Comics
Unrealised projects
Title | Notes |
---|---|
Scorpio Rose #3 | The concluding issue of the mini-series was delayed[82] and never published in its original form. In 1988, Dean Mullaney told Amazing Heroes this was down to creative differences between Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers over the conclusion.[83] Englehart for his part would claim Rogers had other commitments and he chose to abandon the project, before eventually releasing further material as a back up in the Epic Comics version of Coyote.[84] |
Lum: Urusei Yatsura | A planned VIZ Communications co-production for 1988[85][57] before being stopped before any issues were published due to "circumstances beyond the control" of both parties.[86] VIZ would instead publish the series for the American market in 1989 without Eclipse's involvement.[87] |
Scout - Marauder | The planned third series of Timothy Truman's Scout story, mentioned in 1989 but never started.[88][89] Truman subsequently raised funds to continue the story via Kickstarter[90] |
Aztec Ace Time Tripper mini-series | Following the reappearance of Aztec Ace in Total Eclipse, Eclipse announced a three-issue mini-series by Doug Moench and Doug Heinlein to continue the story in 1991, but it never appeared.[23][26] |
Tachyon solo series | A solo series for New Wave member was planned, with an Interlude published in Total Eclipse #3 but no further news followed. |
Peter Pan and Wendy | A three-issue miniseries based on the J. M. Barrie characters. Written by Andy Mangels with art by Craig Hamilton and Rick Bryant, it was planned for Spring 1989 before being pushed back to Spring 1990.[91][92] According to Mangels, "the first issue (and part of the second) is finished, and I haven't given up hope that someday, it may see print".[93] |
Anxiety Times | A planned angst-themed bi-annual anthology, announced as featuring contributions from Don McGregor, Gene Colan, Gilbert Hernandez and Scott McCloud. No issues ever appeared.[25] |
Black Terror special | A one-shot follow-up to the 1989-1990 mini-series.[27] |
Gangland | Prospective crime series written by Beau Smith.[27] |
The Mists of Avalon | A graphic novel adaptation of Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel of the same name was announced;[94] it was later amended as a five-issue mini-series to be published in 1992, with fully painted art and a script by Sarah Byam. However it would not see print in either format.[23] |
Grimm's Fairy Tales | A planned quarterly title written by Franz Henkel. Planned to cover darker, lesser-known tales such as "Many-Furs" with a variety of artists including Dan Brereton and Mark Badger.[23] |
True Crime Comics Special #1 | The first issue of the series was planned to be about George Reeves but failed to appear; #2 was however published. #1 was intended to be in full colour and was delayed; Eclipse went out of business before the work was completed.[95] |
Miracleman #25-34 | Book Five - The Silver Age was due to conclude in Miracleman #25-28, with Book Six - The Dark Age in #29-34. Miracleman #25 was completed and #26-28 were plotted and scripted when the company collapsed. A revised version of The Silver Age has been published by Marvel Comics from 2022. |
Miracleman: Triumphant | A planned spin-off six issue mini-series set between Books Four and Five of the main Miracleman series, to be written by Fred Burke and drawn by Mike Deodato. The first issue was reputedly ready for printing when Eclipse folded. |
