The Schulz estate has been extremely good at preserving and archiving everything that was originally made by Schulz. There was also another Sunday strip whose top row of panels was missing for years, and when they published the complete set from that year, they had a placeholder. But they did find the original panels a couple years later.
There's one I think you should be aware of. Marvel Comics planned a 3 part graphic novel of Bob Marley, only the first 2 were ever published (Iron and Lion). The final comic in the series was to be titled Zion, but Marvel never published it. It is said to have been completed, but was never published.
That is a horrible excuse to cancel a massive Overwatch graphic novel. In fact, it would be easy to build off the lore of the graphic novel just like TF2 did initially.
especially with how much we're aware the game =/= lore. the game takes plenty of liberties as it is. like most of the characters wouldnt work with each other. junkers in overwatch? of course that aint in the story. just give us the comic blizz >:(
WORST PART IS THE WRITER COULD HAVE WRITTEN IT AND THEN LEFT SINCE THEY WERE ON THE LAST COMIC BUT NO. Also he said hed say what happens if it doesn't come out but NOPE hasn't happened. I hope they will talk about it since a new update may be coming out. They always release something when a new update is out
The Dark Horse Comics adaptation of the Nintendo game ARMS was also canceled, but no reason was given, and they seem to imply it was going to build upon the lore of the game. I kind of wonder it was canceled for similar reasons. :(
The Sonic story makes me cry. I've been reading those comics my whole life, and was there when the Penders-pocalypse happened. When the comic finally ended, my heart broke.
@@sonic23233 His karma was that he never released the comic and fell to obscurity. As far as I'm aware, he didn't seem to release them. Which means that canceling Archie Sonic was all for nothing
OOOOOHHHHH! That sounds really cool! I'm a big toy fan and there's a surprising lot of lost media invalving toys, the doll lines Monster High and Ever After High especially, including scraped characters, unreleased dolls, cut storylines and even an entier canceled movie. I would be so cool to see a deep dive on it all.
Lost Media followers don't count toys or toylines as media. Comic books are considered literature, literature considered a media. I don't entirely agree or disagree with lost/cancelled toylines in general due to the media attached. Pack in stories, concept designs, unused character creations stuff like that can be considered media. I wouldn't count the actual unproduced toys alone, unless they're somehow a media format on their own.
Sometimes it is amazing what is lost For example did you know that Plato's "Dialogs" is incomplete? You know the story that introduced Atlantis and its story to the world, the story cuts after the gods gather and tell Poseidon that he has to do something about the atlanteans since they are going out of control with their conquests The whole sinking of Atlantis is simply inferred from what we have but we don't actually know how it ends
It's not that Archie's contracts were badly written, they were missing, and many suspect Ken Penders STOLE them on his way out. Ken is infamous in the industry and when you look at what he's doing these days it's clear the talent wasn't coming from him.
Well, if me calling that number (a lot) to have them kill that version of Robin is considered to be a bot, then yes. 😁 For 36 hours, beginning on September 15, 1988, readers could call the two numbers to cast a ballot on whether he should live or not. Over 10,000 votes were cast, with a narrow majority in favor of killing the character. (Approximately 10,614 votes were cast during this period. When tallied, the final results were extremely narrow, with 5,343 votes in favor of Jason's death over 5,271 for his survival-a margin of just 72 votes.) In Batman #428, the Joker kills Todd by blowing up the warehouse in which he is held hostage.
one of my favorite webcomics, Cheap Thrills, stopped updating in 2012 after 6 years, then “officially” ended in 2013. i was devastated, as i grew up with these characters, and chapter 4 was left on an intense cliffhanger. HOWEVER the artist is now completing chapter 4 on their Patre0n, and has rebooted the comic. Im not super excited about the reboot, since the characters are all humans now instead of their original animals, but im just glad the story is coming back.
Okay so I want to add something I don’t think anyone would be in possession of. There’s this Austrian supermarket chain called Billa and sometime in the 2000s they had a promotional comic that was also a coloring book. The story followed a boy and a girl in kind of medieval times and they went to the nearby town and found all of the townspeople in some weird sleep state. From what I remember you could somehow be involved in how the story progressed, as in you could probably call or email them ideas, but soon after that comic the store closed in my town and I can’t find any evidence of that comic existing.
I was NOT ready to see Danny Devito with grey hair and beard. We're all just relentlessly growing old, aren't we?

Daan Jippes finished up a lot of these stories and he rules.
@(MediaGuy) I'm not sure exactly but I believe it was some kind of situation where it was on a college campus and you downloaded the files and executed them to view the comic, is judging by the second oldest known webcomic that came out a year after witches and stitches this webcomic being The F.O.X, these were very primitive digital art webcomics, like literally made from Pixel art not as a stylistic choice but because there was no other way of creating comics digitally at that point that looked exactly like a drawn strip, so another interesting note on this front is the first published digitally made comic, originally physically published by 1first comics shatter was made primarily with an apple 2 and released from 84 to 88
@(MediaGuy) The F.O.X can still be found on the internet, I believe there's a few archives of it on archive.org but the only one I was able to find on there that worked was the one with the thumbnail that has Star Trek the next generation characters in it alongside some dude poorly edited into the picture, I believe it's mostly still intact but there could be some missing strips here and there Shatter is completely not lost, and there are two physical copies of it that have been released over the years the first one is a full color copy which is a bit more pricey and the second is a black and white version which is also still pretty pricey depending on when you're looking, in a similar shatter you could also check out Batman digital Justice which I believe is the first mainstream comic to really use digital art in particularly 3D digital art and it's pretty cool And witches and stitches is completely lost with very little possibility of it being found but who knows, I believe there is a blog post in a Wikipedia page on witches and stitches and it's Creator too if you want to learn more

The Kiwis By Beat disappearance is so sad. I'm fortunate I bought the print versions of minus. and Give My Regards to Suzie (which are not lost) before Ryan Armand vanished. I really hope he's okay, his work was incredible.
I’ve got a lost comic that’s really obscure. Carlos Trillo and Carlos Meglia, two Argentine comic creators (and the creators of the comic Cybersix) had another comic series called Irish Coffee. Apparently in the mid to late 90’s they published some chapters of Irish Coffee in the newspaper Clarín. To my knowledge these chapters have never been republished, and aside from a handful of chapters that people online have saved, they appear to be lost.
There is actually a General Mills Museum here in Minnesota called the Mill City Museum that is run by the Minnesota Historical Society. I remember going there as a kid and seeing stuff from the 60's. I wonder if they have an archive or something with all the old box designs. I think it's possible they might.
In Japan there's a company called Shogakukan which publishes a lot of manga in magazines including various series based on video games. While some of them have been published in their own books such as Super Mario-kun and the Kirby manga, there are other series that never got their own books and are mostly lost. There are two that I have a lot of interest in that both ran from 1992-1994. Sonic the Hedgehog This is most likely the earliest adaptation of Sonic as it started being published in April 1992, a few months before the Archie comics started. It's about a 10 year old hedgehog boy in school named Nicky who turns into Sonic the Hedgehog whenever there's danger. It's pretty unusual seeing Sonic as just an alter ego which is a big part of what makes this manga stand out. It's also worth noting that Amy Rose and Charmy Bee originated from this manga before they were characters in the games. While a lot of issues have been found and a few have been fan translated, there are still many issues that are currently lost. Otenba Peach-hime (Tomboy Princess Peach) This was a gag manga about the Mario Bros. characters as kids, and it mainly focused on Princess Peach who was portrayed a tomboy (before Princess Daisy was given this personality in the games.) A few issues have been found (though not translated yet), but a great majority of the series is currently lost which is a shame since it's one of the most unique things I've seen done with Princess Peach in official media. The artist has an official website and has posted a couple of pages from it. She's done artwork for a lot of manga that is unknown to English speaking audience.
I own all 6 complete little nemo books. Has from 1905 to 1914, including all the dream of the rarebit fiends. From what i understand, the later comics were just reprints of his old stuff but reworded to update it by 25 some years. His son, robert who nemo was based on, did a lot of these comics himself.
Fun Fact: the perception that jason todd was hated by the comic book community is a false one created after the fact. At the time fans that called the 1-800 number voted overwhelmingly to let him live. However One person used an auto-dialer to flood the line to kill robin, skewing the vote. Not that I'm Complaining Killing off Jason Todd was a fantastic character moment for batman, too bad they had to ruin it by bringing him back.
I wonder what happen to the modern day reboot, of the mcdonald's comics, as i remember having a sealed comic of issue #1 somewhere, but i couldn't find it when i moved, but i remember them being pretty hard to get after the fact. Edit; Little Nemo's game on the nes was absolutely incredible, and it's such a shame that due to licensing issues, it hasn't been re-released since!
Just a note on the Jason Todd situation. He wasn't hated until after the crisis on infinite earth storyline. They changed basically everything likeable about him after the relaunch
I don't think it would be practical, since it's so big and underesearched, but maybe lost fanfics or internet fiction writing would be a cool topic to cover. I say that because the one piece of lost media that hurts me to no end is that one pokemon fanfic I wasn't able to finish.
Another less-known Marvel one: in the 70s Marvel punlished the first "Contest of Champions", Marvel's, as well as mainstream's, first limited series ever. The three issue miniseries featured EVERY Marvel character having appeared at the time, the cover of the first issue alone featured a plethora of heroes. The first issue (by Mike Zeck? I don't quite remember the artist) was to show a new addition to Marvel's ever-growing pantheon: Sinbad! Who came up with this idea, and more interesting, *_why?_* , is unknown. But Sinbad in the Marvel universe never happened (he appeared many years later, but that's another story), probably because such a well-known, classical free-domain character every other company could use, was deemed a bad idea. Marvel, and later Disney, showed the same ambiguity regarding characters like Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster for example, making no mention of either one for quite some years. Anyway - the cover of Contest of Champions # 1, showing Sinbad among the many various superheroes, has already been finished, before they decided to not include him after all. The artist pencilled another cover - and the original cover art, showing Sinbad, has disappeared since. There are not even pictures of the cover as far as I know. Sinbad was added to the Marvel universe later, albeit decades later (and somewhat out of character). The fans would have REALLY loved seeing Sinbad among the Marvel superheroes.
I think that was Arabian Knight, not Sinbad. AK was also one of the heroes chosen by Death to represent her in the Contest of Champions against the Grandmaster, his teammates being Iron Man and Sabra. He overcame his dislike of the Israeli heroine to win their battle against She-Hulk, Captain Britain and Defensor. Mark Gruenwald, Bill Mantlo & Steven Grant (w), John Romita, Jr. (p), Pablo Marcos (i). "A Gathering Of Heroes" Marvel Super Hero Contest Of Champions, volume 1 #1 (June 1982)
@@ajclements4627 No, Arabian Knight appeared in the comic, he was one of the featured heroes. Sinbad was to be included, but ultimately didn't appear. If he had appeared, he would have apoeares alongside Arabian Knight. Thanks for the artists - Bill Mantlo, of course. He was connected to each and every oddball comic of the 80's :D
@@dolliesdieyes5590 NP, I had CoC and had no idea Marvel even had licensed Sinbad for a hot minute. I still kick myself for not picking up their Godzilla or Shogun Warriors titles back in the 70s, I was really into Shang Chi then.
@@ajclements4627 The thing is, Marvel didn't license Sinbad, they didn't have to. We're talking about the classic, 1001 nights arabian guy, there is nobody holding any rights to a character like this. I'd bet that was the reason Marvel decided to not use him; every other company could have used Sinbad, too. Comic companies are not very hot for characters and properties that are free for everyone.
@@ajclements4627 Yeah, I feel you. "Shogun Warriors" was so-so imho, but "Godzilla" was a pretty fun title. Along with "Micronauts" and "Rom, Spaceknight", which very pretty good. And of course the famous and important "Crystar the Crystal Warrior" :D Micronauts was a pretty good space opera, and Rom was a fun action title; I especially dug that everyone was bound to make an appearance in Rom, from Torpedo to the Beyonder...
Some Peanuts strips are longer because comic strips on Sunday are made longer. However, some newspaper will omit some of the first few panels to save space. Artists have to work around this, and not put any crucial context in those first panels. This is probably why the Peanuts panels are lost, it's because some newspaper didn't run them at all.
Have you ever considered doing intentionally lost media? Stuff that was intentionally destroyed or locked away, never to be seen again? I can only think of Unus Annus as an example, but there might be more.
There is Disney's Song of the South, which was deemed by Disney as "Too Racist to exist" to put it simply, and The original ending for Cartoon Network Invaded, which was a 5-show special that interconnects them to an Alien Invasion; The ending only aired once and was never seen again as its Alternate Ending took its place in its rerun and as the ending for the standalone version of the final part, Billy and Mandy Moon the Moon. There's also Class of 3000, which was a victim of a rights dispute between Cartoon Network, the creator, and its inspiration, Andre 3000, and Little Bill, which was erased by Nickelodeon following the start of the Bill Cosby trials.
Legendary comic artist Alex Toth was said to have done an Enemy Ace story that was completed but rejected by DC. It may have been destroyed, but it certainly would be great to see.
I have one piece of lost media you could cover: Jim's Story. It was David Firth's first cartoon series but he has since taken it down from the internet. I managed to uncover some bits of it and a full episode (Jim's Story 5) but the others in their entirety remain lost. A good place to start is on David's official site (Fat-Pie). Then search up 'Angelfire Jim's Story' to find his older site. I highly recommend sticking primarily to the Wayback Machine for this search. It's going to be a hella lot of trial and error but you might find something I haven't Here is a tip: If there is a link section, try find anything that could potentially contain Jim's Story stuff. NOTE: The humour in Jim's Story is pretty edgy (even for its time) as it was made 1999-2001. If you really want to play it safe, just avoid downloading/viewing anything that may push the 'line'. Safe travel.
One manga that popped up right after watching this video was Yusuke Murata's (Creator of Eyeshield 21, One Punch Man artist) Back To The Future manga which was cancelled due to rights issues. There are a few remaining pieces of the manga which were tweeted by Murata: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-16/back-to-the-future-manga-by-one-punch-man-artist-yuusuke-murata-cancelled/.136854
Holy shit my article was acknowledged here! I'm the original writer of the LMW page BTW. I found out why the comic was cancelled from an email with the artist.
Re: Jason Todd (A Death in the Family - Robin Lives), You description of Jason Todd is imcompleat - Jason Todd was originally introduced as a red hair 'clone' of Dick Grayson...down to being an orphaned acrobat in Batman (volume 1) #357 (March 1983), then becoming Robin in Batman (volume 1) #366 (Dec 1983) but following Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985-1986) Jason was 'rebooted' as a kid living on the streets who tries to steal the tires off of the Batmobile in Batman (volume 1) #408 (June 1987), and it's that one Jason Todd 2.0 who was killed in A Death in the Family.
10:19 wait, did you cut yourself gasping for air after saying "duck mammaries"?! LMAO, ngl can't believe someone can say that with a straight face either.
Regarding the Waku Waku Pop'N Manga, I know a decent amount of people who are heavily active in the Bemani community and have connections to people that have worked on the games. I linked them this video, and I've got a couple of "might know somebody" leads. If anyone wants, I can update if/when I hear something.
Update: The "Robin Lives" comic was released fully. The unfinished page was apparently from the next issue, so we have no idea what the alternate story was. At least we have the rest of the finished story.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention one of my favorite comics of all time, Calvin and Hobbes. Oh well. You should do the lost Tokusatsu media, a Mario lost media, the lost media of Marvel and lost media of Transformers. Those would be glorious.
Great vid as always. If you decide to do a part 2, Dark Horse Comics was originally gonna put out a comic of the video game ARMS, but it got cancelled a few years after a teaser page was shown off.
Another really obscure lost comic is the Creepshow 2 comic by Marvel. Back in 1987, Creepshow 2 released and Marvel wanted to release a comic based off of it. Due to licensing it didn’t make it but the artist behind “The Raft” portion of the comic releasing his work. What he released isn’t fully finished, and I don’t know if any art for the other 2 story’s were made. I do hope there is though, but information is pretty non existent Edit: well I dug a little deeper and found out more pages exist. The entirety of the Raft was sketched and scripted, just not fully inked and a few pages for Old Chief WoodenHead are out there which are similar. All we need is some evidence of the last comic and we can see how far along the project came
I knew the lost early superman comics would be here,also while I came to Archie comics late (I need a-lot to catch up on) and Ken isn’t great,it is sad that the comics are lost,from what I read it is good.
If a comic strip lasts half a century and is only missing a single panel out of its entire archive, I'd say thats impressive.
Not only that, it's a title panel, so at most we lost a mostly pointless panel

I always associated lost media with films and TV, but I didn’t realize it extended to a medium like comics. Thanks for sharing this information!
Little Nemo also has a short film that has been lost.
For a good while a few short films where lost up until the recent Blu Ray release.
Now we are missing a single short film.
God, that Moxy section is activating memories I didn't remember I had.
You should do a video on lost puppetry/puppet shows.
Jeff Kaplan came up with a really eloquent way of saying "we don't know what we're doing and we don't want to make it harder to retcon everything than it already is."
I'm for sure dating myself here, but I totally remember the 1970's stretch armstrong. I remember hearing stories that the chemicals used to make the product were toxic. Which toy from the 70's wasn't toxic? Hahaha Us Gen Xer's are just fine. 🤣
Damn, i wish my comics were preserved... but it’s probably for the best they were burned haha
Burned?? That’s cruel!
Larger corporations have corporate archives. It's possible General Mills has these in their archives. You just need to find someone on the inside willing to go searching.
The Superman from Reign of the Superman isn't much like Superman, but it is a lot like Lex Luther
Wow! This is actually a first seeing someone talk about the lost waku waku popn comics, hope this video gives more attention for people to find more strips! Great video btw!!
I didn't expect any other Pop'n fans to be in the comments
@@aeroburger But here we are
The Kiwis By Beat disappearance is so sad. I'm fortunate I bought the print versions of minus. and Give My Regards to Suzie (which are not lost) before Ryan Armand vanished. I really hope he's okay, his work was incredible.
I know someone who's obsessed with comics. I am gonna show them this vid

Say what you will about Ken Penders, but the Knuckles series under his reign was some of the best stories Archie Sonic ever had.
What about, Top 20 Pieces of Unconfirmed Lost Media???
Always a great day when All Things Lost uploads
I’ve got a lost comic that’s really obscure. Carlos Trillo and Carlos Meglia, two Argentine comic creators (and the creators of the comic Cybersix) had another comic series called Irish Coffee. Apparently in the mid to late 90’s they published some chapters of Irish Coffee in the newspaper Clarín. To my knowledge these chapters have never been republished, and aside from a handful of chapters that people online have saved, they appear to be lost.
There is actually a General Mills Museum here in Minnesota called the Mill City Museum that is run by the Minnesota Historical Society. I remember going there as a kid and seeing stuff from the 60's. I wonder if they have an archive or something with all the old box designs. I think it's possible they might.
In Japan there's a company called Shogakukan which publishes a lot of manga in magazines including various series based on video games. While some of them have been published in their own books such as Super Mario-kun and the Kirby manga, there are other series that never got their own books and are mostly lost. There are two that I have a lot of interest in that both ran from 1992-1994.
Sonic the Hedgehog
This is most likely the earliest adaptation of Sonic as it started being published in April 1992, a few months before the Archie comics started. It's about a 10 year old hedgehog boy in school named Nicky who turns into Sonic the Hedgehog whenever there's danger. It's pretty unusual seeing Sonic as just an alter ego which is a big part of what makes this manga stand out. It's also worth noting that Amy Rose and Charmy Bee originated from this manga before they were characters in the games. While a lot of issues have been found and a few have been fan translated, there are still many issues that are currently lost.
Otenba Peach-hime (Tomboy Princess Peach)
This was a gag manga about the Mario Bros. characters as kids, and it mainly focused on Princess Peach who was portrayed a tomboy (before Princess Daisy was given this personality in the games.) A few issues have been found (though not translated yet), but a great majority of the series is currently lost which is a shame since it's one of the most unique things I've seen done with Princess Peach in official media. The artist has an official website and has posted a couple of pages from it. She's done artwork for a lot of manga that is unknown to English speaking audience.
Only found you yesterday and delighted to see a new vid! Yay!
Glad to have you here!
It’s starting to look like the finale of the TF comics series will never be released, leaving the story on a cliffhanger forevermore
I own all 6 complete little nemo books. Has from 1905 to 1914, including all the dream of the rarebit fiends. From what i understand, the later comics were just reprints of his old stuff but reworded to update it by 25 some years. His son, robert who nemo was based on, did a lot of these comics himself.
I LOVE your work, you should do a video on found media
Thank you for making this incredible video! I would love to see one about lost art.
I too have gone on several quests to locate lost webcomics. Some I found in total, some I found partially, and some are just gone.
Fun Fact: the perception that jason todd was hated by the comic book community is a false one created after the fact. At the time fans that called the 1-800 number voted overwhelmingly to let him live. However One person used an auto-dialer to flood the line to kill robin, skewing the vote. Not that I'm Complaining Killing off Jason Todd was a fantastic character moment for batman, too bad they had to ruin it by bringing him back.
The Three Jokers revealed that Jason did survive and took on the mantle of Red Hood.
A comic I wish you'd cover was Star Vs The Forces of Evil: Deep Trouble which got canceled after issue 4 when it was supposed to be 8 issues.
Awesome!! Another All Things Lost video!! 💕✨
I have little Nemo in slumberland on dvd, it’s one of my favorite childhood movies
do i care about comics? no. but i love my papi lost media mike
When I see All Lost Things upload a video it makes me smile :)
I wonder what happen to the modern day reboot, of the mcdonald's comics, as i remember having a sealed comic of issue #1 somewhere, but i couldn't find it when i moved, but i remember them being pretty hard to get after the fact. Edit; Little Nemo's game on the nes was absolutely incredible, and it's such a shame that due to licensing issues, it hasn't been re-released since!
Just a note on the Jason Todd situation. He wasn't hated until after the crisis on infinite earth storyline. They changed basically everything likeable about him after the relaunch
I don't think it would be practical, since it's so big and underesearched, but maybe lost fanfics or internet fiction writing would be a cool topic to cover. I say that because the one piece of lost media that hurts me to no end is that one pokemon fanfic I wasn't able to finish.
the xenosaga webcomic is still missing, there apparently was a english version but ive never even seen an english panel
YESSIR! Starting off June strong, I see
Do lost movie sets!!
Lost props, lost practical models, Kaiju suits…
I would’ve liked to read those Pop’n comics as I liked the Game/Characters
Another less-known Marvel one: in the 70s Marvel punlished the first "Contest of Champions", Marvel's, as well as mainstream's, first limited series ever. The three issue miniseries featured EVERY Marvel character having appeared at the time, the cover of the first issue alone featured a plethora of heroes.
The first issue (by Mike Zeck? I don't quite remember the artist) was to show a new addition to Marvel's ever-growing pantheon: Sinbad!
Who came up with this idea, and more interesting, *_why?_* , is unknown.
But Sinbad in the Marvel universe never happened (he appeared many years later, but that's another story), probably because such a well-known, classical free-domain character every other company could use, was deemed a bad idea. Marvel, and later Disney, showed the same ambiguity regarding characters like Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster for example, making no mention of either one for quite some years.
Anyway - the cover of Contest of Champions # 1, showing Sinbad among the many various superheroes, has already been finished, before they decided to not include him after all.
The artist pencilled another cover - and the original cover art, showing Sinbad, has disappeared since. There are not even pictures of the cover as far as I know.
Sinbad was added to the Marvel universe later, albeit decades later (and somewhat out of character). The fans would have REALLY loved seeing Sinbad among the Marvel superheroes.
I think that was Arabian Knight, not Sinbad. AK was also one of the heroes chosen by Death to represent her in the Contest of Champions against the Grandmaster, his teammates being Iron Man and Sabra. He overcame his dislike of the Israeli heroine to win their battle against She-Hulk, Captain Britain and Defensor.

@@ajclements4627 No, Arabian Knight appeared in the comic, he was one of the featured heroes.
Sinbad was to be included, but ultimately didn't appear.
If he had appeared, he would have apoeares alongside Arabian Knight.
Thanks for the artists - Bill Mantlo, of course. He was connected to each and every oddball comic of the 80's :D
@@dolliesdieyes5590 NP, I had CoC and had no idea Marvel even had licensed Sinbad for a hot minute. I still kick myself for not picking up their Godzilla or Shogun Warriors titles back in the 70s, I was really into Shang Chi then.
@@ajclements4627 The thing is, Marvel didn't license Sinbad, they didn't have to. We're talking about the classic, 1001 nights arabian guy, there is nobody holding any rights to a character like this.
I'd bet that was the reason Marvel decided to not use him; every other company could have used Sinbad, too. Comic companies are not very hot for characters and properties that are free for everyone.
@@ajclements4627 Yeah, I feel you. "Shogun Warriors" was so-so imho, but "Godzilla" was a pretty fun title.
Along with "Micronauts" and "Rom, Spaceknight", which very pretty good. And of course the famous and important "Crystar the Crystal Warrior" :D
Micronauts was a pretty good space opera, and Rom was a fun action title; I especially dug that everyone was bound to make an appearance in Rom, from Torpedo to the Beyonder...
Some Peanuts strips are longer because comic strips on Sunday are made longer. However, some newspaper will omit some of the first few panels to save space. Artists have to work around this, and not put any crucial context in those first panels. This is probably why the Peanuts panels are lost, it's because some newspaper didn't run them at all.
there's that one Arms Dark Horse comic based on the game of the same name that hasn't been released
Yeah I thought about that one too. But was it ever finished?
@@genon2777 not sure but I think it was, it just wasn't released. could be wrong tho
So that's why there's Sonic rule 34 characters I have no idea about
If I recall correctly, there was a comic based on the 2011 Thundercats that was never released.
I don't see many people talk about this but how about lost Tv Stations like Nickelodeon of Japan:)

Have you ever considered doing intentionally lost media? Stuff that was intentionally destroyed or locked away, never to be seen again? I can only think of Unus Annus as an example, but there might be more.
There is Disney's Song of the South, which was deemed by Disney as "Too Racist to exist" to put it simply, and The original ending for Cartoon Network Invaded, which was a 5-show special that interconnects them to an Alien Invasion; The ending only aired once and was never seen again as its Alternate Ending took its place in its rerun and as the ending for the standalone version of the final part, Billy and Mandy Moon the Moon.
There's also Class of 3000, which was a victim of a rights dispute between Cartoon Network, the creator, and its inspiration, Andre 3000, and Little Bill, which was erased by Nickelodeon following the start of the Bill Cosby trials.
Damn, just noticed this, I was getting a little desperate for some lost media
A cool video idea would be Lost Adverts.
Legendary comic artist Alex Toth was said to have done an Enemy Ace story that was completed but rejected by DC. It may have been destroyed, but it certainly would be great to see.
Just the name “Igdoof” makes me want to read more 😂 it’s actually impressive
I have one piece of lost media you could cover: Jim's Story.
It was David Firth's first cartoon series but he has since taken it down from the internet.
I managed to uncover some bits of it and a full episode (Jim's Story 5) but the others in their entirety remain lost.
A good place to start is on David's official site (Fat-Pie). Then search up 'Angelfire Jim's Story' to find his older site.
I highly recommend sticking primarily to the Wayback Machine for this search.
It's going to be a hella lot of trial and error but you might find something I haven't
Here is a tip: If there is a link section, try find anything that could potentially contain Jim's Story stuff.
NOTE: The humour in Jim's Story is pretty edgy (even for its time) as it was made 1999-2001.
If you really want to play it safe, just avoid downloading/viewing anything that may push the 'line'.
Safe travel.
The original version of Endangered Species has been found. Matt Herms, the book's artist posted it on his Patreon.
One manga that popped up right after watching this video was Yusuke Murata's (Creator of Eyeshield 21, One Punch Man artist) Back To The Future manga which was cancelled due to rights issues. There are a few remaining pieces of the manga which were tweeted by Murata: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-16/back-to-the-future-manga-by-one-punch-man-artist-yuusuke-murata-cancelled/.136854
Love your work, and I know it's odd, but I'd love to see a video about lost recipes for food.
I remember that tmnt show
Damn that show was amazing
I've never even read TMNT adventures but have been obsessed with the Forever War's disappearance.
Marvel did something similar with the Galactus story ending but replaced Nova with Franklin Richards.
Holy shit my article was acknowledged here! I'm the original writer of the LMW page BTW. I found out why the comic was cancelled from an email with the artist.
Thanks for your contribution! It's people like you who help us get one step closer to completing the search. Glad to have you here!
Kelloggs used to be very good at keeping there old cereal boxes so they wouldn't become lost tho idk if they still keep the old boxes and stuff
Re: Jason Todd (A Death in the Family - Robin Lives),
You description of Jason Todd is imcompleat - Jason Todd was originally introduced as a red hair 'clone' of Dick Grayson...down to being an orphaned acrobat in Batman (volume 1) #357 (March 1983), then becoming Robin in Batman (volume 1) #366 (Dec 1983) but following Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985-1986) Jason was 'rebooted' as a kid living on the streets who tries to steal the tires off of the Batmobile in Batman (volume 1) #408 (June 1987), and it's that one Jason Todd 2.0 who was killed in A Death in the Family.
I have ALOT of the Archie Sonic Comics
10:19 wait, did you cut yourself gasping for air after saying "duck mammaries"?! LMAO, ngl can't believe someone can say that with a straight face either.
Regarding the Waku Waku Pop'N Manga, I know a decent amount of people who are heavily active in the Bemani community and have connections to people that have worked on the games. I linked them this video, and I've got a couple of "might know somebody" leads. If anyone wants, I can update if/when I hear something.
Update: The "Robin Lives" comic was released fully. The unfinished page was apparently from the next issue, so we have no idea what the alternate story was. At least we have the rest of the finished story.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention one of my favorite comics of all time, Calvin and Hobbes. Oh well. You should do the lost Tokusatsu media, a Mario lost media, the lost media of Marvel and lost media of Transformers. Those would be glorious.
A suggestion for a video; lost sports collectibles. Baseball cards, basketball cards, etc. Interesting channel I am going to subscribe.
5:06 I thought that was Tails for a second
Great vid as always. If you decide to do a part 2, Dark Horse Comics was originally gonna put out a comic of the video game ARMS, but it got cancelled a few years after a teaser page was shown off.
An idea: lost creepypasta and/or lost SCPs. You have no idea how much of both can get lost to the internet
Another really obscure lost comic is the Creepshow 2 comic by Marvel. Back in 1987, Creepshow 2 released and Marvel wanted to release a comic based off of it. Due to licensing it didn’t make it but the artist behind “The Raft” portion of the comic releasing his work. What he released isn’t fully finished, and I don’t know if any art for the other 2 story’s were made. I do hope there is though, but information is pretty non existent
Edit: well I dug a little deeper and found out more pages exist. The entirety of the Raft was sketched and scripted, just not fully inked and a few pages for Old Chief WoodenHead are out there which are similar. All we need is some evidence of the last comic and we can see how far along the project came
Oh hi there
Oh hi there!
I knew the lost early superman comics would be here,also while I came to Archie comics late (I need a-lot to catch up on) and Ken isn’t great,it is sad that the comics are lost,from what I read it is good.
