Along with the covers for independent publisher Capital Comics' superhero title "Nexus" #1–2 (1981–1982), Gulacy drew covers and an occasional story for such anthology series as Marvel's "Marvel Preview" and "Bizarre Adventures" and Eclipse Comics' "Eclipse Magazine". In 1983, he drew several covers for independent AC Comics' "Black Diamond", "Americomics", "Starmasters", and "Femforce Special" before reteaming with Moench on the four-issue, creator-owned Epic Comics miniseries "Six from Sirius" (July–October 1984) and its four-issue sequel, "Six from Sirius II" (December 1985–March 1986).
