DC loved the color-draining shtick, and it was visually fun.

Ever read the Sponge-Man story from Challengers of the Unknown #47, where he absorbs all color? It's a hoot.

 

Anyone have a page scan?

Hmm...How unusual for multiple Dianas to appear on a cover of Wonder Woman.

Is 5 a record?

Wonder Tot, Girl, Woman + Mom = 4 wasn't uncommon. Too bad she didn't have a Wonder Dog.

I'm not a big Eerie fan, but this is a good issue with lots of Ditko stories

Give that man a chainsaw and a 1973 Oldmobile Delta 88, and they could have saved some money on the Army of Darkness poster.

I remember buying this copy at a flea market in 1986. It was the oldest Batman the seller had, so I bought it. I was 13 or 14 so I didn't know any better about condition. (shrug)

The fact that you've kept it all these years says a lot. The book is the catalyst for the memory, and memories are the best thing about being a collector. I can still recall finding a totally beat copy of JLA #16 in a local barber shop about three or four months after it had hit the stands. It was the only issue I needed to complete my run, and I was stoked when the barber said I could take it. I treasured that pound puppy as much as any pedigreed book in my collection.

 

And I still smile when I think about that day. :cloud9:

REALLY enjoyed seeing all the Hopalongs. Sad to see the series come to an end. The Kane covers are outstanding.

 

Thanks, John. Hen's teeth every step of the way. Kane liked 'em, too. Between the Hoppys, the Johnny Thunder work, and a handful of mystery/sci-fi work, there weren't many times that he was allowed to self-ink in the 50s. . .DC made a woefully poor decision by insisting on the "house-style" over his self-inks. You can tell how much he enjoyed 'em, too because they're just so much better than the stuff that other people (even, gulp. . .Murphy Anderson) inked.
