Superman and Star Trek

 

Here's another movie crossover that would have blown my young mind.  Both franchises dealt with time travel, so who's to say the Ma of Steel couldn't run into the original crew of the Enterprise?

Superman previously met captain Kirk on the blog in STF #4049...

The Shadow Vs. The Kingpin

 

There may be some evil lurking in the hearts of all men, but Wilson Fisk certainly has more than his share.  Certainly enough to gain the attention of The Shadow!

Magnus: Robot Fighter and Swamp Thing

 

These two heroes may not have much in common with one another, but it would be cool to see them fight side by side.  All it would take is the right kind of adversary to bring them together.  I think that these mechanical menaces would fit the bill nicely.

Kamandi Vs. Galactus in "The Contingency Plan!"

This story is a direct sequel to STF #4368, where The Last Boy on Earth first met The World Devourer.  For this follow up tale, I figured that it was only appropriate to use Jack Kirby images, as he was the artistic genius behind both characters.

Infinity Inc. Vs. The Masters of Evil

 

Filming has completed on Avengers: Doomsday, and the movie is in the editing and special effects stage.  Word is that a first look teaser will be included in front of the next Avatar film, with lots of speculation as to what it will show.  My favorite guess is that the movie may undergo a last minute surprise name change - to Avengers Vs. X-Men!

Space Ghost joins Star Wars

 

It was only a matter of time before the greatest animated space hero crossed paths with the rebels from a galaxy far, far away.  I think that this is a tale with the potential for grand heroics and wide screen adventure.

Iron Man Vs. Solomon Grundy

 

There was a lot of clutter removal and background extension required on this cover.  Here is a look at the behind the scenes progress: 

Wonder Woman and Giant-Man

 

This cover is a rare example in which I actually own the original art to one of the components.  I picked this sweet Ron Wilson splash page up almost 20 years ago, and I still look at it daily.

4 Famous Co-Stars Join The Wacky Races

 

The Wacky Races was the ultimate cartoon crossover when I was a kid.  I figured I would have some of my favorite fictional vehicles join to competition for this issue.  I'm guessing this would be a seriously fast paced tale!

Justice League of America and Doc Savage

 

Between that signature haircut, the bulging muscles and the beautifully painted paperback covers, Doc Savage seemed like a superhero to me growing up.  I think he would he would have been right at home in a JLA adventure.

Thor and The Yellow Kid

 

I will be interested to see what Thor's role will be in Avengers: Doomsday.  As one of the final standing founding members, I imagine that he would be critical to the plot, but I'm not sure haw much of the film he will appear in.  Another question is whether this movie and the follow up Avengers: Secret Wars will be the cinematic swan song for the God of Thunder - until the inevitable MCU reboot that is!

Daffy, Bugs & Tweety enter The House of Mystery

 

Something tells me that Daffy got them into this mess and Bugs will have to figure a way out of it!  I loved the cartoons where Bugs Bunny would tangle with Witch Hazel, and I think this team up has a lot of potential for the same kind of antics.

The Demon and Two-Gun Kid

 

Time for another All-Kirby classic!  In addition to his superhero and monster comics, Jack Kirby also made quite an impression with his western heroes.  

Green Lantern Vs. The Super Skrull in: "Beaten to a Pulp!"

 

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer had Johnny Storm using the entire team's powers in a moment evocative of the Super-Skrull.  Secret Invasion featured Emilia Clarke as a character with Super Skrull abilities.  These were both just teases though, we really need to see the one true Super Skrull up on the big screen some day.  

These two first battled in STF #3172...

Dick Tracy and Shaft

 

Dick Tracy seems like the type of cop that would only work with a no nonsense partner.  John Shaft seems like he would fit the bill perfectly.  It might be pretty cool to see these two collaborate on a case or two.

 

Animal Man and Machine Man in: "Man To Man Defense!"

 

These two heroes first appeared together in STF #4095, and I thought I would bring them back together.  The FGG (Foreground Gun Guys) are back, and someone has to take them down, after all!

The Spirit and Wonder Woman

 

After all of the Femme Fatales that he has had to deal with, I wonder how The Spirit would react to working alongside the Avenging Amazon?  It would be cool to read about, especially if it was illustrated by a master of the form like Brian Bolland!

The Light Brigade in: "To Save the Shadow-Thief!"

 

For this, the fifth appearance of The Light Brigade, I thought I would include one of my all time favorite villains.  His simple concept and look really appealed to me as a kid, and it didn't hurt that I first saw him illustrated by the legendary Joe Kubert.

Sub Mariner and Aquaman in: "The Poseidon Pact!"

 

Time for a Golden Age meeting of  the ocean's greatest heroes!

Aquaman and Namor have a bit of history on this blog.  They last met with the Defenders in STF #3927, they were battling Mer-Mutates in STF #2270, tried to avert war in Issue #1105, faced the sea's wrath back in Issue #751 and starred in my very first STF two-parter in Issue #3 and Issue #4.

The Hulk and Blue Beetle in: "Bodyguarding Banner!"

 

This is the third meeting between these heroes.  They first met with Booster Gold and The Defenders way back in STF #165, and The Hulk almost replaced Booster in STF #1855... 

Blue Beetle took a little tweaking on this one.  Here's a peek behind the scenes:
