Heroic Tales

A short-lived but ambitious 10-issue series from Lone Star Press, Heroic Tales (1997–2000) was a creator-owned anthology that showcased the writing of Bill Williams and the art of Robb Phipps. The series offered a rotating cast of original heroes and villains, weaving together standalone adventures and ongoing narratives in a shared universe. While it never achieved mainstream fame, it stands as a notable example of the independent comics boom of the late 1990s, capturing the era's DIY spirit and enthusiasm for fresh superhero concepts.
