Here's how you can help to support Super-Team Family, The Lost Issues!

 Do you enjoy following Super-team family: The Lost Issues, and  would like to ensure that it keeps going?  Here's how you can do just that!

It is time once again for my once a year reminder about how you can help out - while this blog is a labor of love for me, it remains a one-man operation and can be quite time consuming to keep up on a daily basis, while trying to maintain or improve the quality. 

The blog will of course always be free, but if you would like to help support it, there are a couple of ways to do so - by by making a one time contribution by clicking on the "Donate" button at the bottom of this page, or by becoming a Patron at Patreon.  While I welcome and take suggestions from anyone, Patrons of course get special consideration in that regard.

I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to check out my covers, and those who participate in the comments sections, whether on the blog itself, the Facebook Fan Page or my Twitter Feed.  I always enjoy hearing feedback and I read every message with amusement, appreciation and interest. I may not respond to every idea for a future cover, but I see them all and keep a list of every one that I feel has potential. you'll never know when a team up you suggested a year or so earlier might suddenly show up.

We just passed the 5,200th STF cover on the blog (Plus the 510 B&B and MTIO covers that it began with)!  I never would have made it this far without the support and encouragement that I have received over the years.  I look forward to sharing the covers that I have coming up.   Thank you all for stopping by for your daily dose of team up fun!

The Three Caballeros and The Three Amigos

 

Three Amigos is one of my favorite comedies.  There are so many quotable lines and the goofy humor throughout just strikes my funny bone.  It's not for everyone, I've shown it to some people who just don't get my affection for it (same goes for Young Frankenstein).  I thought it might be fun for the Amigos to cross paths with another singing trio from across the border. 

X-Men and The Justice League of America in "Crisis on Battleworld!"

 

Now we found out where the missing heroes from yesterday's cover have been.  This marks the third clash between these two teams.  They first met in STF #700, and then again in STF #2259...

Here's a larger look at today's individual stories: 

Cyclops and The Elongated Man

 

Just where did the teammates of these four famous co-stars disappear to?  That answer will have to wait until tomorrow, when STF #5200 hits the stands!

Ghost Rider and The Shadow

 

I don't think that a flaming skull-headed cyclist would be all that out of place in the noir world of The Shadow.  At the very least, I'd be interested in checking out a tale that combined the two.

Indiana Jones and Doctor Fate in: "Self-Sacrifice!"

 

When these two last met each other on the blog in STF #4988, Indy was seeking out Dr. Fate's help. It looks like Fate is the one in need of assistance this time around.

The Anti-Monitor Vs. Thanos

 

Who do you think wins this battle?  I don't see the Infinity Gauntlet here, so Thanos may be in for some trouble.

Uncle Sam and America Chavez

 

For me, today will be a fun day filled with family, food and fireworks. No matter where you hail from, I hope you are having a great Saturday as well!

Captain Universe and Plastic Man

 I wonder just who is wielding the Uni-Power this time out?  That certainly doesn't look like Woozy Wink's physique, so I think we can rule him out.

Nova and The Ray

 

With two brightly glowing heroes zipping through the cosmos, I think that this would be a visually interesting tale to depict - and a fun one to read about!

Batman Vs. Aliens (The Movie!)

 I remember a pretty well done Batman Vs. Aliens mini-series in comic book form back in the day, but how cool would a live action version of that match up been?  Get Ridley Scott or James Cameron back to direct and that would have been quite the blockbuster!

The Toyman invades Toy Story

 

Toy Story 5 seems like another huge hit for the franchise, both critically and commercially.  I'm looking forward to checking out the next adventure of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang.  This cover comes about from a suggestion by Marc Tyler Nobleman, comics' historian and Patron of this Blog.  Thanks, Marc!

Code: Red in: "The Benefactor!"

For the third appearance of Code: Red, I thought that it was time to reveal just who was behind the formation of this team.  Who better than the most famous redhead in comic strips? I'm glad she's using some of that Warbucks fortune for good.

Professor X and Racer X

 

For some reason, C-list villain Doctor Double-X has had some requests for an appearance on the blog.  The choice of heroes to face off against him seemed obvious to me.  This issue probably would not have flown off of the stands, but I think I would have been curious enough to want to read it.

Harvey Birdman and Two-Face

 

Two attorneys, both named Harvey but each operating with their own set of rules - It was only a matter of time before they crossed paths.

Doctor Strange and Batgirl

 

When I posted a cover featuring Commissioner Gordon summoning Doctor Strange a week or so ago, Ken Roskos (a Patron of this Blog) and others said that the set up called for a follow up cover.  I had to agree, so here's what had Jim Gordon so concerned.

Black Panther and Superman

 

Here's another pairing tat I have been meaning to get to for a while. It looks like they have their work cut out for them with these glowing monstrosities.

Green Arrow and Captain America in: "Batroc & The Behemoth!"

 

Following up from yesterday's Golden Age style cover, here I present a Bronze Age adventure between Cap and Ollie. It took some tinkering to remove Spider-Man from the original image - Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Captain America and Green Arrow in: "A High-Rise Heist!"

 

I was surprised to realize that I had gone this far without featuring a team up between these two heroes.  To make up for it, here's a Golden Age adventure - And up next tomorrow will be a Bronze Age style cover featuring them together as well.

All-Star Squadron and Woverine

 

Logan would have already been in operation when the All-Stars were formed, so it's not out of the questions that they would cross paths.  Hos healing factor would be a big help against that pesky Spear.
