Hero Illustrated

A lively, fan-focused magazine from the mid-1990s, Hero Illustrated ran for 20 issues under Warrior Publications, offering a colorful mix of comic news, interviews, and features. Primarily written and drawn by the prolific Greg Hyland, it captured the zeitgeist of the era’s booming direct market with a playful, insider tone. While not a traditional comic series, it remains a fondly remembered snapshot of the industry’s early Image-era energy.
