Superhero Anydays
Today, we have the cover of the Justice League of American #135 from October 1976. I was 8, almost 9 years old, but I remember seeing this on the spinner rack. From the 'knowledge' of the Super Friends, I knew who Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were. But Robin was not a member of the JLA and that was a different mask. And how could there be two Flashes and two Green Lanterns? And Who were all these other headhots? I HAD to get the issue! And so I did.
This was one of the annual teamups between the JLA of Earth-1 and the JSA of Earth-2, and it also involved some heroes from Earth-S, where Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel JR lived. But none of them were here, it was a bunch of other heroes from that Earth.
I was intrigued!
From the JLA: Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Hawkwoman
From the JSA: Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Johnny Thunder, Robin, and Woder Woman
From Earth-2: Bulletman, Bulletgirl, Ibis the Invincible, Mr. Scarlet, his sidekick Pinky and Spy Smasher.
In the pic we have clockwise from top: Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Bulletman, Mr. Scarlet, Superman, Green Arrow, Batman, The Flash, Bulletgirl and Green Lantern all attack King Kull, a villain from Earth-S.

And today we also have a Robin cosplayer in an oddly colored but yet still snugly fitting and attractive costume.
