Puzzle Description:

Comic-Book Theme #5 the Green Lantern Logo

I don't know this logo, but I've at least heard of Green Lantern! :P Good picture!

Another nice puzzle with a couple challenging spots, but all logically solvable. A good exercise in edge logic to get the outer area started (begin with the sides, and then the top and bottom will follow). I recognized the image as soon as I started on the middle area - guess I'm showing my age.

I agree with Robert that this is entirely solvable by logic. At least I was able to do it, and I'm not half so good at it as he is. It's quite a fun puzzle to work.

By the way, you COULD have made the puzzle green. I occasionally do one-color puzzles in colors other than black.

I know but I'm more of a traditionnal B/W guy plus it give a nice hint in the title

Can't wait - wonder if you'll do my favorite CBT (coming soon to a theater near you).

To Robert if your talking about a certain arachnia guy I'm working on it but the design is harder then I expect at first
#7: Robert Kummerfeldt (rmkummerfeldt) on Apr 18, 2007
Getting good detail on all the legs and keeping it solvable can't be easy. The design used in the original comic books looks a "little" simpler than the one in the movies - not as much fine detail. Good luck.

Nice design :)

The 7's can each only go in one place, so figure out where that is.

I like that it's black and white instead of green.

I like the way a lot of your puzzles requires atypical logic.

Do you know the Phantom? I don't know if he was ever a comic book, but he was in the newspaper comics when I was a kid, and my dad remembers from when he was a kid. This reminds me of hte Phantom's signet ring, which was a skull and when he socked a bad guy in the jaw, the bad guy would have the skull inprint on his jaw FOREVER!
#13: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Sep 9, 2007 [SPOILER]
yeah I know of the Phantom, they even make a movie about this guy ( but it was awful so..)

I just did the Batman puzzle right before this one. Both were nice images but the symetry made them pretty easy to solve. This one was a little harder to get started until some edge logic was applied.

I remember the Phantom too. Was my favorite comic in the newspaper to look for as a kid. I think I remember a couple actual comic books as well but I'm not certain of that. I do remember that in the Sunday color comics his outfit was purple.

Martin: Those were the first serie of puzzle I create when I first start in here. I was not experience enought to modify the existing model to make sure that they wouldn't be perfectly semetrical. But the thing is many of those logo are design like that to be easy to draw and to look good from all angle. The lantern, the bat-logo, Wonder Woman W are all design the same way. At least it make for a good final image....

Thanks for reviving those old puzzle
#16: Byrdie (byrdie) on Jul 25, 2010 [HINT]
No complaints about them being symetrical, just commenting that it made them easy. They wouldn't look right any other way.

The only thing..that I didn't like..about the Phantom..was the overuse of two dots..between phrases..
It was as though..William Shatner..were narrating..

And yes..the movie..was..terrible..

Started this series this evening. So far every one of the five puzzles seems to have that challenging spot that makes it look unsolvable. However, edge technique is used in all cases to get to a solvable output.
