Attack of the Super-Wizards is a webcomic by Joey Peters that takes Stardust and the other creations of Fletcher Hanks and reinvents them for every era of comic book history.

  • The Ages Of Super Hero Comics: That's the basis of the comic, Stardust being reinterpreted for each era from the Golden Age up to today.
  • Alliterative Name: Rosemary Redgrave, Rachel Remo, Stephen Smith...
  • Anthology Comic: The comic is structured as a collection of semi-connected independent comics.
  • Badass Normal: Big Red McLane, Earth's Mightiest Lumberjack
  • Captain Ersatz: Stardust got his start as a Captain Ersatz version of Superman. And the tradition continues inside the comic with Nebula the Hyper Engineer, a Captain Ersatz of a Captain Ersatz.
    • Nebula could also be seen as a Captain Ersatz to Shazam.
    • Sirius the Star Dog is pretty much Krypto the Super Dog and Captain Carrot put through a blender
    • And Stardust, Fantomah and Big Red McLane are the Hanksverse Big Three, just like Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman.
  • Kid Sidekick: Stardust's young ward, Sunspot.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: That's just what Stardust the Super-Wizard does.
  • Prehensile Hair: Merlin, the Alan Moore Captain Ersatz.
  • Retraux Flashback: The entire point behind the comic.
  • Superdickery: In one story Stardust fake marries his mermaid friend to piss off his current girlfriend.
