The Champions

A short-lived but fondly remembered revival from Australian publisher Yaffa/Page, The Champions (1980) ran for six issues, bringing together a rotating roster of Marvel’s most popular heroes. Written by Bill Mantlo with art by a powerhouse team of Gil Kane, Bob Hall, and Ernie Chan, the series offered brisk, action-packed adventures that captured the spirit of the original team-up concept. Though brief, it remains a distinctive oddity in the Champions' publication history, notable for its international release and the crisp, dynamic visuals from its all-star artistic lineup.
