Austin Rich:

↳ Song: "Alien Creatures" by "Superman"
While this marketing gimmick never really took off, a number of "comic book and record sets" came with an original story that you couldn't get in the comics. (usually.) The idea was to try and get kids to graduate to comics (or to get comics readers to start buying story records.) Not many of the comic / record sets were made, as the ones for even younger audiences sold better. So there are some - like Holo-Man - where they intended to make several, and never did.

I think a lot of superheroes like wearing the costumes, as it allows them to express something about their personalities they can't express in their regular lives.
