Hollywood Superstars is a comic book series created by writer Mark Evanier and artist Dan Spiegle originally for Epic Comics, an imprint for Marvel Comics for creator owned properties, and ran from November 1990 to April 1991. Thematically, it is similar to an early series by the same team, Crossfire, published by Eclipse Comics, but without the superhero element.
The series featured the adventures of Jerry Naylor, a stunt coordinator disillusioned the film industry, Melody, an aspiring actress trying break into the business and Leo Haney, a good natured stand up comedian. Together, they run a private detective agency in Hollywood, where they deal with various crises such as irresponsible professionals who recklessly endanger innocents in the making of films.
In keeping with the creative team's tradition, Evanier also posted lengthy essays about the entertainment industry with color illustrations by famed cartoonist, Sergio Aragones.
