Doctor Fate turns 75!

One of the most powerful characters in comics is three quarters of a century old,  Doctor Fate, the wearer of the helmet of Nabu. The sorcerer first appeared in More Fun Comics in May 1940 and has been featured in the DC Universe since then, in comics and TV as a guest character. There have been several versions of the character. The first one was Kent Nelson but most of the other versions are visually similar (except for the 90’s Fate, but he wasn’t a doctor either)

Doctor Fate has been kind of a mess since Crisis of Infinite Earths (30 years ago). DC can’t focus on one version of the character. Right now they’re about to launch a new series featuring yet another reimagining of the character (the 8 page preview was awesome by the way).

Here’s to 75 more years! Since DC didn’t make an anniversary logo or even variant covers in honor of the character, I made a logo with somewhat the similar to the official ones for Superman and Batman.
