Defenders went at least 150 issues; I don't think that qualifies as a short run. My favorite short runs are Red Sonja, Iron Fist, Swamp-Thing Vol. 1, Promethea, Authority, Rog 2000, Captain Britain, Mr. Miracle, Flex Mentallo, Howard the Duck, Longshot, Planetary, Ms. Marvel., Super-Villain Team-Up, Warlock, Megaton Man, and Watchmen. Of course, most of those were not unpopular......

My favorite, shortest lived comic character is Zitman. Short lived in the extreme and painfully unpopular, Zitman graced the pages of a local Movie Fandom magazine for something like 2 or 3 issues and his story was never completed to anyone's satisfaction. I'm still wondering about the fate of Pete Pimple. Sadly the magazine and publisher have disappeared and it appears Zitman's future is fairly bleak.  |

The publisher passed away. The writer moved to Seattle last time I heard. I have no idea what has become of the artist of issue 1; I never knew him personally. He may have even been the guy who provided layouts for issues 2 and 3; the hack who drew those 2 issues was known for panel-swiping; look no further than that cover if you don't believe me!

Panel swiping or not it was epic. Besides if Rich Buckler can panel swipe it must be okay.

Yeah, but stealing from the King? Sounds like a good way to get beheaded.....

The King is dead. Long live the King.
