Pied Piper Comics was a short-lived American comic book publishing company that ran from 1986 to 1988. Most of the company's titles were picked up from other publishers, and then most later moved to David Campiti's Innovation Publishing. Pied Piper's black-and-white titles were published under its "Amazing Comics" imprint.
Pied Piper's headquarters shifted frequently during its existence, from Grand Rapids, Michigan,[1] to Wyoming, Michigan,[2] and finally to Wheeling, West Virginia.[3]
David Campiti, before founding Innovation Publishing, packaged comics for Pied Piper Press through his studio Campiti and Associates,[4] as well as personally editing the publisher's comics and writing titles like Hero Alliance, Erin, Ex-Mutants, and Victor.[5]
