Issue Notes

One of the second (6/97) batch of Amalgam comics, which hybridized lots of DC and Marvel characters (i.e. Dr. Strangefate). Each issue is really a one-shot, but they're presented as if part of a real comics line with an established continuity.

Comic is done in the animated style of Batman Adventures.

Dark Claw is a mash-up of Batman and Wolverine.
