TitleNotes
Scorpio Rose #3The 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.
