Launched in 1986 with this stunning promotional image drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz, the New Universe was Marvel's first attempt to launch an all-new imprint. Sadly the talent on the titles themselves was largely less stellar, typified by so much of it being written by the amiable but limited Mark Gruenwald. Four of the eight launch titles were cancelled within a year of their debut, and the line as a whole was wound down in 1989 to widespread apathy.
