“Superman” #64 7/18/1970

The followup to “Vehicle” didn’t do nearly as well for the Ides of March. Several more singles suffered the same fate and the band eventually broke up. Front man Jim Peterik then assembled Survivor, co-writing “Eye Of The Tiger” plus several of .38 Special’s major hits. The Ides regrouped in 1990 and are still gigging around Chicago.
