Continuity Comics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Continuity Comics was an American short-lived independent comic book company formed by Neal Adams in the 1980s.

It mainly published a variety of super-hero comics developed by Adams. These comics were grittier than the mainstream Marvel or DC Comics of their day, often depicting bloody, graphic violence. In one issue of the Armor comic the title character has his hand chopped off and then the appendage is destroyed in a blender.

During the "variant cover" craze, Continuity got into Tyvex (marketed as "indestructable") and die-cut covers, crossovers (Deathwatch 2000 and Rise of Magic), and the like. The line was cancelled during the Rise of Magic crossover in 1993. Several more recent titles and characters wound up being published by others. Samuree, Valeria and Knighthawk would be published by Acclaim's Windjammer line. Ms. Mystic first appeared under Pacific Comics line. The line received much criticism from comics retailers (particularly columnist Brian Hibbs) for its inability to ship its product on time or according to schedule.
