Yeah, that is pretty vague.

 

More specific: Rann

 

 

Tornado Champion = second Red Tornado

 

JPS

 

^^

 

Mystery in Space #61 (1960) featured "The Threat of the Tornado Tyrant".

 

In 1981 writer Gerry Conway, along with artists George Perez and John Beatty, incorporated the Tornado Tyrant/Champion into the Red Tornado's origin story.

Socko's story was a reworked Captain Comet story.

 

JPS

Socko did not have a partner named Vanzetti.

OK, you Bronze Age honchos.

Socko was featured on the cover of a DC Special -- where was his original appearance and what was he called in the story?

 

(Here I thought this was easier than identifying a 16 pixel x 16 pixel cover sample.)

I don't have access to my books right now, but in the interest of moving us along :baiting:;) I'll guess you're talking about the "Phantom Prize-Fighter" originally published in Brave & Bold #47 (Strange Sports Stories)?

Special commendation for working from memory!

 

Next clue. If that didn't work, I'd have been desperate!

My very own, recently acquired copy.

Don't be jealous.

Don't give me too much credit... while I don't have access to my books, I do surf the net at work, and the DC Special clue sent me to Mike's DC comics index ( free plug for www.dcindexes.com) with its link back to the original story appearance.

 

Kudos for designing a Google-proof question! (thumbs u

 

I have a cover quiz question queued up on my hard drive at home-- to be posted tonight. :banana:

In fact, that's exactly what I was aiming for. There's too much information instantly available.

The JLA 138 follow-up? Very cool.

 

 

Next Question:

 

How did the Warden foil Eel Elkins' escape attempt from the prison planetoid?

 

There are storms moving through the area and my connection is spotty, so here are three hints:

 

1. Murphy Anderson art

2. The answer is a naturally occuring by-product.

3. The title of this story is also the title of a Tommy Tomorrow adventure.

 

Hopefully that's enough to track down the answer.
