    Dc/Marvel Amalgam customs??

    I had this original series back in the 90s where DC and Marvel battled each other and the unvealing of the parallel universes and they co-exist and then split up and then the revealing of the infamous "Amalgam".
    I was missing an issue and so I picked up the graphic novel to refresh my memory. A lot of cool Amalgam conscepts. I like Dr. Strange fate.



    The first Amalgam event occurred near the end of the Marvel vs. DC crossover event in 1996. The first twelve Amalgam titles were released in a single week, temporarily replacing both publishers' regular releases. Half the comics in the event were published by Marvel and half by DC.

    A year later, the stunt was repeated, but without the crossover as background. Later, both publishers collected their issues into trade paperback collections.

    In the 24 Amalgam Comics printed, one-third of those printed included letter-columns by fictitious fans to give a larger background to the stories and to help give hints of what might happen in the next issue. The "fans'" hometowns were usually fusions of existing American cities.

    Has anyone made any of these as far as Mego customs??
    Or made a Mego type character based on Amalgam customs? I am just curious.

    The Super Soldier


    Lobo the Duck


    Spiderboy

    I made Super-Soldier. Charlee used it as a guide to the one he did that was featured in ToyFair. I had done boxes for him for the main 6 (Dark Claw, Super-Soldier, Amazon, Speed Demon, Dr. StrangeFate, Spider-boy). They were all on his to-do list but only Super-Soldier got done.

    Oh, and I have all the Amalgam Comics.

          I made Darkclaw years ago. It's what got ToyFare to hire me. I have Super Soldier on my long list as well. They sent me Charlee's SS as reference for how they wanted me to make DareDevil.

                        I seem to remember a Gambit/Nightwing mix in the DarkClaw the Animated Series issue they did.

                            The whole amalgam thing bored me to death. I never got into it at all.
