NFL SuperPro Special Edition

"A New Star is Shining . . . in the Marvel Universe!"

Yes, that star is NFL SuperPro, "From Football Hero to Super Hero!"

College football phenom Phil Grayfield was drafted in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles, but then disaster struck! Phil tore knee cartilage on the first day of training camp! Then, after a year's recovery, in his first game he broke his femur! Then, after another year's recovery, in the first week of training camp, he twisted his knee! No, I'm not making it up. This guy's got bad luck. For the last injury he at least had a decent excuse, as he saved a kid (coincidentally named Jeremy) from falling off the bleachers. So anyway, the string of bad luck continues when Phil meets "the Howard Hughes of NFL memorabilia", who has created a $ 5,000,000 football uniform. Only, robbers pick that exact same time to attack and Phil gets himself all doused with burning hot "chemical foam, gasoline, plastics, and chemicals from the old [football] films." Normally, you might think that was a bad thing, but not for Phil! He puts on the super-special uniform and becomes . . . NFL SuperPro! In this special first issue, Phil tracks down a steroid-using Chicago Bears player. I always knew those Bears were up to no good! How else could their defense be so strong? I have to go, but I can't leave without mentioning that NFL SuperPro likes to sprinkle his dialogue with football terminology like: "I've been on the the trail of an illegal steroid production ring . . . but this little play from scrimmage didn't gain me much yardage, so . . . arrivederci!"
