 Jonathan Sprout My Heroes
To me, a hero is a person (not a cartoon character) we look up to, who excites us, who shows us inspiring possibilities and who has good character.
The heroes I’ve recorded songs about were ongoing heroes because of their character traits.
I encourage you to dream about your heroes, to wonder how they would handle certain situations you are now facing, to fantasize that they are looking over your shoulder, offering you valuable advice.

 Titans Tower: Amazing Heroes 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Today, the series is one of only two created during that era being published in its own book (Dial "H" for Hero is the other one-see Amazing Heroes #1.) Since their inception, the Titans have battled crime in at least three distinct incarnations, weathering nine editorial changes and eight different writers.
According to the placards the teenagers and adults held at their respective rallies, the problem broke down to an elementary case of "Adults Are Square" vs. "More Chores, Less Play." The conflict was spiced up by having Hatton Corners' Mayor Corliss as the leader of the adults and his son, Eddie, as the teens' spokesman.
It turned out to be the work of Antithesis, an alien who forced the heroes to commit crimes in order to absorb "the energy created when [they were] successful in deeds of a criminal nature." Afterwards, the teens decided to form a loose union in which members could participate when they wanted to.

 Daredevil Resource - Media:Resource Reprints - Amazing Heroes #182
he wisecracking swashbuckler of a hero that Lee's Daredevil became is very different from the Daredevil of today's comics, yet each interpretation of the character is valid and is based on elements present in the very first Daredevil story.
he symbolic death and resurrection of the hero is a perennial theme of origin tales, and in this one we have two.
And yet the hero with a double identity also has a divided self, and will never be a truly complete person as long as he fails to integrate these two selves into one.

Amazing Heroes Interview from Issue #187, January 1991
High concept aside, the success of Usagi Yojimbo should come as no suprise to those diehard fans who, a half decade ago, picked up a copy of Stephen A. Gallacci's Albedo #2 and discovered the first installment of what would become a sweeping epic of feudal Japan.
Usagi blazed his way through a couple more issue of Albedo, and then became one of the starring features in Critters; a popular Summer Special and a year later, the long eared samurai was awarded his own regular comic -- and comics stardom was his.

 Nick Fury in Amazing Heroes #26 (July 1983)
As a writer and as an artist, he shook S.H.I.E.L.D. free from the mundane war-story heroics and transformed it into a James Bond movie on paper, with interesting characters, bizarre villains, fiendish death-traps, cliff- hanger endings, and the most exciting storylines in the business for almost two years.
Their quarrels were patched up soon afterwards, but, during the tenures of Gary Friedrich and Gerry Conway on Cap, Countess Val soon found herself vying for the affection of the man with the shield, and Fury went after Cap with a jealous rage, wrapping it up in issue #153 under the aegis of Steve Englehart.
Of course, the real answer is that he has no series, and different writers interpret him as a tyrant or hero in accordance with their attitude towards government agencies.

 Static: Steve Ditko's Battle of Ideas
I did this in a general way in a previous article (Amazing Heroes #111, February 15, 1987).
Static is almost alone in this respect among comic book heroes; the mainstream hero is content to fight the villain, without ever questioning his own motives for doing so.
Or, if he does think about it, he often cynically concludes that there is no good reason to fight evil, but continues to do so, not knowing why.
