Champions

From 1987 to 1988, Heroic Publishing launched Champions, a 12-issue superhero series based on the popular role-playing game. Written primarily by Dennis Mallonee and illustrated by a rotating team including Chris Marrinan, Dell Barras, and Walt Davis, the comic brought a team of original costumed heroes to life with a bright, action-oriented flair. It stands as a notable early example of a licensed game-to-comic adaptation that carved its own distinct identity rather than simply retelling game sessions.
