New Guardians


The New Guardians were a DC Comics superhero team featured in the short-lived eponymous series The New Guardians. It was a spin-off from the Millennium event and ran for twelve issues, from 1988 through 1989, before being canceled. It is also the name of the group of characters who appeared in the series. The characters first appeared in Millennium #1,, written by Steve Engelhart and drawn by Joe Staton. The series has since gained infamy among comic fans due to the second issue, which features "SnowFlame", a supervillain who gained powers from the use of cocaine.

History
