Visionaries #6

Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light #6 was published in 1988 by Star Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics. The series was designed as a multimedia launch to support Hasbro’s toy line of the same name, which featured action figures with holographic stickers on their chests. This specific issue served as a concluding installment for the initial run, navigating the challenge of blending high-fantasy storytelling with the technological tropes inherent in the toy-driven marketing of the late 1980s.

The creative team for the series included writer Gerry Conway and artist Mark Bagley. They worked to establish the lore of Prysmos, a world where science and technology had been replaced by magic, requiring the characters to adapt to a new paradigm of power. While the comic was intended to drive interest in the action figures, it was received as a niche entry in the crowded toy-tie-in landscape of the era, eventually ending its run as the broader market interest in the Visionaries franchise began to wane.
