This was much too much short a story for all these characters though...Glenn Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04881290766254795431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-18021084522250335222008-03-18T23:23:00.000-04:002008-03-18T23:23:00.000-04:00On the JLA #119 cover, it looks like Superman and Batman are about to get mighty un-Super-Friendly on Aquaman. Art's probably wishing Katar would step up and take the heat.<BR/><BR/>Like russell, I wished Maggin had brought Hawkgirl in early enough to actually participate in the fight. They really missed the opportunity to have Hawkgirl join the JLA, correcting the mistake made way back in #31 (and repeated several times in the interim).<BR/><BR/>I have that issue of Action! The 100-pagers were really fun, what with the variety of stories you got. In addition to the Black Pirate story, there was also Sea Devils, Matt Savage (a western), and interconnected Adam Strange and Hawkman/Hawkgirl stories. The real problem was that the covers were really fragile. Only a few of mine still have covers at all.Tick-Tock Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-42438064829175495962008-03-18T21:07:00.000-04:002008-03-18T21:07:00.000-04:00Was that a new story in Action Comics or a reprint from an early JLA? 'Cause I know the Queen Bee was in an early JLA but that would've been drawn by Dick Dillin. I'd like to track that issue down if it's not a reprint. Looks like a better story than the JLA was getting in its own magazine at the time!<BR/><BR/>I gotta figure that scene with Superman standing on the table is the result of the artist failing to plan the panels in advance and then realizing "Crap! Where the heck do I put Superman now?" 'Cause otherwise it's just completely retarded that Superman would stand on the table, not to mention totally out of character.<BR/><BR/>By the by, this blog is great. I always loved the original JLA. All other versions are just pretenders to the throne. I even had all the crappy issues with Vibe and Gypsy just because at least they finally made Aquaman the star.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-57195584447233887692008-03-18T13:40:00.000-04:002008-03-18T13:40:00.000-04:00its the Black Pirate. there's a BP reprint inside. it does kinda look like he's in the JLA!rob!http://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-24052964414613252402008-03-18T13:37:00.000-04:002008-03-18T13:37:00.000-04:00Who is that between Hawkman and Green Lantern on the Superman cover?

I had forgotten about it, to tell you the truth!! LOL! As for this issue of JLA, I loved it, with only two complaints: Hawkgirl didn't actually get to DO anything, and I never figured out why the Hawks didn't just take an Adaptoid to Thanagar and use it to cure the entire Equalizing disease...!russellnoreply@blogger.com
