The Flash and Monkeyman & O'Brien

 

Apes and comic books have been intertwined for as long as I can remember.  For my money, nobody illustrates primate action better than Art Adams.  That's just one reason that his Monkeyman & O'Brien stories are such a fun read.

Captain Marvel and King Kong

 

CGI is the special effects language of movies these days, but classics like the original King Kong and The Adventures of Captain Marvel boasted some very impressive practical effects for their time.  I'm sure young audiences thrilled to the wonders before them.  The only thing cooler would have been to combine the two properties.

Hellcat and Cheetah

 

Cheetah has had a bunch of different appearances over the years, from a woman in a cat suit to full on woman/cat hybrids.  I think this George Perez design from his 80's Wonder Woman reboot is my favorite version.

Two-Face and The In-Betweener

 

I had to come up with a fitting pairing for STF #5050, and my favorite villain Two-Face was a natural fit.  I noticed that The In-Betweener had a similar fashion sense and the cover came together from there.

Stripesy and Dum Dum Dugan in: "Dr. Monstro's Onion Men!"

 

I thought it was time to bring back the greatest redhead brother team of Earth-STF.  Regular visitors will remember that these two were first revealed as siblings in STF #3241...

Legion of Super-Pets and Cosmo


 This would be an enjoyable battle to see.  The High Evolutionary is one of the more vile villains out there, and it would be fitting to see his comeuppance delivered by a team of animal heroes.

Power Girl and Power Rangers

 

Sure, there's a new Supergirl movie coming out soon, and Milly Alcock is a talented actress - but I think a lot of comic fans are wondering when Power Girl is going to make her live action debut.  I mean, Sydney Sweeney is sitting right there, perfect for the role!

Catwoman Vs. Daredevil in: "Hostile Witness!"

 

Catwoman and Daredevil previously met on the blog in STF #2311, and I thought that it was time to get them together again.  Being able to use the amazing artwork of Tim Sale only made it more fun to put together.

The Falcon Vs. Deathstroke in: "The Wilson War Rages On!"

 

These two first battled in STF #3976..., and I thought that it was time for a rematch. It looks like this time there might be a greater for for both of them to battle together.  It might be interesting to see them forced to work together.

Batman and the Outsiders and Power Pack

 

Two great 80's teams, together at last.  I'm not sure if their current predicament is that cause of Kobra or The Serpent Crown, but it would be interesting to find out.

Big Barda and Dart

 

With this adventure, Barda has finally completed her new team.  I did see at least one correct guess in the comments, congratulations!  Regular visitors will remember that she recruited Xena in STF #5011, Hellcat in STF #4964 and Red Sonja in STF #4881. Now all that remains is for the New Furies to assemble together.

Metal Men and The Angel

 

I thought for this cover, I would share where the character images came from.  As you can see, there was a bit of patchwork and rearranging required to get to the cover scene that I had envisioned.

Dick Tracy and Iron Fist

 

An odd couple to b sure, but it would be fun to see the city's top cop working alongside the martial arts master of K'un L'un...

The Greatest American Hero and The Tick

 

This would have been a TV crossover that I would have loved to have seen. I can just imagine the superhero tips that The Tick would provide to his less confident new ally.

Daredevil & The Black Widow and The Spectre

 

I saw a chance to do a Gene Colan inspired cover and I went for it.  Colan is one of those artists that I did not appreciate as a kid, but now I recognize as one of the best and most unique in the art form.

Daredevil first met The Spectre in STF #3067...

Green Lantern and Photon in: "Overcharged!"

 

Photon can wield and control light and energy, so it would be interesting to see her get a direct infusion from the Central Power Battery.  What effect would it have on her, though?

Green Lantern and Photon first met in STF #4019...

Triton and The Elongated Man

 

It was only a matter of time before the deadliest underwater  denizen of Earth-STF showed up again.  Let's hope that our heroes are up to the task of turning that evil into a force for good!

Robocop and The Iron Giant

 

Now, this is a buddy cop movie that I could really get into.  The no-nonsense Murphy partnered with a plucky new recruit like the Iron Giant would make for some fun big screen action.

X-Men and The Atom (Part Two)

 

Continued from yesterday's cover, we see who has been tormenting the Mighty Mite.  I guess he is action figure sized, so perhaps Arcade just couldn't resist creating game time around him.
