>>103577708Thanks for the childhood flashback, remembering this title, along with Micronauts and Godzilla back in the day - all those Japanese toy tie-ins before Transformers came into play. The thing that I remember from all of these tie-ins at the time, along with Rom, Team America, and US1 was these were the last titles I saw on the 'rack/shelf' at the local drug store. As the 1980s rolled in, direct sales were all the rage, but my parents wanted none of it.
As for this title.. as I was longbox checking in the 1990s, saw that this title ended without an appearance of Spiderman, but with the Fantastic Four. As for the characters (Richard, Genji, Ilongo, Maur-Kon, Doctor Tambura, etc.), think none of them have ever been named checked for copyright. I do remember a crazy article in Wizard back in the day hyping up Doctor Demoncus (which was used in Godzilla as well as this title) as some sort of major villain right before the bankruptcy, but nothing came of that either. There was supposed to be some tie back with Red Ronin (Godzilla with some sort of tie to Shogun Warriors), but I think that got retcon'ed out.
Regardless, thanks for the memories anon...
