Short lived 70's books, the good the bad and the ugly.

A lot wrong with this first book. Some may say a lot right too.

 

Second book might be motivation to cancel the subscription.

Good to see Sword of Sorcery getting some love. That's one I recommend to customers quite often. We could mention Blitzkrieg too, a title Jenette Kahn supposedly canceled PDQ after taking power.

 

Didn't Creig Flessel do something on one of the issues of Prez? I think it's his last comic book credit or something.

 

And don't dis lady cop--cool book and I believe inspired by a true crime. Really brutal comic actually.

I may be alone on this one, but I loved this book. Always had a weak spot for prehistoric stuff:

Any comic with a Bernie Wrightson cover is a good comic. (thumbs u

Don't ask me why I have this complete series already scanned, but as a kid I always enjoyed it. I was very excited that the were bringing Simonsons Manhunter back & really enjoyed the reintro of Captain Comet. Throw in the Darkseid connection & the book had a lot going for it. The occasional Buckles covers were also top notch for DC during this period.

Goodbye Wendy and Marvin, Hello Wonder Twins

 

Battle royale - most annoying character. Gleek,Wonder Dog, or Scrappy Doo.

 

Sort of represents the best of the worst of the 1970s, full of kitch nostalgia.

Batman Family w Jokers Daughter.

A back hand and a hair pull. Sweet superhero stuff.

Joker's daughter is better than Batman and Superman having sons in World's Finest, IMO...

I, for one, am thankful that these weirdass comics exist. Joe Simon was not afraid to take the latest social phenomenon (18 year old vote - Prez, Hippie culture - Brother Power) and turn it into a comic.

 

Viva la 70s!!!

I agree...it's both the blessing and curse of the 70s comics I enjoy.

I loved this series! Light years ahead of the typical super hero tales it accompanied on the stands! I was Abigail DC collector in this era and I really appreciated the experimentation good and bad. I still have all these bets purchased off the stands with my quarters.

 

Let's not forget PLOP; the covers alone were worth the price of admission!

not sure where to place this series, I kinda liked it:
