I was looking at BACK ISSUE on e-bay, and saw this one:

 Quote:
Back Issue Magazine (2003) 46 VF 8.0

This issue spotlights 'The Greatest Stories Never Told,' loaded with rare and previously unpublished art!

Mike Grell reveals how his 'Savage Empire' strip became DC Comics' The Warlord.
Danny Fingeroth and Al Milgrom open the vault to reveal pages from the aborted Fantastic Four graphic novel Fathers and Sons.
And we go beyond John Byrne's Last Galactus Story.

Bret Blevins on The Wolf Man - Dark Horse's Universal Monsters one-shots had one conspicuously missing monster;
Miracleman Triumphant - Fred Burke, Mike Deodato and Jason Temujin Minor lament this Eclipse Comics casualty.


BACK ISSUE, COMIC BOOK ARTIST, THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR, and other stuff from Two Morrows, have given the background on many of these "lost" stories, some of which were planned, and others that were fully produced and never published.

WARLOCK 16 by Starlin (1976), THE CAT # 5 (1973), and Byrne's "The Last Galactus Story" (1986), are ones I'd like to see.

Grell does a nice --and quite funny-- overview of how "Savage Empire" became WARLORD (1975), in his introduction to the WARLORD trade collection of the first 12 issues, in the 1991 collected WARLORD: SAVAGE EMPIRE.

The Englehart/Rogers Batman series in DETECTIVE almost moving to Star Reach also sounds interesting.

They basically did the same thing with MADAME XANADU when they moved the series (under another name) to Eclipse as SCORPIO ROSE in 1983. I never knew they thought about doing the same with Batman. They must have been plenty ticked off at DC!
