Vigilante: The complete Federal Comics cover gallery


Here's a cover gallery of my complete run of Federal Comics' Vigilante:

 Vigilante #1, c.August 1984

 Vigilante #2, c.November 1984

 Vigilante #3, c.January 1985

 Vigilante #4, c.February 1985

 Vigilante #5, c.May 1985

 Vigilante #6, c.June 1985

 Vigilante #7, c.August 1985

 Vigilante #8, c.December 1985

 Vigilante #9, c.January 1986

Vigilante #10, c.March 1986

Vigilante #1 is an 84-page black and white issue, and the rest are 36-page full-colour issues.

I'm pretty sure the dates above are accurate - at least within a month, give or take - but are open to correction pending further data.

I mentioned in passing a couple of days ago my surprise at finding a Jim Steranko Superman feature lurking as a backup feature in Vigilante #4. It turns out each of these issues includes an unexpected non-Vigilante related feature. There's some fillers from New Talent Showcase; a Mr. and Mrs. Superman instalment which didn't make the cut for the Murray compilation; and, maybe most interestingly, three instalments of the Whatever Happened to... JSA series from DC Comics Presents featuring The Crimson Avenger, The Sandman, and Sandy, The Golden Boy. It's a shame these were relegated to such obscurity rather than being repurposed for a dedicated JSA-themed Murray issue c.1982... but I digress...
