* ''[[Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld]]'': A [[Magical Girl]] maxiseries created during early 80's? It didn't stand a chance, so DC killed the series by making the main character evil and blowing up her homeworld. Of course, if they had the foresight to allow the property to live until [[Sailor Moon|the 90s]], they could have had a hot product on their hands...
** They tried to relaunch it in 2012, written by the creator of ''[[Jem]]''. It was cancelled after its 8th number because the series was written as a ''[[Game of Thrones]]''-like starring girls with magical gems (featuring a gang rape attempt in the very first number!), while promoting the series with kid-friendly ads in [[Cartoon Network]].
* ''[[Power Pack]]'' (the original
** A [[Lighter and Softer]] incarnation appeared in the 1990s
* ''Yeah!'' by Peter Bagge and Gilbert Hernandez is a girls' comic about three girls in a rock band who are trying to make it big but can only get fans in outer space. It was intended to resemble the girls' comics of the sixties, and it is to comic books what a disco album by [[Iron Maiden]] would be to the world of music: It doesn't contain any of the stuff that their fans like, and it belongs to a genre that nobody's been interested in for decades. It was cancelled after nine poorly-selling issues, and the fact that it's a fun comic with good writing and nice artwork didn't really make a difference.
* ''[[Chick Tracts]]'' are fundamentalist Protestant Christian cartoons that aim to convert others to Fundamentalist Protestantism. The problem? Their potential public are incredibly alienated by its content (which includes denouncing "evils" of the Catholic Church that don't align with the actual bad things done by said institution, [[Godwin's Law|comparing people who accept evolution theories to Nazis]], and promoting the most fundamentalist branch of Christianty, which is seen as the [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] among christian churches), and the people who would agree with them won't read them because they aren't meant to them.
