    Here's an ebay auction where the 100-page book is referred to as 'Super Sampler' instead of 'Super Spectacular.'

    Comic book is assembled kind of strange with some of the comics upside down?

    Condition is good, but the semi hard cover has a wave from improper storage, no tears.

    Collectible comic book.

    HERO GRAPHICS SUPER SPECTACULAR #1 (Jul 1992)
    I think the cover accompanying Mile High Comics' listing for Southern Knights #35 at 76853690294%2035 is actually the cover to Hero Graphics Super Spectacular.

    As seen in your checklist listing, as well as the listing at www.comics.org the cover of Southern Knights #35 does NOT have the heading "They're back! With George Perez!", while the Mile High Comics listing clearly DOES have it. Hero Graphics Super Spectacular was published before Southern Knights #35, so it makes sense for it to have the heading; after all, the original plan was to have George provide interior art for SK #35. Since George's schedule didn't permit him to contribute interiors for SK #35, I presume the heading was removed upon SK #35's publication.

    The reason why I'm not referring to this pre-SK #35 book as Southern Knights/Hero Graphics Super Sampler #35 (as listed in The Perez Archives) is because of the apparent 'official' title seen in its solicitation and resolicitation copies from What's New (attached). Based on the solicitation copy for Hero Graphics Super-Spectacular #1 from What's New (for items shipping March '92), and especially the description of its contents in the resolicitation from What's New (for July '92-shipping items), it's reasonable to assume this is the same book described in The Perez Archives. While it's listed in the Hero Graphics section of the Archives as 'Super Sampler' instead of 'Super Spectacular,' its contents description in the Archives matches up with the contents description in the resolicitation copy. As far as the cover artist mentioned in the solicitation copies - either the Tim Burgard cover was scrapped in favor of George's cover art, or the variants mentioned in the Archives listing have variant covers to go with the variant interiors.

    I hope anyone ordering Southern Knights #35 from www.milehighcomics.com isn't sent the Hero Graphics Super Spectacular instead, since the only part of SK #35 that's included in (or ON) the Super Spectacular is the cover!

    Mile High Comics does have a listing for Hero Graphics Super-Spectacular (without a cover scan) at 40100432708&snumber=1
