Echo of Futurepast was an American comic book/magazine series that was published by Continuity Comics from 1984 to 1986. It featured the comic book debut of Bucky O'Hare and the color debut of Torpedo. Aimed at the same audience as Heavy Metal and Epic Illustrated,[1] it carried a notice that it was recommended for mature audiences due to nudity, sexuality, and violence. Each issue featured stories by multiple authors, with a mix of original content and reprints and translations of stories featured in foreign comics anthologies.[1]
Publication history
First published in 1984, the first two issues didn't include a cover date. The series listed itself as being published bi-monthly starting in issue #3, and monthly starting in issue #9, though cover dates had gaps of as much as four months between issues; the series suffered from Continuity Comics' notorious inability to publish on schedule.[2]
