One thing I like about DC is that no character or concept is too old or off of center for them to dust off and give another shot every once in a while. Detective Chimp had fallen well off the radar when he was reintroduced as a member of Shadowpact. I really enjoyed the work that Bill Willingham did with him on the title.
My favorite JLA/JSA crossover was the George Perez-penciled 3-parted featuring the Secret Society of Super Villains. It was there I was introduced to the Ultra-Humanite, in his simian form. I've been a big fan of his ever since, and was happy to finally find a cover to use him in.

That JLA/JSA story was MY introduction to the Ultra-Humanite as well. I bought the story as it originally came out. It also was my introduction to how great comic book simians are!
Yea, that was a classic. How did I miss this one? Awesomeness!
I would rather see Abin Sur on an Elseworlds-style cover. Like, if he had crash-landed in Africa and the nearest fearless being was...MOGO THE BAT-APE!
Can you imagine the fun if he ran across his planet-sized namesake in outer space? LOL!
