Besides his four flagship magazines, James Warren also published a couple of short-lived titles and a series of one-shots like this one from 1966, ON THE SCENE PRESENTS SUPER HEROES. Warren and Richard Conway were editors and Harry Chester's "Way Out Layouts" were toned down for a more conventional look in this 'zine. Batman and Robin, Superman, Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Capt. Marvel and Captain America are all featured and are all reprinted from either SCREEN THRILLS ILLUSTRATED or SPACEMEN.
The real reason for throwing this one-shot together was to promote their "Exclusive First Photos" of the Adam West/Burt Ward BATMAN movie which would be released on July 30, 1966.
Oh, and you get 15 pages of Warren's Captain Company ads as an extra-special bonus.
Thanks for sharing this mag. I've always wanted to read it. Looking forward to Part 2.
ReplyDeleteI wish the articles had a little more meat to them, but brevity in text and lots of photos were the Warren way.
