A prehistoric sub-human frozen in ice emerges eons later to bring death and destruction to a Minnesota town. A stinker of a debut from the usually interesting talents of Michael Fleisher and Mike Sekowsky.
READThe Tarantula heads off to eat his alter ego’s secretary, but settles for an Arab supervillain he finds trying to kill her. Strangely wooden weirdness from Gary Friedrich and Pat Boyette.
READThe spider priestess Rak-Nora escapes from “astral disintegration” and seeks her revenge on the Tarantula. Another enjoyable issue of Weird Suspense, featuring a so-so script by Micheal Fleisher and interesting art by Pat Boyette.
READDiana Prince teams with Jonny Double in an effort to protect the “King of Beautiful Women.” Dated-but-eminently-enjoyable fun from Denny O’Neil, Don Heck and Dick Giordano.
READSwamp Thing’s quest to find Matthew Cable brings him to Gotham City – and a showdown with the Batman! While not as epic as Alan Moore’s Copper Age Swamp Thing/Batman battle, this story from Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson is certainly a winner.
READStill bitter over losing his beloved Susan Storm to the Sub-Mariner, Mr. Fantastic brings the fight to Atlantis. Bill Mantlo serves up a decent sequel to What If? #1, with a little help from the art team of Gene Colan and Bill Wiacek.
READAfter breaking up a criminal conspiracy on a Gotham subway, Batman recounts the caper for a mystery breakfast guest.

READLooking to avenge the death of her mentor, the Cat takes the fight to a touch-phobic madman. An odd product of its times, The Cat #1 – by Linda Fite, Roy Thomas, Marie Severin and Wally Wood – still makes the grade today.
READA team of Legionnaires battle the Prophet, a priest given massive powers by a mysterious entity called Omen. A surprisingly disappointing outing from the usually superb creative team of Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen.
READLegionnaires on an away mission encounter a pair of immensely powerful humanoids – one a prophet who soon invades Khundia! This issue marks a significant stylistic turning point for the LoSH creative team of Keith Giffen and Larry Mahlstedt.
