Anyone remember these? I think there were specifically three main lines of wrestling comics. Not sure if this should be in the classic wrestling section or the comics section, so moderators, move it if you have to. WWF BattleMania********************************************* Marvel's WCW Comic********************************************** WWF Attitude era comicsThe Undertaker had an ongoing series that featured Bearer, Kane and Mankind. And Mankind, Chyna, Rock and Austin all had their own short stories (which were all pretty much "superstar wrestler comes to town, beats up bad guys who are terrorising town"). If anyone does remember these, any thoughts on them? The only ones I have now are some of the Battlemania ones I bought on ebay a few months back, but I read parts of the other two lines as well. Actually there was a WCW Kevin Nash comic as well, but I don't know if it ever got off the ground. If you do a little googling, you can find sites recapping and making fun of all of these comics.

I remember back in 2000, Toybiz's WCW figures of superstars like Bret Hart, Goldberg and everybody in combat and action gear, dressed like cyborgs. I think magazines came out with each of them, too.

I remember seeing the Taker and Nash ones on shelves a lot back in the day. I never actually purchased them as I just wasn't impressed with them. They were just flat out weird.
Stone Cold had one but I don't remember much about it and I rarely saw it.

I remember BattleMania! I had one that I believe featured Ultimate Warrior and Ted Dibiase. They were comics that actually had a story to them but also took place in the WWF realm. I remember the Undertaker comic as well but never read it.

I remember the Undertaker comic as well but never read it. I think there are two with Undertaker. One is him and Bearer live in a big giant funeral home with a pantry of dead bodies. They're showing some woman around and apparently planning to kill and eat her, when Bossman saves the day. And I think there's an Undertaker-Warrior story, but I don't remember it.

I vaguely remember the Nash comic. I looked up the comics and it was co-written by Nash. Tells you how good that must have been. I think it lasted 2 issues.

I have all of the Undertaker, Austin, Chyna, Mankind, Rock, Nash, Sable, and most of the WCW comics. I also have the first issue of Hawk & Animal signed by both Hawk & Animal from when they worked for JCW in 2001. I also have 16 comics from Japan from the 80's that feature a bunch of American & Japanese wrestlers.

I've always wondered, if those Maximum Sweat figures were based from the Attitude Comics? They look very similar, and were both released at around the same time.
