And There Came A Day, Unlike Any Other...

Prepare yourselves for the unlikeliest super-hero team of all time!! (And take notes, because you'll need this later this week, he said cryptically...).

Like many publishers from the late 40s to the early 60s, American Comics Group flitted from trend to trend--westerns, crime, romance, what have you.

Their two best known and longest running series were Adventures Into The Unknown and Forbidden Worlds, horror/science-fiction anthology titles.

Well, when super-heroes became popular again, ACG (like many other smaller publishers) tried to hop on that Marvel & DC-led bandwagon, by introducing new super-heroes/cover stars in those two books. Surely, great riches awaited!!

Well, not so much.

But ACG did have one other character who dabbled in the long-underwear domain. So it was inevitable that they would team up, right? Albeit in a fourth wall-breaking sort of way!

Yes, this was the day that Nemesis and Magicman met...The Fat Fury!!

The most requested team-up in comics history follows...

But the "real" heroes aren't too impressed with Herbie's flying!

And when they encounter the bad guys...

After the villains' hash is settled...

And the Fat Fury returns to his home, too...

Oh, Herbie...
