I was asked again why I do not do a mega crossover of all the obscure British super heroes I have catalogued.
Well, because we are talking modern -1970s-early 2000s- it cannot be done.Firstly, you need permission from the creators and most of those left zines a couple decades ago and although I have tried tracking some down for interviews I think it was only two I found. One had no interest in comics and said his zine (small press comic) was "just a Uni fad".
You cannot just take all of the characters and use them because they were created by and owned solely by one person. Even the 1970s characters, not used in 47 years could not really be used. I did try asking some of the creators at one time about producing a trade of their comic with all the sales cash going to them. No deal. "It was mine and it was of that time" and that ended the conversation although I have at least tried to keep the memories alive.
As it is I have so many stories with a LOT of characters but I don't think I have decades more to make them all come into print. No Stransky or Labbat, no Dilworth just poor old little me so what I can get out in print will have to be it but definitely NOT any more epics such as Return of the Gods and Green Skies.... I don't think!
Still working on trying to get you material. Sorry the last package didn't reach you. TTFN.
