Brilliant just as I remember. May 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The second in the League of super heroes and the best. The stories were a success with the league finally being freed from the Superboy comic as a second story to their own book. The characters, setup and ethos had all been sorted out along with names and origins.
The stories are good, just what I remembered from my youth. Whilst not having the angst of say Marvel's X men the super heroes are an entertaining read. Sure the DC vision of the future is humorous for some of the 'future devices' but hey this was the age BEFORE video recorders sinclair computers, 'cell phones' and you've only got to watch a programme such as Space 1999 with the scientists using slide rules (ask your Granddad!!) to appreciate we all can't get it right??
This is a wonderful value book. Black and white but American comics always had writers, drawers and inkers. (the guys who colored the things in like the old paint by numbers sets we used to get,
(ask your Gran!) And no one bought a book for the inking did they???
Why 4 stars?? Well the book is not as good as the BATMAN showcases which are standout 5s for story and plot. But worth a punt. Cheap as chips (Not micro)
