Pizza Hut's The Real Heroes #2

-There were four issues, in total, of Marvel's Real Heroes. I only own #2, that I found at The Dirt Mall, and #3 (that I actually got AT Pizza Hut back in 1994).

#1 has The Thing, Black Panther, Jubilee, and Professor X in it.
#2 here is Wolverine, Hulk, Storm, and Namor.
#3 features Captain America, DareDevil, Falcon, and Wasp.
And #4 stars Spider-Man, Firestar, Ironman, and The Human Torch.

-Here's a commercial for them... that's blatantly ripping off Mr. Bill:

I wonder whatever happened to my plastic cup that came with it? -I'd forgotten all about it until I saw this...

#75 SPECIAL EDITION! COLLECTOR'S ITEM!!!

See previously: #1, #25, and #5 0!

Happy seventy-fifth-post, Mental Organisms!
I was recently reading Challengers of The Unknown #83-87, guest starring Swamp Thing, and Deadman- written by Gerry Conway, and penciled by Keith Giffen and Mike Nasser. I bought them at The Flea-Market last Summer for, I think, a buck an issue...
Kirby is KING but I've never really given a fuck about The Challengers; I picked these up because I do give a fuck about the guest-stars.
These issues came out before I was born: 1977, and despite the talent involved; they really read like an older comic. I mean, they're Bronze Age, but they feel like Silver...
