Weird Heroes

Over two oversized issues from Pyramid Books in the mid-1970s, Weird Heroes collected new stories and reprints from the likes of Edmond Hamilton and Alex Niño, the latter of whom also provided the art. A showcase for genre-bending science fiction and fantasy, the series gathered work by a rotating cast of creators, with Niño’s distinctive, detailed illustrations serving as a visual anchor. It stands as a curious artifact of the era’s willingness to experiment with anthology formats outside the major publishers.
