There was Carmine Infantino and Bill DuBay's Blackhawk mini-series, which was supposed to be published around 1984; but, DC decided not to do it. Gil Kane was originally supposed to do the Prisoner adaptation, according to Steve Engelhart, who was scripting it. Then, it went to Kirby, after a shift in EICs. Of course, this was killed by the DC Implosion...  There were a whole bunch of Lobo projects in the works, around 1992, which never came about. I was at the '92 HeroesCon and Joe Phillips and at least one or two others said they were doing a Lobo mini or one-shot. Tim Truman's Scout: Marauder is still MIA, though there has been recent talk of it maybe happening. Don't get me started on Miracleman: The Dark Age, since Neil still hasn't come back to finish The Silver Age. How long ago did Marvel announce that? I suspect Joey Q was talking out of some southern orifice. |

Still bummed we never got that Steve Englehart/John Buscema run on Silver Surfer. What year was this from? If it was from the 70s, I think I'd be way more interested in this than in Englehart's 80s Surfer series. of course, if it had come out in the 70s I probably would have read it at the time, since I was still into Marvel then. First I heard of this project, though. I wonder who the inker would have been. |

The late 80’s Englehart/Rogers Surfer series was originally supposed to be the Englehart/Buscema 12 issue series but it fell through. Though they did team up along with Jack Abel for the excellent one shot Surfer story in Marvel Fanfare #51 where he battles the Magog. Ahhhh, what could’ve been... |

Sometimes in the ‘80s I saw a blurb for something that would have been called (as I recall) Mighty Marvel Super Science, with the first issue titled “The cosmic egg”. It would apparebtly have been a popular science comic, no less.
Never heard of it again. Pity; the idea sounded interesting.

I think many books were scrapped by the DC implosion.

Starlin quit Marvel while he and Alan Weiss were working on Warlock #16. Here is a page from the pencils.  |

Marvel was preparing a comic called "Midas the Million Dollar Mouse" back when Howard the Duck was hot. The series was mentioned in F.O.O.M. and I believe Marv Wolfman was the writer. DC did some promotion for a comic called "Pandora Pan", which was being prepared by Len Wein and Ross Andru for release in 1982, sounded like it was going to be Lara Croft before Lara Croft, with an adventurous female archaeologist tracking down the evils she had unleashed after discovering and opening Pandora's box. The Amazing Heroes Preview Specials in the mid-80's cover lots of promising projects that were being prepared but which never materialized. I recall DC had in work a new, non-speeding Flash to replace the (then) late Barry Allen and a series for the Green Lantern character "The Image". Oh, and both Jack Kirby's and Gil Kane's versions of The Prisoner #1 are going to be collected and released in a large-scale hardcover original art facsimile version! |

John Byrne's "Freaks" was part of the History of the DC Universe Portfolio, but never, to my knowledge, appeared anywhere else.  |

Unused pages by Neal Adams. These pages were for a graphic novel that later became God Loves, Man Kills by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson.  |

  Dave Cockrum's Outsiders was a proposal for new characters, for the Legion, as well as some villains (which he caleld The Strangers). One of the characters, Starfire, became Wildfire, in the Legion, while reflecto later turned up, while Tyr, seen in the Strangers, would also later turn up in the Legion. You'll notice one very recognizable little guy there in the Outsiders: Nightcrawler. He was rejected as "too weird," and ended up going on to great fame in the X-Men. Meanwhile, the Strangers had a feral guy, called Wolverine, before a certain Canadian debuted, though he was rather different than Logan. The design did factor into Cockrum's redesign of Timber Wolf and in the character Fang, from the Shi'ar Imperial Guard (which was a Legion pastiche, from the start). |
