Echo of Futurepast is an American comic book/magazine series that was published by Continuity Comics from 1984 to 1986. It featured the comic book debut of Bucky O'Hare and the color debut of Torpedo . Aimed at the same audience as Heavy Metal and Epic Illustrated , ^[1] it carried a notice that it was recommended for mature audiences due to nudity, sexuality, and violence. Each issue featured stories by multiple authors, with a mix of original content and reprints and translations of stories featured in foreign comics anthologies. ^[1]

Publication history

First published in 1984, the first two issues didn't include a cover date. The series listed itself as being published bi-monthly starting in issue #3, and monthly starting in issue #9, though cover dates had gaps of as much as four months between issues; the series suffered from Continuity Comics' notorious inability to publish on schedule. ^[2]
