Love those Super Powers and Secret Wars shots. I was a teen when they came out but bought a lot of them anyway to display on my bookshelf (I stupidly sold them all in the 90s, d'oh!). Toy collecting wasn't "cool" yet in the mid 80s, so I remember furtively buying them at the local department store, praying that a classmate wouldn't catch me in the deed. I would have never heard the end of that at school the next day. :lol:

^That's gotta be John Byrne.

Pretty sure it's a collage taken from the covers of the individual comics. The Fly is by Mike Parobeck.

Of course, Byrne's influence might be all over these images.

Re: Random comic-related pic thread
 
The Comet, The Web and The Jaguar definitely look like Byrne for certain. You are probably correct about The Fly. The Shield looks like it could be someone else as well.

The Comet drew my eye first.

Tried looking up something about Impact Comics. Yet there isn't much found. Some is listed on Wikipedia and some on a DC fandom site. Seems like it was owned by DC.

I want to say it was a joint venture with Archie Comics, who I think were actually running the comics. DC was just serving as publisher. Archie still had that lucrative grocery newsstand deal in place and wanted to dip into a superhero imprint with the early '90s Image boom happening. All the characters were super generic and never made much impact.

It was some deal like Archie could "borrow" DC talent for the comics. No idea who owned the characters. I suspect DC had the option of buying them if the line was successful.

Yeah, the copyright information at the bottom of the ad confirms that DC was the publisher but Archie Comics was the rights holder.

DC has licensed the characters several times in the past, but it looks like Archie still owns them.

The 1977 Peter Pan Records album titled Exciting Christmas Stories (catalog #8199) features four distinct DC Super Hero audio adventures. There is a total of four tracks, each presenting a different Christmas story.
The tracklist for the record is as follows:
  • Side 1, Track 1: "Superman Christmas Story (Light Up The Tree, Mr. President)"
  • Side 1, Track 2: "Batman Christmas Story (Christmas Carol Caper - Part 1)"
  • Side 2, Track 1: "Batman Christmas Story (Christmas Carol Caper - Conclusion)"
  • Side 2, Track 2: "Wonder Woman Christmas Story (The Prisoner Of Christmas Island)"
The stories feature voice acting, but the specific actors were uncredited on the album. This record was one of several character-themed LPs released by Peter Pan Records around that time, which also included a Christmas album for The Six Million Dollar Man. More details on this specific release can be found on the Discogs page for the album.

(Edited to add: while searching images etc for this record I found a post somewhere that had Neal's signature on the front.)

Oh no! Batman is woke! I never will read Batman again!

Where there's woke, there's smoke! And when you smoke you choke. And when you choke, you go broke. So don't be woke, Batman! I always hated Batman anyway!
