Space: 1976

It's 1976, and Aquarius I is about to blast off on Earth's first real deep space mission: 90 days in the emptiness of the outer solar system.

Our crew?

Michael Jordan??

Yes, he sounds like he'll be a valuable crew member...

Daredevil stunt-woman? As opposed to the meek and cowardly stunt-woman?

Washed up at 18? Nobody tell Justin Bieber!!

"Widow" is the best description you can come up with?

Yes, and I was always "too good" to win the Pulitzer for blogging...that's the ticket!

Sigh...of course the ex-convict is the black guy...

Man, that's a pretty motley crew, without a whole lot of actual, you know, useful astronaut or survival skills.

Oh, wait, there are two final crew members:

Hold on--Bruce Wayne is going into space for 3 months??

Wait wait wait--Clark Kent is going into space for three months?????

How does any of this make sense?

Oh, that explains it.

You'd best buckle your seat belts, readers--I think World's Finest #241 (1976) is going to be a bumpy ride...

TO BE CONTINUED

  1. So...Batman is the only one who can pilot the space ship...that seems like poor planning.
    Also gotta love "Iron Mike's" thinking there: "Welp, no more wars, best go into space to make stuff blow up!"
