OK, I lied
again.
That's obviously not
Devil Dinosaur--this story takes place several months before his debut--but still, it's
Red Tornado fighting a dinosaur. That's gotta count for
something, right?
The evil
Grax has planted bombs all over the world, and in this 3-part story, the
Justice League has teamed up with
lame exciting "
heroes of various lands" to find and defuse them.
First up in this, the middle issue?
The Atom and...
Boring.
Next?
You know, this is a team-up that really
should have occurred...
All right, so now I have a story in my head where the
Guardians came to ancient Earth and were mistaken for fairy folk and...
Enough!!
Next!!
Tuatara???
Who the...?
Well, for once, some actually correct
DC Science, as that lizard
does indeed have three eyes...
...and there goes the correct science out the window.
Sigh...
Oh, and "
Superman explained how to break the time barrier" to Red Tornado, so...
Great, that's all we need...a whiny android who screws everything up
who can travel in time. Nothing could possibly go wrong there...
Meanwhile...
No,
Bushmaster is
not just a frat boy nickname from
Animal House...just look how useful this guy is!
All kinds of wrong, but
so cool...
Finally, perhaps
the most annoying team-up ever:
Because who wouldn't want to hang out with these two?
Egads...
More on the tale of titanic transcontinental team-ups some other time...
From Super Friends #8 (1977)
I'm calling fanboy bull here. Red Tornado and Black Canary were never on Super Friends, much less part of the cast.
ReplyDelete(Yes, I'm THAT kind of fan at times.)
I do like the idea of the Guardians being mistaken for elves or wee folk or something. Really really dickish elves.
ReplyDeleteOK, Super Friends cross-referencing JLA is OK; no harm, no foul. But didja know that this issue of Super Friends was cited in an Editor's Note in Justice League of America? Specifically Red Tornado's speed in breaking the time barrier. So that would make both the Super Friends as well as Red Tornado's time travelling part of DC's official Earth One continuity back in the 1970s.
ReplyDeleteI love those International Heroes! Jack O'Lantern is my favourite but I also have a soft spot for The Seraph!
ReplyDeleteI’m late to the party but we’re Thunderlord and Black Canary flirting? The expression on Thunderlord’s face at the end gave me the impression. Would Ollie have been mad? I thought that was the most interesting team up in this issue just for that.
