Launched back in 2010, Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues offers comic fans the greatest team-ups that never happened… but should have – including some bonkers Doctor Who mashups.
Merging art from various comics, mainly from US publishers such as DC and Marvel, comic fan Ross Pearsall posts a new cover every single day, and no cultural icon has been spared from having fun poked at it. Judge Dredd, Star Trek, Star Wars, for example, haven’t escaped, either.
While the mashups are fun, I’m sure downthetubes readers won’t be surprised to learn Ross’s clever pastiches have tripped up the unwary into thinking some are the real deal, while others simply wish some were!
