Hero Alliance

Hero Alliance, published by Innovation from 1989 to 1991 across 17 issues, reimagined the superhero team as a struggling, media-savvy franchise grappling with real-world consequences. Written primarily by David Campiti, Robert M. Ingersoll, and Faye Perozich, with art from Michal Dutkiewicz, Mike Witherby, and Rik Levins, the series stood out for its grounded, character-driven take on super-powered politics and public relations during the late-80s indie boom. It matters as a thoughtful, pre-Watchmen deconstruction that explored the business and ethics of heroism without losing its sense of fun.
