Another I really loved is Dominic Fortune, by Howard Chaykin.
I first saw him in MARVEL PREVIEW 20 (1979, the first BIZARRE ADVENTURES issue), that collected the first two Dominic Fortune stories, reprinted from two previous Marvel magazines.
Then the series continued in new full color stories in HULK magazine 21-25 (1980), scripted by Dennis O'Neil, with Chaykin doing gorgeous full-color painted art. Fun period stories set in the 1930s, with stories doing tribute to Golden Age comics artists, an evil Shirley Temple, a buffoonish version of the Shadow, Nazis, zombies, and other imagery evocative of the 1930's, from the same era as O'Neil/Kaluta's THE SHADOW, but with a fun blend of tongue in cheek humor. I felt Chaykin's later work on AMERICAN FLAGG while good was not as fun as this brief run.
It is also in everything but name a continuation of Chaykin's character THE SCORPION (1975) for Seaboard Atlas. Although Chayin's art and storytelling ability in the later Dominic Fortune series is visibly improved. But if you read the BIZARRE ADVENTURES 20 issue and HULK stories and crave more, you can check these out.
