With the 10th issue of Prophet done, the title was relaunched with Chuck Dixon as the writer and Mr Platt back on art duties.
It didn't take too long before some fill-in art was needed though, and by the 4th issue it was apparent that even when Platt was pencilling he wasn't putting as much effort into the layouts or the panel "details" themselves.
18 large scans under the cut - Prophet (v2) #1 and 4, Fighting American #2, and Fighting American: Dogs of War #2.
4 scans from Prophet 1:
Cover and 6 scans from Prophet 4:
With the Fighting American 2-issue mini-series (art duties shared with Liefeld) due to the lead time there was a big leap in quality from the Prophet work seen above.
2 scans from FA #2:
This level of art was maintained for Platt's final work for Liefeld, the 4 isue Dogs of War mini, written by Jim Starlin (which introduced a Winter Soldier/Bucky character some 10 years before Brubaker's Cap series) - being Liefeld-owned trouble was on the way, and the fourth issue never shipped as Awesome Comics' financial backers ran out of money.
5 scans from FA:DOW #2:
Next - the final in the series - Platt's creator-owned Battle-Chasers clone "Soul Saga", and a brief return to Marvel!
