Marvel/DC Art Finally Gives Fans the Amalgam Heroes They Always Deserved

Fans of Marvel and DC Comics in the 1990s might remember the iconic Amalgam Comics that morphed together fan-favorite characters from each publishing house, and now a talented independent comic creator is collaborating with other creatives to make anentirely new set of Amalgam creations. Dubbed the «Amalgam Files» by creator Kal Huset, each trading card-esque piece of art includes an entire biography explaining the new character.

The shared «Amalgam Universe» of combined DC & Marvel heroes and villains occurred as a result of the major 1990s crossover event, which saw heroes from both franchises fighting in one-on-one battles to determine which heroic universe was better, and which should be destroyed. Eventually two cosmic beings, The Living Tribunal from Marvel and The Spectre from DC, were able to avoid this calamity and instead form a new shared universe, the Amalgam Universe, which combined the heroes and villains and retroactively gave them backstories dating back to the Golden Age of Comics. The success of the Marvel vs. DC event, and the creation of the Amalgam Universe, led to the formation of Amalgam Comics, a brief publishing imprint collaboratively owned and operated by DC and Marvel Comics.
