Once Upon a Time...
...there was a "high-concept" TV series about comic book characters entering the "real" world!
It was so kool that Stan Lee was scheduled to do a cameo appearance, and even wrote the intro for the comic book adaptation...
Well, that was the plan...
To Be Continued Tomorrow at Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!
Adapted from Dusty Kaye's screenplay by J M DeMatteis and illustrated by Steve Leialoha, Marvel's Captain Justice #1 (1988) took the 90-minute pilot episode and converted it into a two-issue mini-series.
Though Leialoha tried to differentiate the two-dimensional comic world from the three-dimensional real world with simplified linework and almost no solid black areas in the backgrounds for the comic dimension, the technological limitations of printing at that time minimalized his effectiveness!
(For example, using a coarser Lichetenstein-style dot screen for the colors in the comic book world would've enhanced the visual difference tremendously!)
