Whenever Adams does work that he doesn't write, it is a quality project. The writing on First X-Men was credited to Neal Adams and Christos Gage. |

Amazing High Adventure (5 issue mini series circa 1984) I don't think Amazing High Adventure was intened to be a mini series. There was a gap of about a year between the first two issues, followed by a similar gap, then another three issues were published monthly, then it was cancelled. |

Best mini-series ever for me: One of the few Kirby books I haven't read. You think it is really good then? |

Well, we’re all biased. I used to play with Kenner’s Super Powers toys, and the series did feature some of my favourite characters. I like the overwhelming odds the DC heroes faced in the series, and with the exception of one issue, the art really appeals to me. Give it a go!

In the mid-80's to late 80's/early 90's G.I. Joe was ridiculously popular... on second thought (courtesy of the movie Spaceballs) G.I. Joe was LUDICROUS in popularity. And Snake Eyes and eventually Storm Shadow as well were very popular and their popularity was off-the-rictor-scale. I remember these two issues couldn't even be purchased as they cleared the stands, and Marvel ended up doing second printings and I believe a third printing as well.   And it was cool to have two different masters train them (The Hardmaster and The Softmaster). And it became an ongoing long sub-plotline that fans followed in the comic books for years where eventually the two find out it was Zartan who murdered their teacher, The Hardmaster. And when Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow form an alliance to bring Zartan to justice was a topic kids would talk about in grade school. I mean after all there was no internet or cell phones. The ones that could afford the computers at the time usually purchased the Commodore 64, and if the parents were upper-middle class, then it would be the Commodore 128 which was more expensive. There was still the Atari 2600 and I forgot what the other 4-digit Atari video game console was. And of course Colleco-vision. Nintendo would eventually debut and take over the video game market. Of course, the commodore 64 and 128 had their niche of kids sharing many video games via copied floppy discs as well. Hence comic books and morning and afternoon cartoons basically still had the kids' attention primarily as entertainment. |

I'm glad mrp mentioned Amethyst because then I suddenly remembered the mini-series I liked from grade school.
 
This looks like something connected to Bug of the Micronauts, and the art by Steve Geiger sure looks a a lot like former Micronauts artist Jackson Guice to me... was there any connection to Micronauts/Guice I wonder? Looks fun, maybe something else to add to the 'maybe want' list with Amethyst. I guess the first mini-series I remember buying was Marvel's three issue Contest Of Champions. Then I think I got Untold Batman as back-issues followed by Wolverine and Hercules' first mini-series when they came out. Maybe the best intended as a limited number series I ever saw at the time were Camelot 3000, the first Cloak & Dagger one, and America Vs. The Justice Society, although both Hercules mini series were a lot of fun. I wanted to like the Jack Of Hearts one more than I did, and The Falcon and Shadow War Of Hawkman started good but ended up more forgettable. |
