Continuing our look back at the AMAZING HEROES PREVIEW SPECIAL for 1985.
I don’t believe that GALAXY COMICS ever saw the light of day, but I may be wrong about that.
Along the same lines, I’m not sure that HANG ON FOR ADVENTURE was ever released.
WEST COAST AVENGERS lost the HAWKEYE AND THE by the time it came out. And like the previous two books spoken about by Galaxy Comics, I don’t recall that HEARTTHROBS: EVERY WOMAN’S FANTASY OF LOVE ever made it to the stands.
HERO was eventually released, but not for a number of years and with some changes to the creative team along the way, I believe.
Neither KAYO DAKERTY nor KNIGHT GUARDIAN were ever published.
This LOIS LANE project was eventually released as two oversized issues rather than four regular-sized ones.
After a single issue. MACROSS was rebranded as ROBOTECH: THE MACROSS SAGA, so as to more closely tie in with the animated show then in syndication. And I believe MALLIMALOU was a no-show on the comic book racks.
The Tom Brevoort Experience 
I think some of the Galaxy Comics stuff may have turned up in TALES FROM THE EDGE from Vanguard a few years later, but don’t quote me on that!

“Kristy” ended being called “Meet Misty” for Marvel’s Star Comics. And was never seen again AFAIK

As always, it’s most interesting to read about the plans that didn’t come to fruition, or else reached the books in altered form.
Apparently Steve Englehart’s plans to use the Privateer in Green Lantern, fell by the wayside, although the character eventually came back in the pages of Suicide Squad during the Millennium crossover, after which John Ostrander and Kim Yale then revamped into a new version of Manhunter who worked as a bounty hunter.
David Ross didn’t end up becoming the new penciller of Infinity Inc. as planned, and AFAIK didn’t even draw a fill-in issue. The job instead went to the young artist identified here as “Todd McFarling.”
I also don’t recall anything about Steel’s transformation in the JLA leaving him stuck at the age of 19 forever, but I haven’t read every issue of the Detroit years. Perhaps that was just something that Gerry Conway wasn’t able to get to before he left the book.
It’s also interesting to read Paul Levitz’s plans for the Legion of Super-Heroes knowing how thoroughly the aftermath of Crisis and the removal of Superboy and Supergirl from the team’s history will derail that book.
