"No, it doesn't have Alexandra Bastedo, Stuart Damon, and William Gaunt. It's about Hercules, Black Widow, and two ex-X-Men." <br /><br />E-Man had a small following, but evidently not enough to sustain it. First Comics and Comico later tried revivals, but they never lasted very long. (Although First did manage to put out about two dozen new issues, plus a seven-issue mini-series reprinting the Charlton run.)<br /><br />That Shazam issue had him fighting a troublesome leprechaun, IIRC. I liked DC's tongue-in-cheek approach to Captain Marvel (and Plastic Man), but most comics fans wanted their super heroes played straight. And fans of tongue-in-cheek action-adventure in other media (e.g., James Bond movies) did not read comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-73560162926135514442014-07-25T05:41:19.371+01:002014-07-25T05:41:19.371+01:00A comic with the Ghost Rider AND the Black Widow i...A comic with the Ghost Rider AND the Black Widow in it makes perfect sense to me!<br /><br />The other three though...not so much.

Ghost Rider was supposed to be a hell-spawned spirit of vengeance and the most unlikely team member you could think of - throw in two redundant X-Men, a second-rate Thor substitute and the Black Widow as the female one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
