From the Forgotten Realms wiki:

"Planescape: The Unity of Rings is a comic which should have been part of a limited-edition series published by TSR, Inc. For an unspecified reason, the comic issue was not released in 1996, despite TSR's advertisement. According to statements made by Wizards of the Coast on a since-removed webpage, the original pages were lost and later rediscovered during an office relocation. Deeming the story complete, WotC published scans of the comic in their online archives on November 13, 2003. The comic had no cover."

Some of you may already know about this, but here's a link for those that don't

Claw the Unconquered was DC's answer to Marvel's Conan comics in the 1970s, and ran for 12 issues. I finished the series today, and is worth collecting if you're into comics. It's not too terribly expensive if you collect S&S comics - I paid $50.

Anyway, issue 12 ends on a pretty crazy note, and the letters page talks about issue #13. But there is no issue #13! Apparently, it (and a lot of other DC series) were cut at the time. The thing is, apparently issues #13 and #14 were written, drawn, inked, and lettered, but never officially released.

To maintain copyright of the work, DC literally made a photocopy collection called Canceled Comics Cavalcade, including the Claw series issues #13 and #14. They only made about 35 copies apparently, and only distributed it internally.

Anyway, the scans are up on the internet if you're interested in seeing some obscure, almost lost S&S comics from the 1970s. Here's a link for each issue:

edit: oops I put Unconquerable not Unconquered in the title - can't fix it.
