Samson and company head up the Huz’n in a river boat, visit the Met Cloisters and fight a radioactive unicorn. A gorgeous George Wilson cover fronts this rather bland outing from the creative team of John Warner and Jack Abel.
READMembers of the Justice League somehow get pulled to Earth-Prime, where they come to the aid of that world’s first superhero. Logic leaps and other story execution problems hinder this outing by Gerry Conway and fill-in artist George Tuska.
READRom is attacked by the Mad Thinker’s android while a backup tale sheds some light on an earlier spaceknight battle. A odd-and-uninspired pair of stories from the regular Rom creative team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema.
READB-list villain Dr. Death holds Gotham – including Batman and Robin – hostage with a deadly allergen. A surprisingly weak 45th-anniversary outing for DC’s flagship Detective Comics. Creative talent includes Gerry Conway, Gene Colan, Klaus Janson and others.
READHephaestus attacks Wonder Woman with an emotion-fueled flame device he hopes will gain him favor with Ares, god of war. An oddly average comic by the team of Martin Pasko, José Delbo and Vince Colletta.
READReturning from an interstellar mission, Superman finds himself trapped on an Earth where everyone has changed sexes. This lightweight relic from Martin Pasko and Curt Swan isn’t bad, but it’s not very entertaining, either.
READDracula hooks up with his fourth cousin and their progeny would eventually terrorize coeds in New York City. Excellent Frank Thorne art can’t save this subpar one off from Gary Friedrich.
READWhen villains from different universes team up, Superman and Captain Marvel require an assist from the extended Marvel Family. Writer Roy Thomas is having a great deal of fun here – perhaps more so than some readers – and receives strong art support from Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano.
READAfter babysitting Wundarr, the Thing teams with Captain America and soon finds himself fighting the Badoon in the far-flung future. This Steve Gerber story is a bit of a mess, with solid-but-unspectacular art support from Sal Buscema and Frank Giacoia.
READAs Rom lies comatose in a laboratory, the Dire Wraiths decide to attack – with semi-sentient, thorny plants! Silly plot devices undermine this offering from the regular creative team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema.
