My first Forgotten Heroes submission this year is none other than:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was going through my comics the other day and was surprised to find this, as I don’t remember buying it. I’m a sucker for kung-fu comics, so I guess I’m not surprised after all. This is the only Judomaster comic I own and I’ve never heard of the character, so that’s “Forgotten Heroes” enough for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked up his story: Judomaster was a sergeant in WWII in the Pacific theatre. At some point, he saved a girl. The father of the girl he saved taught him judo as thanks. That’s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The character was originally a Charlton comics character, and most of those ended up owned by DC comics. DC never did very much with Judomaster before killing him off in the Infinite Crisis storyline by having Bane break his back. Judomaster is no Batman, so he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You figure he’d be tougher, since he’s apparently REALLY good at judo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They don’t give costumes like that to just anyone, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To make Judomaster I used Iron Fist as a base miniature. Can’t really do better than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebased and repainted, he looks like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I somehow overlooked the fact that Judomaster wears a black belt (of course he does), and I didn’t want to sculpt one after I painted him, so I just painted the belt on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to do at least one more miniature this year, possibly two. I do so love this challenge!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
