An indy character called Pulsar? (early 90's)

I recall seeing a full page ad in Previews in the early 90's for a 'promising' looking indy book which I *think* was called Pulsar. Does that ring any bells with DU mongers???

As luck will have it I recalled seeing an ad for that when flipping through a Wizard very recently. I think this is what you're looking for:

http://comicbookrealm.com/series/29660/0/triad-universe" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As far as I can tell 2 issues were published. Not sure if they made any more.

No wonder I couldn't find it in my most likely spots to search, this book would be listed under Triad, not Pulsar. Good job finding this one.

Amazing. Anyway,this looks like an interesting publisher. They published the Honeymooners for 12 issues. I remember when that was coming out.

BTW, that's some awful cover design. Anatomy aint so hot either. And don't get me started on the geography. Here's the ad from Wizard:

That is the ad I recalled, although the version I saw was in Previews so was probably B&W. Thanks again.

This fills me with warm and fuzzy nostalgia.

As much as I love the information age and the internet, I do miss discovering things in print and through mailings. What was the mail order comic company in the 90's?

Westfield Comics was the company I dealt with back then. They used to send you catalogs through the mail.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure they're still around.

Hmmm...that sounds about right. I guess in a way DCBS is not much different but I loved getting the catalogs and thumbing through them, placing my order and then waiting for the package to arrive.

Yeah, they are still around. I looked at their web site when I was making the above post. I remember at some point they stopped sending out the paper catalog. I think DCBS and the other mail order companies surpassed Westfield a long time back.
