TRADING COMICS (a wish list of six comics series ripe for reprint in trade collections)

SPOILER ALERT: I love comic books; always have, always will. I buy my weekly haul at Comix Zone in North Syracuse, and I occasionally pick up trade collections of older material. These are six hypothetical trade collections I would like to see. These are mostly from the DC Comics library--Marvel Comics has already done a pretty good job of keeping its history in print--with side trips to Charlton Comics, Eclipse Comics, and others.

THE ADVENTURES OF JERRY LEWIS

Not gonna happen. Never in a million years. 

DC's licensed title based on comic actor Jerry Lewis ran for eighty-four issues, 1957 to 1971, and those followed forty preceding issues as The Adventures Of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, 1952-1957. 

Yep, 124 issues in all. One suspects it must have been sufficiently popular to stick around that long. I know I loved it when I was a kid in the '60s, and guest appearances by Batman and Robin, Superman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman made it even more appealing to me. I would love to read 'em all.

But it's likely a dead issue. I don't know to what extent (if any) DC has retained any right to reprint this material; I suspect DC has no standing to reprint it. Maybe--maybe--the Jerry Lewis estate holds the rights, and could strike a deal with DC to reprint, or either self-publish or arrange for someone else to reprint it (without the four stories that guest-starred the above-mentioned Justice League of America members). 

Ain't likely. The potential readership is too small, and not worth the trouble for DC or the Lewis estate.

But I'd like to see it.

(Oh, and I did my own tribute to Jerry and his DC supporting cast characters Renfrew and Witch Kraft in a short story called "The Lovable Lunkhead Returns.")

BLACKHAWK

Blackhawk was originally published in the '40s and '50s by Quality Comics. When Quality ceased publication in the mid '50s, DC purchased a number of Quality's IPs, including Blackhawk. The title continued at DC until 1968, and has been revived at various times since then.

There have been Blackhawk reprints, but my all-time favorite run of the series has been unseen since its original publication. That would be Blackhawk # 251 through 273, 1982-1984, the wonderful and all-too-brief run written by Mark Evanier, usually with art by Dan Spiegle.

Man, these were just terrific comics, great art and great story, and for me they are far and away the most interesting Blackhawk stories ever made. They really, really need to return to retail, and they need to return with Evanier's text pages included. Let's hear it: HAWK-A-A-A!

CROSSFIRE/DNAGENTS

Speaking of Mark Evanier, these two interconnected 1980s series from Eclipse Comics were among my favorite books of that decade; Crossfire in particular is one of my top three '80s books, virtually tied at my top spot with Scott McCarl's Zot! and Love And Rockets by Los Brothers Hernandez. 

DNAgents was sort of in the super-teen outcast mold of Marvel's Uncanny X-Men, and likewise comparable to DC's New Teen Titans; the success of those titles presumably sparked Eclipse's interest in DNAgents, but the latter was never an imitation. As much as I respect Uncanny X-Men and as much as I enjoyed Marv Wolfman and George Perez's work on New Teen Titans, it was DNAgents that thrilled me the most. Drop-dead beautiful art by DNAgents co-creator Will Meugniot didn't hurt, either.

And, as noted, I loved Crossfire even more. Everything Evanier and Spiegle brought to Blackhawk was even more so with their own character Crossfire, a bail bondsmen who takes over the masked identity of a slain criminal to battle in secret for justice. Set in Hollywood, the series gave Evanier license to draw from his own experience working in movies and television to add SoCal entertainment industry verisimilitude to Crossfire's adventures. 

I hear there is little immediate likelihood of DNAgents and/or Crossfire being reprinted, perhaps even less of a chance than that of Evanier and Spiegle's Blackhawk. That's a real damned shame, and both series (with the attendant crossover Crossfire And Rainbow mini-series) cry out for fresh availability and appreciation.

And again: WITH Mark Evanier's original text pieces.

E-MAN

The lack of comprehensive and accessible reprints of E-Man is a huge hole in the current comics landscape. Originally created by writer Nicola Cuti and artist Joe Staton for Charlton in the '70s, the property was purchased and revived in the '80s by First Comics. You can read the recollection of my own introduction to the character here.

There's just a ton of stuff to bring back here, from the original ten Charlton issues and the twenty-five First Comics issues through one-shots, mini-series, various side projects starring E-Man supporting character Michael Mauser, P.I. (including The P.I.s mini-series co-starring Mauser with Ms. Tree), and some 21st century stories by Cuti and Staton for the independent Charlton Bullseye book, done prior to Cuti's passing in 2020. All wonderful, fun comics that absolutely must be preserved for old and new readers alike.

GOODGUY

The late Jim Hanley's Goodguy was a loving homage to the original SHAZAM!-shoutin' Captain Marvel, and ol' Goodguy appeared in various comics fanzines in the '70s. I never saw much of this material, and I have no idea of who owns it, but I adored what little I saw. Maybe it's too obscure for the marketplace, but it seems like someone should be able to make this happen. I would very much like to read more than the itty-bitty little bit of the Goodguy chronicles that I've seen to date.

HOT WHEELS

Maybe not as impossible as Jerry Lewis reprints? DC briefly had the rights to do a comic book based on Mattel's Hot Wheels toys, using characters and continuity from the 1969-1971 Hot Wheels TV cartoon series. DC did six issues of Hot Wheels in 1970-71, with snappy storytelling (initially by Charlton Comics vet Joe Gill) and absolutely gorgeous artwork by Alex Toth. 

(How gorgeous was Toth's work on this title? When the legendary Neal Adams took over the art chores for the sixth and final issue, he was...fine. Great, even. But Adams wasn't better than Toth on Hot Wheels.)

The Hot Wheels property remains popular enough that maybe someone could deem it worthwhile to broker a deal to reprint these. I'm emboldened by the fact that Ed Catto was able to bring DC's licensed five-issue 1968-69 Captain Action series back in a way-swell hardcover reprint volume, with Superman's Captain Action # 1 guest appearance intact. Maybe there's hope for Hot Wheels.

In addition to the six series listed above, it would be cool to see DC Comics trades collecting Action Comics Weekly, Inferior Five (the original '60s book, not the recent revival), the utterly charming '80s series 'Mazing Man, the Silver and Bronze Age Plastic Man, Plop!, and the Golden Age Scribbly And The Red Tornado. Speaking of Action Comics Weekly, that book also picked up the story of the great short-lived 1960s Secret Six series, and consider this a vote in favor of a comprehensive Secret Six reprint, to boot. I'm sure there are others! But these are my requests for today.

DC COMICS BEFORE THE CRISIS: Heroes Of Earth-One AND Earth-Two, Part 2 of 3

Today we have the second of three parts looking back on DC Comics before the multiverse-ending Crisis On Infinite Earths, recalling Earth-Two heroes with identical Earth-One counterparts in the Silver and Bronze Ages. You can catch up with Part 1, and follow along now as we continue with some more heroes of two worlds.

AIR WAVE

In the '70s, DC billed itself as "The Line Of Super-Stars." Air Wave (alias Larry Jordan) was never a super-star, not in any incarnation. During the Golden Age, Air Wave was a backup strip in Detective Comics, and I doubt he ever appeared on a single comic book cover in the '40s.

Flash forward to 1981, when Wikipedia sez a backup story in DC Comics Presents # 40 told us that Air Wave had been killed in action, replaced briefly by his wife Helen, who avenged his death (and promptly retired from caped crusading). 

Because shared surnames are never a coincidence in comic books--I think it's a law or something--we later learned that Larry Jordan was related to Hal Jordan, Earth-One's Green Lantern. Larry and Helen's son Harold Jordan became a new Air Wave, appearing in a new series of backups in Action Comics. Young Harold backed up Superman in Action, just as his father had backed up Batman in Detective.

The family connection to Hal Jordan/Green Lantern establishes Air Wave as an Earth-One character. Air Wave never had any contact with other characters during the Golden Age, so we wouldn't necessarily have to presume there ever was an Earth-Two Air Wave.

Or we wouldn't have had to make that presumption until the '80s, when the All-Star Squadron series--which was clearly and specifically set on Earth-Two--included the original Air Wave among its sprawling roster.

BATWOMAN AND BATGIRL

In a reversal of our usual understanding of which characters inhabited which Earth, the distaff Dynamic Duo of the original Batwoman and Batgirl would have been considered Earth-One characters. Kathy Kane and her niece Betty Kane were effectively banished from Batman's adventures when editor Julius Schwartz instituted Batman's New Look in 1964, but they were part of Gotham City continuity contemporary to the debut of the Justice League, and they eventually returned in Bronze Age stories in Detective Comics and Teen Titans. 

(And I actively despised Detective Comics # 485, the issue where Batwoman was killed off. I still despise it.)

Batwoman and this original, pre-Barbara Gordon Batgirl could have been solely Earth-One characters, but they were eventually referenced in an Earth-Two context, in a couple of early '80s issues of The Brave And The Bold written by Alan Brennert. B&B isn't always a reliable resource for continuity, but that's mostly because editor Murray Boltinoff and regular writer Bob Haney thought the very idea of such continuity was too cumbersome and unnecessary. These two Brennert issues (# 182 and 197) are canon in my view.

THE BLACKHAWKS

With Blackhawk and his intrepid squad, we have a set of characters who--like Aquaman, Batman and Robin, Green Arrow, Superman, and Wonder Woman--remained in print from the Golden Age into the Silver Age. Blackhawk's exploits were originally published by Quality Comics in the '40s and '50s, and continued thereafter when Quality exited the comics biz and DC bought out a number of Quality properties. 

The Blackhawks didn't interact much with the rest of the DC Universe in the '60s, but the few connections that did occur suggested they were inhabitants of Earth-One. The connection was made definite in Justice League Of America # 144 in 1977, which flashes back to a previously-untold adventure from the 1950s, and shows us the Blackhawks alongside the Earth-One heroes who would form the Justice League.

(We'll be coming back to that issue of JLA a few more times before we're done here.)

Given that Blackhawk wasn't published by DC in the '40s, there isn't necessarily any reason to tie that intrepid squadron to events on Earth-Two. In 1973, Justice League Of America # 107 revealed that there had been a (presumably identical) version of the Blackhawks on a newly-revealed Earth designated Earth-X. Earth-X was the home of other Quality characters--Black Condor, Doll Man, Human Bomb, Phantom Lady, the Ray, and Uncle Sam--as well as Blackhawk. 1980s issues of All-Star Squadron established that these Earth-X heroes had all originated on Earth-Two.

THE GUARDIAN AND THE NEWSBOY LEGION

A new version of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's 1940s kid gang the Newsboy Legion was introduced when Kirby took over Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen in 1970. I absolutely loved Kirby's run on this book at the time, and I may love it even more now.

This new Newsboy Legion debuted in JO # 133--Kirby's first issue on the title--were the sons of the originals and went by the same names: Big Words, Gabby, Scrapper, and Tommy, plus new addition Flippa Dippa. The fathers also appeared in Kirby's run, as did a new version of the first group's costumed protector the Guardian, a clone of the slain original from the '40s.

During the Golden Age, the adventures of the Guardian and the Newsboy Legion were published in Star-Spangled Comics. They also appeared in a Boy Commando story in Detective Comics # 76, a story which also included Sandman from Earth-Two's Justice Society of America. All-Star Squadron subsequently reinforced the Newsboy Legion's status as residents of Earth-Two, with identical counterparts on Earth-One.

MANHUNTER

Simon and Kirby were also the principal auteurs of the Golden Age Manhunter, whose '40s adventures appeared in (of course) Adventure Comics. Simon and Kirby were also responsible for Sandman (and Sandy the Golden Boy) in Adventure; both strips predate Simon and Kirby's involvement, though the pre-S & K Manhunter was non-costumed and shared only a name with our more familiar Manhunter. After the initial S & K Manhunter strip in Adventure Comics # 73 introduced the character (secretly big game hunter Rick Nelson), the civilian name was changed to the pre-S & K Paul Kirk in all later appearances. Rick Nelson presumably abandoned crimefighting, and went to a garden party to reminisce with his old friends.

Manhunter appeared with Sandman and Sandy on the cover of Adventure Comics # 78. Maybe we shouldn't necessarily consider a comic book cover as an indication of canon, but once again the '80s All-Star Squadron definitively placed the Golden Age Manhunter on Earth-Two.

As for Manhunter's Earth-One bona fides, a brilliant 1970s Detective Comics backup strip by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson starred Manhunter, Paul Kirk, revived and enhanced but still the same guy who kicked ass back in the '40s. In his farewell in Detective Comics # 443, Manhunter teamed with the book's star character, the Earth-One Batman. A clone of Paul Kirk later appeared in The Secret Society Of Super-Villains.

PLASTIC MAN

Like Blackhawk, Plastic Man is a character that DC acquired from Quality Comics. Unlike Blackhawk, DC didn't get around to using Plas until 1966, and the Silver Age Plastic Man was eventually revealed to be the son of Eel O'Brien, the Golden Age Plastic Man. This Silver Age Son of Plas was never really mentioned outside of his book's ten-issue run. (This run was my introduction to Plastic Man, and I talk about that history here.)

The '60s Plastic Man pretty much lived in a pliable world of his own, though he did team with Batman in a 1968 issue of The Brave And The Bold (# 76). All of Plas' subsequent B & B guest spots used the Eel O'Brien original (or at least Bob Haney's interpretation of him).

Unlike Batwoman and the original Batgirl's appearances in The Brave And The Bold, we generally disregard (or at the very least regard with an asterisk) the continuity ramifications of whatever paces and paths Bob Haney and Murray Boltinoff ran for DC characters in B & B. These stories deliberately existed outside of continuity, indifferent to the larger DC Universe. Plastic Man's Brave And Bold c.v. does not establish Plas on Earth-One or Earth-Two, or anywhere other than the world of The Brave And The Bold. We call it Earth-B, for Boltinoff. B & B seeing you!

The only pre-Crisis evidence of Plastic Man on Earth-One is the same evidence we have for Blackhawk: Justice League Of America # 144. The Earth-Two Plastic Man is also proven the same way we prove the Earth-Two Blackhawk: a deceased Earth-X hero in JLA # 107, revealed to have originated on Earth-Two in All-Star Squadron.

(We should also mention Plastic Man's very first DC Comics appearance, albeit an appearance by proxy. In 1966's House Of Mystery # 160, Robby Reed used his Dial H For HERO device to turn into "Plastic Man--that famous crime-fighting hero of years ago!" Reed later appeared again in Plastic Man's Bronze Age series in the '70s. I don't know if Reed ever crossed over with any other Earth-One [or Earth-Two] heroes pre-Crisis.)

ROBOTMAN

The Golden Age Robotman was Robert Crane, a scientist mortally wounded but saved by having his brain placed in a new mechanical body. The Silver Age Robotman was Cliff Steele, a race car driver mortally wounded but saved by having his brain placed in a new mechanical body (and then becoming a founding member of the Doom Patrol). In each case, super-powered hijinks ensued. Similar origins notwithstanding, the two Robotmen were most definitely not the same character. 

The Robert Crane Robotman survived as a back-up feature into the 1950s, and I recall reading the occasional Robotman reprint when I was a kid in the '60s and early '70s. Ol' Robotman kinda kept to himself in the '40s and '50s, so we only have (once again!) Justice League Of America # 144 to place him on Earth-One, and All-Star Squadron (again and again) to tie him to Earth-Two.

We still have five more heroes to address. We'll get to them in Part 3, along with three characters who moved from Earth-Two to Earth-One.

100-Page FAKES! presents: WANTED, THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS VILLAINS # 4

100-Page FAKES! imagines mid-1970s DC 100-Page Super Spectaculars that never were...but should have been!



My nine-part retrospective of DC's 100-Page Super Spectaculars detailed my sheer fascination with these treasure troves of irresistible goodies from the DC archives. From the first superhero Spec when I was 11 in 1971 through the format's final glut and implosion in '74, I absorbed these with delight and wonder. My affection for them still lingers decades later, and my wish that there had been even more of them prompted me to create this series of what-ifs, imagining more Super Specs that might have been.

In that retrospective, I mentioned how I mourned the death of the 100-pagers twice. Obviously, I missed them when they finally went away in 1974, but that was the second time the format was cancelled; the first wave of Super Specs ended abruptly and unexpectedly in 1972, and remained MIA for nearly a year. In that interim period, the vintage reprints that had been the Super Specs' stock in trade shifted to regular-sized titles. A series called Wanted, The World's Most Dangerous Villains was my favorite.



Wanted focused on the villains, but it was really just an excuse to collect and market some ace superhero reprints. The concept started out as two issues of DC Special in 1970 and '71, and it became an ongoing series in '72. Each issue was all-reprint...which was very much what I wanted! Beginning with Wanted # 2's encore presentation of Batman and Robin's 1944 battle with united underworld of The Joker and The Penguin, the book began offering the Golden Age material I really craved, and that continued throughout the remainder of the book's nine-issue run.






My pick of the litter was Wanted # 4, which featured the Golden Age Green Lantern's first encounter with Solomon Grundy, and my boy Kid Eternity facing his evil opposite number Master Man. Oh, and a one-page house ad that dropped the bombshell that DC had acquired the rights to the original Captain Marvel. SHAZAM!

The return of the Super Specs eliminated Wanted's raison d'etre, though I doubt the book was ever selling well enough to stall its inevitable cancellation. But looking back from this far future world of the 21st century, why not combine the two into one? Why not a 100-Page Super Spectacular edition of Wanted? Hey, howzabout a 100-page version of my favorite, Wanted # 4?

In slapping this together, I tried to channel the late, great E. Nelson Bridwell, the stalwart DC writer and editor who was in charge of selecting reprints for Wanted and the Super Specs. More importantly, I tried to fulfill the dream of what would have been an ideal Super Spec for twelve-year-old me. That meant an all-Golden Age edition (other than the Superboy story from 1960). That meant The Justice Society Of America, whose '40s exploits had never been reprinted up to that point. That meant Captain Marvel. That should have also meant Batman and Plastic Man, but the former is at least represented here by his Boy Wonder partner Robin. Plas will get to appear in a future faux Super Spec.

For this package, we're going with the full no-ads 100-page format used in the first wave of Super Specs. That's 96 pages, plus inner and outer covers. If this were an actual Super Spec, it would have featured a significantly different cover (probably a wraparound) than its real-world counterpart, with a table of contents on the inside front cover and a letters page on the inside back cover. Using the contents of the original Wanted # 4 as bookends, we open with Green Lantern versus Solomon Grundy and close with Kid Eternity versus Master Man.

It made sense to follow Solomon Grundy's debut with a reprint of his tussle with the Justice Society. The ad for Captain Marvel's return in Shazam! # 1 leads us to to the World's Mightiest Mortal taking on his arch-enemy Dr. Sivana, a tale from Robin's late '40s solo series in Star Spangled Comics (with a particularly goofy-looking nogoodnik called The Clock), Blackhawk thwarting the amoral femme fatale Morella and her crime club The Mockers, and Superboy's first encounter with The Kryptonite Kid. Kid Eternity wraps things up.

As with all of our 100-Page FAKES!, copyrights prevent us from sharing the whole thing publicly. We can share the public domain Blackhawk adventure, and we represent the rest with a few sample pages. (On the other hand, my subscribers do get to see this work in all of its 96-page glory, a simple thank-you gift from me and those who choose to Fund me!)

Here's where all of these stories first appeared:

Green Lantern vs Solomon Grundy in "Fighters Never Quit," All-American Comics # 61 (October 1944); reprinted in Wanted, The World's Most Dangerous Villains # 4 (December 1972)

The Justice Society Of America vs Solomon Grundy in "The Revenge Of Solomon Grundy!," All-Star Comics # 33 (February-March 1947)

Captain Marvel vs Dr. Sivana in "Captain Marvel And Sivana's Private Kingdom," Whiz Comics # 142, February 1952)

Robin the Boy Wonder vs The Clock in "Zero Hour!," Star Spangled Comics # 79 (April 1948)

Blackhawk vs Morella (untitled), Blackhawk # 33 (October 1950)

Superboy vs The Kryptonite Kid in "The Dreams Of Doom!," Superboy # 83 (August-September 1960); reprinted in 80 Page Giant # 10 (May 1965), which was the source of my scan.

Kid Eternity vs Master Man (untitled), Kid Eternity # 15 (May 1949); reprinted in Wanted # 4

You ready? Let's go! It may not be real, but it is spectacular.
