Once a Hero
originally aired on ABC
Once a Hero is an American action-adventure television series that aired on ABC from September 19 until October 3, 1987. The series stars Milo O'Shea as Abner Bevis, a down-on-his-luck comic book artist whose life is turned upside down when his creation, Captain Justice, comes to life. Seven episodes were created, but only the first three were aired in the United States.
Abner Bevis (Milo O'Shea) is the creator of a comic-book superhero called Captain Justice. Bevis is in a rut and repeating old storylines, and children have lost interest in the comic. Captain Justice (Jeff Lester) decides to cross the Forbidden Zone into the real world, where he becomes a real human being.
