Picked up a few different titles as part of a group at an auction years ago.

Interesting covers.

I bought a slew of them off the rack, and must have about a quarter of a longbox of them. I remember that at first there was some hope that the company would succeed, since it had a fair number of well known creators working for it. Unfortunately, neither story quality nor sales lived up to the original enthusiasm.

 

Here's a Chaykin book that I bought back in the day and really liked:

The back story of what went on is much more interesting then the comics they published.

I have many of these books. All reading copies. When I am at cons, I do look for high-grade issues but I never find any. I watch the two 9.8 Planet of the Vampires #1 (Adams cover) on eBay. They never sell because the guy wants around $250. There is a nice 9.4 copy for $79.

Watch out these are akin to fools gold. I've been hoarding high grade copies for a very long time and still no price appreciation! Arts good stories not so much. Their Vicki title (bit of an Archie knockoff) is by far the rarest and most collectible.

I want nice high-grade copies of some of my fav covers. I don't care what their value is. For example, I have some 9.6s of some of my fav DC bronze age books that have little value or have not really appreciated much, but I love them. Freedom Fighters #1 (9.6) (I have the entire set in very high grade) Rima: the jungle girl #1 (9.6) Beowulf #1 (9.6) Sandman #1 (9.6) (Kirby)

I was buying these off the stands. It was nice to see a new company enter the market.

 

My favorite title was Planet of Vampires. Was sad when #4 didn't come out as things were looking grim for the protagonists.

 

Here is the unpublished cover to Planet of Vampires #4 by Pablo Marcos.

The story in the first issue of the Brute robs the storyline scene for scene from the 1970s film "Trog" starring Joan Crawford. At least in the beginning of the movie and how he is discovered in the cave.
