Champions Annual

A short-lived annual from Heroic Publishing, this series ran for only two issues in the late 1980s, written by Dennis Mallonee with art by Chris Marrinan. It offered a spotlight for the publisher's stable of superheroes, providing a larger-scale story outside the regular monthly titles. Though brief, it stands as a snapshot of Heroic's ambitious attempt to carve out its own corner of the comic book landscape during the era of independent publisher growth.
