Once a Hero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the science fiction novel by Elizabeth Moon, see Once a Hero (novel).
Once a Hero was an ABC 1987 science fiction comedy television series. The series starred Milo O'Shea as Abner Bevis, a down on his luck comic book illustrator whose life is turned upside down when his creation, Captain Justice (Jeff Lester), comes to life. Also appearing in the series was Caitlin Clarke and Robert Forster.
Although widely promoted, the series was a ratings failure and was cancelled after only three episodes were broadcast. Marvel Comics began publishing a comic book spin-off, but this too was short-lived.
The fourth, unaired episode was to have featured Adam West playing a parody of himself.
