''[[Crisis at Crusader Citadel]]'' is an introductory adventure published in 1982 by Fantasy Games Unlimited and written and illustrated by Dee and Herman. The scenario begins with the players controlling neophyte superheroes, based on themselves, who are looking to apply for membership in the established super-hero team called the Crusaders. During the adventure, the player-heroes have to stop a crime wave being carried out by the Crusaders' opposite numbers, a villain team called the Crushers.<ref>{{cite news|title=Playing Roles, Playing Games|author=Prescott, David|work=Chicago Tribune|date=November 23, 1984|page=N2}}</ref>

Four years after the adventure booklet was published, the setting of the first adventure was used as the basis of a ''Villains and Vigilantes'' comic book [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]] by Dee and Herman, published by [[Eclipse Comics]].<ref>{{cite comic|url=https://www.comics.org/series/3234/|title=Villains and Vigilantes|publisher=[[Eclipse Comics]]|date=December 1986-July 1987|issue=1-4}}</ref>  Each issue included [[character sheets]] for new heroes and villains, and updated material for the existing ones for use in the game. (This device was also used in another comic book limited series published by Eclipse, based on the superhero role-playing game the ''[[Champions (role-playing game)|Champions]]'', during the same period.)<ref>{{cite comic|title=Champions|url=https://www.comics.org/series/3221/|issue=1-6|date=June 1986-February 1987|publisher=[[Eclipse Comics]]}}</ref>

Two early adventures for the game by [[Bill Willingham]], ''[[Death Duel with the Destroyers]]'' and ''[[The Island of Dr. Apocalypse]]'', used characters that would later appear in his [[Comico: The Comic Company|Comico]] comic book series  ''[[Elementals (Comico Comics)|Elementals]]''. Similarly, a ''Villains and Vigilantes'' character, The Dark, later appeared in a series of comic books by the independent publisher [[Continüm Comics]].<ref name="Nafatli">{{cite comic|writer=Naftali, Joseph|story=The New Continüm|title=The Dark|volume=1|issue=1|publisher=[[Continüm Comics]]|date=November 1990}}</ref>
