So here I go with a special showcase that I presented in over in the General Topics Section a while back but I kept on thinking I should have put it in My
Odds & Ends and well after that amount of time I'm finally doing it
Yes, it's
Broadway Comics, one of My favorite
comic companies and one of course that nobody talks about as it has fallen to this Limbolic era which I really, really dislike. So what your going to see here is My original showcase via a quote then after that some
new materiel just for this presentation. I'm one of the so very few people that does what i do, heck possibly even the only one which is very pathetic how this age has become to show the past whether it was great or not. So these are some of My most favorite
comics of ever of all-time starting with My quote

FATALE 
She is one of My most favorite comic book babes of ever, of all-time
OK, so first off, I originally posted this topic way back
2013 with only 1 reply from somebody that doesn't even post here anymore! I originally thought that this topic was gonna be a top one but it got lost the shuffle for many years until now all thanks to Me
I had edited My first posts as I believe the pics needed to be updated and it needed a few tweeks here and there so I suggest you go there first then come back right here because there is gonna be some great stuff to behold!
Here's the the
Broadway Logo and it's founder, the legendary
Jim Shooter 
Here is all of the history to know so click dem links below!
Here is Broadway's WIKIPEDIA PAGE to find out all the info!To find out all of the info go here!So if you went back and seen it, you already know that I originally discovered
Fatale in the
January 1996 WWF Magazine that I got in
December of 1995! It was an ad of one of My most fave pics of her which I will talk about in a bit. When I first saw her I thought oh My gosh, she's incredible! I was only going on 15 but gosh, decades have gone by and I still love her
I have always thought for decades it pays so much to be into wrestling because you'll notice so many things and if your not then I can't help you there. Here is the front & back covers of the mag. Pics are not mine, just edited
First, I have a huge collection of
WWF & WCW magazines but their in storage and really hard to get to. Wow, I loved that magazine, the feel of it and everything
1990 - 1996 was such great years for those especially
95-96. Oh and them
Karate Fighters by
Hasbro. I got them when they first came out. I remember that they were the
WWF's sponsor for many months and I may showcase them in
My Great Vintage Action Figure Topic whenever I get to the
90s.
This is the pic that got Me attention 100%
I had seen many classy & hot women in DC & Marvel among other comics before but she was 1 of a kind to/for Me
A while later when I was doing My research here & there after her second comic, I saw her third issue and I was absolutely wowed with her cover with this one
So technically she was introduced in 1995 but was officially introduced in
1996...25 years ago...this year OK, if you clicked the links then you'll know who
Desirée Hopewell is and what
Broadway was. I must say she was My fave but she wasn't the only hot & awesome one however
Also, in the comics, they did advertise
WWF Magazines & WWF In Your House PPVs! plus great video games
Here is a few pics of her within the comics
I really digged the
Babes of Broadway. It was the
90s particularly 96, things were changing, I was changing, and women were changing and this book was a treat that clearly showed that!
I digged Fatale's arch-nemesis
Layil Ogun, yeah, she was a true bad @$$ and was also a hottie!
So, I wanted to show off My entire collection of
Broadway Comics that I got long ago. During My pics I will commentate just a bit here. NOTE: I do not have the hardcover version as it was very expensive & hard to get
1ST EVER Broadway Comics & The Babes of Broadway: yep, that's the one and
Babes of Broadway is so cool. I loved
Blood S.C.R.E.A.M. Darn shame they never made a second edition of
B.O.B.!
Shadow State: Yep, the first ones!
Fatale: Desirée's own story arch which she originally appeared in the
Shadow State series! Her stories were so fun to read and of course to look at. She was such a playful yet dangerous beauty
Star Seed: Unfortunately the overall story arc of
Shadow State and
The Powers that Be was basically over as they chose
Star Seed as their last major character which is such a shame
The Knights of Broadway: This was the last they ever published. Because of poor sales & criticism,
Broadway went under fast and had only existed about a year or so, I have thought this was so pathetic and disgusting that this happen
BONUS!Black & White editions: Even though these were the same ones I already had, I had to get these promo titles and they gave Me an extra #1 of
Fatale so I have a duplicate of that one
So there you have it. It always pains Me about the demise of
Broadway. I supported them all the way but what can you do
These comics are just one of the many countless things that was great in the
90s that I miss. The
comics were so great in detail, story and quality. The covers were shiny & raised. The women were awesome to look at & could kick @$$ all the same...in fact IMO the women of the
90s real & fictional are My favorites of any decade!
OK, that's it. So there is the
25th Anniversary of
Fatale plus bonus stuff as I showcased in My collection. If your just now looking at this then please go back to the beginning cuz if you don't your not gonna get the excitement of this comic presentation. I hope you enjoyed this. Comments please and thanks for looking
So there's that and that should have been quite wowing for at least somebody. Now I'm going to take a good gander at some selections of these fine, extremely underrated & unappreciated
comics so get ready for another wild ride
This was actually
Fatale's first appearance and arguably the best she looked. These really rocked as like I said before, the best looking women were in the
90s and that goes for all media & platforms including
Comics Also notice
Jim Shooter, the man that left
Marvel to create his own company which was
Broadway Comics give's "his word" there in a special forward. As always click My pictures for massive details
This came out in
December, 1995 and I recall that like it was yesterday. Look how wonderful she looks there and there's a look at
Overstreet's Fans on the
back Cover 
This was her second appearance and boy she was great here
I just loved how she'd tease and stuff. She was so remarkable with his big assets then and she is still smoking hot now
Notice at the bottom right, it says
Fatale #1 is on sale now so by this time she got her own
Comic series and man-o-man it was a dandy to say the least
So now moving on to
Till Death Do Us Part. First there's a skit by comedian
Jeff Jones. We see
Wendi Hickenbottom who is really hot looking. Soon she grows and becomes
Afterglow and her boyfriend
Zach says how weird this is and he runs away into
Superion whom is her true love. I loved how realistic it was when she changed with her bikini coming off because it was now too small for her. That's one thing they could have done with
The Incredible Hulk and especially
She-Hulk but of course they didn't. I'm always for realism and this is still great in My book
I love
Afterglow's physique, she has some really great boobs
Also it's really cool how he got rid of
Zach as well I mean when he hit the concrete it was fatality time
Here's a special
Your Word Section with a bit of
Desirée Hopewell. I love her look with the
tank top bra & jean shorts, that's a look that seriously needs to come back now as it was such a cool fashion for women
Here's an
Advertisement for
Fatale #1 in
January, 1996. Gosh that was such a great time. now as I mentioned earlier, I first found about this in the
January 96 WWF Magazine. Well, there was some
WWF Advertisements within these very fine
Comics. It was so cool during these times as two very different worlds were coming together but hey, this was
late 95 - 96, the
WWF was getting edgier and still people aren't seeing how it was before the
Attitude Era just like
Broadway Comics is so obscure but with such a low amount of people like Myself actually doing things like trying to prevent this great stuff falling even further in Limbo and trying to help it return, people can look back and see so much good stuff that they missed
Now one of the
Advertisements was for subscribing to
WWF Magazine. I just loved these days of
WWF Magazine and as plain as this
ad appears with My favorite
WWF Logo of all, it's actually arguably the funnest
WWF Magazine Ad that they made IMO
Now they also
Advertised WWF on
America Online/AOL for
Early/Mid 1996. This was one of the sole purposes I wanted to join
AOL. When I saw these
ads I thought it was so radical and next level material which indeed it was. The year of change
1996 was really when I got back into
PCs and things really changed since I last used
Computers. One thing about today's society is that it really lacks like people My age that they don't talk about their first experiences with the
Web and talk about the old
Net. I mean last year I deeply expressed how it was for Me about
Peer-to-Peer Sharing in My great
Composer Topic and it's like nobody knows what that was. I see so very few videos & people talking about
Napster, WinMX, BearShare, TCP among other stuff and I'm like has all of this fallen in Limbo plus it's not good for this Generation of all of the things they could know from the past
See, when people don't talk about stuff and do things about it...that's what happens and that is what I've been trying to prevent from happening within My great Topics
So the options here was
Trivia, TV Zone, Main Screen & Shop. I liked how they chose
Jim Cornette, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Jake" The Snake" Roberts & Shawn Michaels which still to this day I adore how this whole setup was designed...such classic
Internet times
Also I love the
Beyond the Pages because you got an inside look before the actual magazine hit the
newsstands and putting magazines on the web wasn't an option as stuff like that digitally really wasn't even a thought yet
That's a really good iconic picture of
HBK from his "boyhood dream coming true" at
WWF Wrestlemania 12. Also I really like the picture they chose of
Marlena because I had a crush on her as much as I did
Sunny 
That
Bodyslammin' Gallery was so exciting because I loved looking at the pics & video clips but most of all listening & downloading
Wrestling Themes. That was arguably the biggest and most exciting part of this whole time on
WWF on
AOL for Me. In fact since I was already a movie score listener veteran by this time, this became an added hobby for Me because like I said before, there is little to no difference in a movie soundtrack & movie score and wrestling themes..if you can hear a wrestler's theme in the background...you can hear the musical score in a film or vice versa...it's always been that way with Me
Of course I expanded to get other wrestling themes on the web like from
WCW & ECW and
Independents. It was quite fun really for many years and the days that we know of
YouTube really only happen about a decade ago or so with the big bang of Social Media in the tone down year of
2011, cause in the mid to late 2000s
YT was very different place and not about likes, subs and making money. Really I miss the old days of the web and again, people really needs to starting talking about it once more because I'm only one person. There's the
Phone Number and the
1996 Copyright Yes, it says "you had better be prepared and call for 15 Free Hours"...times were quite different back then but they good
So now we're going to have a brief look at
Fatale #1 with that awesome raised
front Cover that came out in
January, 1996. I always say that
1996 was a year of change but it was starting before that and there's
Overstreet's Fans with a hot looking set of legs in high-heels during a blue hot night
Here's a great look at various selections throughout the
Fatale-Inherit the Earth Series, Here's a close look at
Desirée Hopewell in her very hot looking
silk nightgown doing one of the great things she knows how to do and that is...fighting
I've always loved this look about her...she's still one of the hottest female comic characters ever seen IMO
After she recovers she's in bed looking even hotter
She's into more fighting and look, she's wearing those custom cut blue jean shorts. I've said it before, gosh I miss that look on women now...that is one of so many things that is lacking in this modern pathetic day & age
There's a lot that is kinda random here that I selected that is kind of out of order but it still looks mighty darn decent
I love this picture of
Hopewell, she is so awesome. Here's a great look at her nemesis
Ogun. She's a beauty too. She's blonde with shorter hair, more slender but she is busty as well as in great shape. The
90s had such great looking blond women
She's insane and wants all the power to herself to fulfill her immortality
I love how she is shown nude here in the shadows, only one of the many reasons why I love this series and
Broadway Comics in general
Here's a great look at
Hopewell kissing her love as this is how she becomes one of the most powerful forces ever known
She looks terrific in her army clothing..I love a huge boobed babe in military gear
Here she is displaying her great
Martial Arts skills and looking great in a long white buttoned shirt
Here's a
Word from
Jim Shooter then
Layil is getting ready to sacrifice
Desirée and while she is successful..the power of the
Dragon was too much and just like that
Hopewell is resurrected and ends her battle with the hot villainess
It's time for her to
"Inherit the Earth". Now here's a very bittersweet
Advertisement with her pointing her finger like "come over here"
It's an order form to get all of the
Fatale Comics. It says they were hard to find even then
Smash is there as it was your first
Web Magazine. Now if you seen My fantastic restoration of
BijoiuFlix whom were the first streamers online before streaming was even a thing here within this very crucial
Odds & Ends then you know how important it is for Me to show how things once was that nobody ever talks about anymore in this distantly lacking society because without these forerunners this great digital age would be nothing without them
One day I hope this generation & kids today will understand this. Now if this wasn't bad enough, the deadline of ordering these was on
November 6, 1996...sadly
Broadway Comics was already out of businesses
Little did they know that was going to happen
I hope that I wasn't the only one that ever appreciated the sheer beauty of their
comics and pure fun that they brought overall
So here's an
Ad for a FREE
Newsletter which unfortunately I never was able to participate in. Here's another look at the
WWF AOL Ad and even the
SNES Game of
Todd McFaralne's Spawn by
Acclaim. I look back on how darn cool all of this was and I'm like man-o-man, how times are now
Like I've said before many times, the
90s had some of the most absolute best comic art and of course some of the most stunning women as you've just seen above
Now this is arguably My favorite issue of them all and the most anticipated to showcase because it's
The Babes of Broadway 
The
front Cover is just remarkable with
Desirée "Fatale" Hopewell on it. I just love her pose showing her wonderful skin wearing her red lingerie-esque bikini but still wearing her gauntlets. She has wonderful hands with red fingernail polish on. She looks like she would fit right in with
Duke Nuke 3D that came out the very same year of
1996 Shame that never had a chance of happening
Next is an
ad for
Robert M. Overstreet's Comic Book Price Guide from
Gemstone Publishing with
Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, NIghtwing, The Terminator & Dr. Doom then there's the
Index with them women that made this possible
This came out in
May, 1996 and was only
$2.95. Really IMO this should have cost more than that because the
Cover feels so good and the artwork is so darn cool as this is like a superb edition
Now I'm not going to show the entire
book but I will show most of the great stuff
First off there's an
ad that
Broadway Comics is going to the
Chicago Comicon. I hope there was some good fans there really appreciated them as much as I do because
Broadway Comics was almost there to hangup their short-lived tenure of a great comic company of not even being in existence a year...that is way, WAY too short in My book I mean if you met these people that created these awesome comics and was able to get their merchandise from them in person...that was one heck of a milestone there so again I hope them people that went there still tell their stories today of how radical that was then
Next up is a very special section with two of the
Editors whom are both female. I spoke how remarkable the
front Cover is...well whats even more so is what their talking about the differences in
Pinups and that it all has to do with
Attitude Now this is
1996, the year of change. When I say that I really don't think people know where I'm coming from. I know there's people out there that don't pay attention to the details no matter what the size they are but I've always been a very observant person and over time I've learned you gotta pay attention to things far more then ever before. So keep in mind of the all of the
WWF I showed from the beginning of this great showcase till the end here. By this time
The New Generation was in it's last days really because
WCW was getting ready to bring the very first times of the
The Attitude Era with the
nWo. It just wasn't in wresting...movies were changing and as I said before about
Twister & ID4, women was really changing...sure they were starting when the great year of
1990 was a-go but they slowly were getting there especially in the great year of
1995. Sports, Video Games, Music and more was changing.
Metallica even came with a song on their superbly fun
Re-Load called
Attitude in
1997 before the name of
The Attitude Era was even coined and the guitar of
Carpe Diem sounds like the
DX Theme What I'm saying is
The Attitude Era IMO is just not in
wrestling, it was all over the place starting in
96 and
Broadway Comics was the first that I noticed talking about
"Attitude" and if these women see how today's pathetic androgynous modern era has become, I'm sure they would be ashamed and never thought it would be this way like an alternate reality
So the first entries here is
Afterglow who's almost seven feet all and four hundred pounds of beauty. Like I said before she has wonderful breasts that are shaped really good but heck even before she became this ultimate babe,
Wendi looked fine at five-foot-five and one hundred, twenty-five pounds then and her boobs weren't that small either
Next up is her superbabe group called
Blood S.C.R.E.A.M. which they are
Afterglow, Sacristy & Harlotte. They are totally awesome women. Their enemies are lead by
the Dominator which is called
The Dominatrixes. All six of them women looks fantastic and I really like all of these extreme babes
Here's
Emerald, she's a stripper that is making money for her crippled son. While she doesn't like her profession, she a great one and has one heck of a great look with her big boobs & thick body
Here's
Natalie Cushlin which is one of
Fatale's foes. She's got a fine physique and is very slender but in great shape
Ah now here we go with
Layil Ogun who I featured earlier. She is
Hopewells nemesis and wants the
Dragon Spirit all for herslef seen above. I love this picture of how dangerously sexy she is
Now this is My favorite of all...here's
Desirée Hopewell. I love how she's looking at the viewer with her beautiful green eyes in almost a similar pose as to how she looks on the
front Cover but this time she's naked doing a handbra on her massive boobies
She's a got a box of chocolates and I just love inviting & playful women
Next up is two of
Tammy Neil's Knights. First is
Joan aka Sizz, the Knight of Fire and
Marie aka Shady the Knight of Naught. Both are very good looking. Then is
FUTURE TECH's DeeLacey & Rave and then
Black Annis whom is very unique to say the least and is drawn very distinctively compared to the rest of most if not all the illustrations of
Broadway's entire history
Here's some words from the
Publisher & Executive Editor and yes their women too...such a different Era then compared to now
Next up is an
Advertisement for
Broadway Comics. I really like this picture. It's one of the earliest pictures depicting
Cyberspace and the
Internet/World Wide Web. Again like I said before, I love to see how it was back then and it's a shame how people just don't look back and think how it was
The teenager at his
Computer sitting in his
Broadway Comics Chair is blown away as his visited
Comics.net and saw
Desirée Hopewell on the
front Cover of
The Babes of Broadway I know kids & teenagers are so different now and could careless about this stuff now but back then teenage boys & young men like Me were pretty wowed about that sort of thing and still after all of these years I think it's great not to mention seeing it now as close as possible to reminisce like this in My collection in hand is pretty prodigious
The female stuff just wasn't it I mean seeing
Wrestling, Video Game, Baseball, Kaiju, Comic, Movie stuff was really surprising back then especially with
BijouFlix that I posted a while back here in
My All-Crucial Odds & Ends of My restoration of their
Web Site as well as My special
VHS Tapes as they were the first streamers long before streaming was a thing today and way before
YouTube existed with their spoiling thumbnails. Gosh I miss this age but again, seeing it how it was like this in My Comics is a pleasure and I'm grateful about it
Here's an ad for
Knights of Broadway, Cutting Edge Broadway Newsletter, WWF Magazine Subscription Ad and a
back Cover featuring
Rise 2: Resurrection video game that nobody ever talks about during this current day's age. This was so awesome back then in
95 & 96 and with Me it's just as cool now as it was then
Here's two selected
back Covers of video games both by
Acclaim. The one is the same above which is
Rise 2: Resurrection and the other is
D. Both titles are severely obscure to today's society which is such a shame how it has allowed itself to become. I complain all the time how nobody talks about
Acclaim anymore when they were the biggest video game company in the
late 80s, entire 90s & early 2000s and made some of the most fun video game titles. It makes no sense yet it's still happening and it really irks Me. I mean if your My age and you played
Acclaim games for a very long time...did you think they'd have that fate years later
I think not and this generation seriously needs to look back and see what a real video game era was like
With that being said
D had a very remarkable
poster which was a precursor to many games & even movies that would come out years later such as
Shadow Man & The Grudge.
Rise 2: Resurrection was a great fighting game that was far ahead of it's time which was co-made by
Mirage Studios.
These games were on
Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation & PC.
Here's the
1995 & 1996 Copyrights...always's check those
Copyrights no matter what type of collectible you have
So the majority of My
Broadway Comics Collection I got at
MyComicShop.com aka
Lone Star Comics long ago. Last year I showcased them when i showcased My
Dark Horse Comics in a very special presentation for
Halloween 
So that will do it for this extremely special showcase of
Broadway Comic and My favorite which is
Fatale. Maybe you never seen these before or perhaps I sparked a memory or two
Either way i hope you liked this and were surprised
I have a lot of stuff that I have planned for
My Odds & Ends but I'm not sure what I'm going to decide of what is next...I shall see what will be the next update, until then I'll see you around
