* UsefulNotes/DeggansRule: The original ''ComicBook/HarlemHeroes'' has an all African-American cast as the heroes with white characters tending to appear as opposing teams and villains. Since they are based on the Harlem Globetrotters, this makes a lot of sense. The InNameOnly revival, on the other hand, averts this with only [[BaldOfAuthority Deacon]] as a TokenMinority.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Subverted. Originally, only the original run of ''Harlem Heroes'' was reprinted in an Extreme Edition. The later graphic novel release collected the original stories and the ''Inferno'' sequel. Even the first of the InNameOnly stories got a reprint as one of the mini bagged trades in the ''Megazine'', though it's highly unlikely that ''Death Sport'', ''Grey Ghost Overflight'' or ''Cyborg Death Trip'' will ever see reprints.

* ScheduleSlip: Due to the sheer number of strips Fleisher wrote for ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' in such a relatively short period of time, ''Cyborg Death Trip'' didn't see publication until 1995, four years after Fleisher had stopped writing comics.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Many felt that the original story petered out towards the end as the creative team was forced by the publisher to tone down the violence to keep ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'''s weekly bodycount "under ninety".
