Those early issues of Starbrand looked great, definitely. John Romita Jr. and Al Williamson could have adapted episodes of ALF and made it a compelling comic.

I had suspected the Doom Patrol "shout-out" but, at the time, had no
idea how big a DC guy Gruenwald was. Now, it seems almost
obvious!

I had a weakness for Spitfire and the Troubleshooters.

DP7 is the only New Universe title I followed and actively purchased. Every non-DP7 New Universe comic I had was either given to me or came in a grab bag I bought at conventions.
But things went sour once they did the destruction of Pittsburgh. Didn't like seeing characters getting drafted into the army, or what they did with Spitfire.

I wonder how many of you are aware that Mark coined the title DP7 as a little "salute" to the DOOM PATROL I read that somewhere years ago. I found it funny that he did that and he was able to work (with Paul Ryan as well) on Marvel's Justice League, the Squadron Supreme. I didn't know that he was such a huge DC fan at the time.

"Saturday, April 4, John Byrne hosted a party at his house in Connecticut, attended by several Marvel staffers and freelancers. In the backyard, a suit was stuffed with unsold issues of New Universe titles, a picture of Shooter’s face was affixed on the head, and the editor in chief of Marvel Comics was burned in effigy."
I am getting old-- and it was a long time ago-- but I might take acception with the use of the word "several". It seems to downplay how many people(staff and freelancers) were in attendance.

I think the effigy is hillarious. It's also a lot nicer than we were to one
of our old hated bosses when he got canned. We rigged a self
inflating military life raffed to go off when he opened his car door. The
best part was, we did it while he was cleaning out his desk. The bad
part was the unbelievable amount of damage an inflatable life raft can
do to a 700 series BMW. ( took out the front windshield and set off the
air bag!)
