Forgotten Team books of the Copper Age.

anyone else get in to Strikeforce: Morituri when it first came out? Marathon was a great character, especially after he went bats**t barking mad towards the mid-teens

Great thread

I loved and own all these team books (except for All- Star Squadron).

Strikeforce:Morituri was such a unique book. Young people going through the process of getting Super powers to defend earth against aliens, only to know they will "burn out" and die within a year.

I heard recently that Hollywood was going to make a TV series based on the comic. Anyone else hear this rumor?

There was talk of a tv series but I don't know how far it ever got.I enjoyed the series as a comic.Not one of my favorites but a cut above much of the dribble Marvel was putting out at the time.

Does Captain Carrot and the Amazing Zoo Crew count?

First appearance of the Elementals

First issue of the Elementals. VERY hard to find in grade

I remember everyone drooling over Elementals back in the day.

 

I had a #1 copy signed by Willingham but sold it immediately thereafter at a local con back when it 1st came out.

 

In hindsight I'm not sure that the book was really that special..... or maybe that comicdom was just looking for the next hot creator and Elementals was it at the time.

firstly, i guess you didn't see my initial post with that ish in it.

 

secondly, you need to show the back cover so we can view the subject matter. i don't want to fish my copy out of whereever i have it stuck away
