World's Finest - the final original issues 0

[smithdatura]

I recently picked up a bunch of Bronze/Copper books at a flea market and had pulled a stack of nice-looking World's Finest comics toward the end of the original run, so like in the 298-323 range.  After totaling up the other books I decided to put the WF stack back because even at less than a $1 apiece in higher grade, I wasn't sure there was much of interest there from a reading standpoint (I buy most of my stuff to read rather than slab).  The dealer asked if I wasn't planning on taking them and I confirmed as much, to which he said he'd just throw them in for free.

So here's my minor quandary: is there anything redeemable in the final 2-3 years of that series that would merit me seeking out and filling the run (I'm missing maybe five of the final 30 issues)?  From what I could tell from the stories and covers, things get pretty bananas with out-there intergalactic plots, and the artwork is hit-or-miss but in some cases oddly psychedelic in a way that intrigues me.  I mean seriously, what the heck is this?

Has anyone read these and if so, any thoughts on this end run?

Never seen that before. I'd read it out of curiosity.

Now I'm wondering what a comic illustrated by Escher would look like

The motifs are more Dali than Escher.

The Batman ribbon head is definitely more Escher. Not to say that the other motfis are not Dali, but I think an Escher comic would be more interesting than a Dali comic.

Interesting, I hadn’t seen the Escher ribbon head work before
