The first issue of Sentinels Of Justice was great! It's a shame AC only produced one issue with the Charlton characters since the title went rapidly downhill once they replaced the Charlton characters with AC characters.
I was a big fan of Hero Comics. I have a lot of their comics, including the featured one, and enjoyed them. They were fun, humorous, and didn't take things too seriously most of the time. I'm surprised you didn't make note of The Galloping Galooper, one of the most ridiculous and hilarious comic book characters ever. His name would make me laugh. Flare, on the other hand, got pretty serious and was quite popular and lasted for a long time. The characters would have made a great cartoon, too bad that didn't happen. They had that "Superfriends" feel.
The "Champions" is a lesson on Trademark law. "Use it or lose it" is part of it. Marvel had it in the mid-Seventies, then canceled the book. Some years later a publisher came out with their own "Champions" book and Marvel tried to stop them. A judge might have told them, "Dude! Did you forget that you've got a hero named "Captain Marvel? You must know that if you stop using a Trademarked name, it becomes "abandoned" and up for grabs. I'm eagerly awaiting for someone to take the abandoned name, "Twitter" soon.

@@richardscott3442 Hero Comics were just as good as DC or Marvel on the shelves.

I did some work on the Champion's book about 30 years ago.
@@TighelanderII that's very cool. Hero had the most solid and consistent art, production and stories of it's Indie contemporaries of it's time.
I hadn't thought about Captain Marvel for some reason and I'm glad you did. Perfect example you'd think they'd learn from.
