Be careful of your trips to the Quarter Bin...or you might end up reading a story with Jean Loring.
How bad was Jean Loring?
She, Iris Allen and Linda Danvers were kidnapped to an other-dimensional world, a "living planet."
Jean has only recently recovered from a nervous breakdown, and this ordeal isn't doing her sanity any favors...
...and...
Well, Flash, the Atom and Supergirl settle T.O. Morrow's hash, but something pretty significant happened off-panel while that was going on (terrible comic book, by the way. Just bad on several levels...):
Jean Loring...so obnoxious, actual planets rebel against her presence and send her away. So hated that, as you can tell by the next issue blurb, Flash and Supergirl can't even be bothered to help hunt for her.
You know, I can't help but thin that two comic book universes would have been better off if somehow the Watcher or the Guardians or someone intervened and moved to Wasp to DC to be with Ray Palmer and Jean Loring to Marvel to enjoy blissful mental instability with Hank Pym...
Yes, the big twist and inciting incident for the next 2 issues actually happens off-panel. Good gravy, Super-Team Family #11 (1977) is a terrible, terrible comic book.

just more proof that Jean Loring is the most evil woman in comics.
Bad story but really great art by Joe Rubenstein. I think the strangest team-up in S-TF was Wildcat/Creeper.
