Heroes (London Editions Magazines) Vol 1

Heroes was a short lived DC Comics British reprint title published by London Editions Magazines from March 7th 1991 to April 25th 1991 (just eight weekly issues). A companion title to LEM's already existing Superman and Batman Monthly titles, but aimed at a generally younger age group, it cost 50p and featured reprints of American material from the DC Comics titles Blue Devil, Legion of Super-Heroes and The Brave and the Bold (starring Batman, teamed with various other characters including the Metal Men, the Flash, Batwoman and the Robin and Huntress of Earth Two. The first three issues contained free gifts in the form of three sets of two postcards featuring the classic Silver Age Legion of Super-Heroes. Sadly, the title was not successful despite the varied and fun content, possibly because it focused on stories from an earlier era than LEM's other DC reprint titles which were not entirely compatible with the other books or with the then prevailing trend for grim'n gritty superhero stories.
