In the lead feature by Elliot S. Maggin and Mike Grell, Robin and Batgirl team to stop an invasion led by Benedict Arnold and Satan. Throw in a few reprints – including a Neal Adams Man-Bat story – and you’ve got a fine debut issue of The Batman Family.

The Young Aquarians team with Batman and the Teen Titans to defend a neighborhood from the establishment and the mob. A dated – make that VERY dated – story from Bob Haney, with great art from Bat-art-legends Jim Aparo and Neal Adams.

Superman teams with Doctor Fate to battle alien high lamas who are willing to sacrifice Earth to reach nirvana. More Silver Age than Bronze in tone, the lead feature by Len Wein, Dick Dillin and Joe Giella is silly but fun.

Captain Victory and his crew explore an Insecton hive, while Ms. Mystic chases poachers in her comics debut. A pair of creator-owned tales from two of comics’ all-time greats, Jack Kirby and Neal Adams.

Superman and a depowered Wonder Woman are swept into the future as a mechanical being tries to save the past. A dated lead story by the creative team of Denny O'Neil, Dick Dillin and Joe Giella falls short of the gorgeous Neal Adams cover, while a pair of reprints offer little added value.

Astronaut Chris Galland and crew convince savage tribes of post-apocalyptic humans to unite against the “blood-sucking dome dwellers.” Not original and poorly scripted, this Atlas (Seaboard) comic from John Albano, Pat Broderick and Frank McLaughlin is still a lot of fun.
READ
Batman interrupts the marriage of Man-Bat and girlfriend Francine Lee – but a startling surprise awaits! Frank Robbins pens a pair of so-so Bat-Family tales, ably illustrated by Neal Adams and Gil Kane.
READ
Red Sonja investigates an ancient temple within the Darkwood and soon finds herself battling an “unhuman horde.” The lead feature by Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano is good, but the reprint backup – featuring art by Esteban Maroto, Neal Adams and Ernie Chan – is the real treat.
READ
When Green Lantern and Green Arrow encounter an eco-activist/terrorist named Isaac, both heroes learn a lesson about blind faith. Neal Adams art is excellent, but Denny O’Neil’s script lacks subtlety.
