that since then, there's only two of the photos we do not know about. If i'm not mistaken of course about them. I'm guessing that the one from 1937 we'll see it happen in the pages of Lobster Johnson down the road. But as for the Melines one, no idea. That's at the end of the war. And I'm dying to know more about that one. Or see more of the Crimson Lotus, for that matter.
Anyone else is as fascinated by those files as I? It showed back then that Mignola and co. had a rich history to tell and so much mystery. If anybody else can pinpoint the last two pics, I'd be delighted.
