Checkered Past

Not just ANY 80-Page Giant, this is the GOAT 80-Page Giant. A perfect silver age comic! It's Superman #193!

The Justice League teams up to help the Blackhawks, distinguished war veterans and members of the greatest generation, transition their skills and fighting techniques into the swingin' sixties! Oh, no, wait.....sorry, I had that wrong. They actually gang up to bully the old fellas out of the game entirely! It's the start of the fabled NEW Blackhawk , right here in Blackhawk #228!

Capt. Hunter finds his brother at last! Oh wait, no, that's Lu Lin's brothjer, and he's a dirty traitor to all that's decent! PLUS Capt. Storm dabbles in necromancy! It's Capt. Storm #17 and Our Fighting Forces #105!

Wonder Woman's Magic Lasso get's a whole issue to itself! What happens when Wonder Woman gets bound by her own magic rope? NOTHING GOOD, FRIEND. And speaking of nothing good, STEVE TREVOR is involved. PLUS the return of Irene Vartanoff and Time Machine Mailbag! It's Wonder Woman #167!

Tomahawk’s out! The Rangers get a new commanding officer just in time to make a daring raid on a British POW camp. Oh and they fight a sea monster! It's Tomahawk #108!

In what turns out to be a REALLY bad stroke of luck, Superman loses his powers and then forgets that he was ever Superman! Luckily plain old Clark Kent is up to the task of wearing down a mournful Lois until she consents to marry him. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! It's Superman 192 and 194, and don't panic, it's an imaginary story (BUT AREN'T THEY ALL?) 

Aquaman aka Agent Double-0 7 Seas (get it?) battles O.G.R.E. for the collective lives of the United Nations, while Sugar and Spike battle capitalism to save Christmas! (Not sure which is more important tbh). It's Aquaman #31 and Sugar & Spike #68!

Sgt Rock - jilted! If only he could've gotten some love advice from Scooter and his juvenile delinquent friends! PLUS love advice for the mod girl! It's Swing with Scooter #4 and Our Army at War #175!

Hey remember that three weeks in the 1990s when Magic Eye Pictures were all the rage? Well Spellbinder is here to remind you, and hypnotize Batman in the process! And if THAT wasn't enough art to satisfy you, Sue Dibny's got a big exhibition that's right up your alley! It's Detective Comics #358!

This week's HOA drama pales in comparison to Superman's troubled nightmares, all tying in to a mystery which we, the reader, are expected to solve despite being given none of the clues. That won't stop the author from gaslighting us, though! PLUS: Dr. Bobb dives into his origin story! And...President SUPERGIRL?!? It's all right here in Action Comics #344!
