The cancellations included long-running series such as '' Our Fighting Forces'', '' Showcase'', and '' House of Secrets''; new series introduced as part of the expansion, or "Explosion", such as ''Firestorm'' and '' Steel: The Indestructible Man''; and announced series such as '' The Vixen'' which would have been the company's first title starring an African ...
