A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
Regular visitors to this blog will know that this cover serves as a direct sequel to STF #2805, in which these two heroes first pursued Rats McTattler. It looks like they weren't the only ones in hot pursuit! I felt that the tale was worthy of a follow-up as these two pulp heroes really do seem to go well together.

Wow Tracy looks like he was done in the Dark Knight mold with the angle used and the way his face is drawn. Rocketeer's flying minus x-ray vision or super hearing may not be enough to find the culprit unless Tracy already has an area to search. Good thing it's not a stormy night.
Hopefully there'll eventually be a third installment in this story, making it a nice, even trilogy. There's no rush, of course, but let's not ignore Rats' tale.
While I was revisiting Spider-Man: No Way Home yesterday, I also caught the trailer for Morbius (not for the first time), and the phrase "bat sonar thing" stuck out to me. I immediately started to wonder if Morbius had even been paired with Batman here. He has -- but not since the B&B days (once solo, and once with the Legion of Monsters)! Even his couple of run-ins with Man-Bat were way back in '12 and '13. I was envisioning an early 70s run-in, when Morbius was just starting out and Batman was still influenced by the Adam West TV series, but at this point anything would be welcome (even teaming a contemporary Morbius with the Vampire Batman -- though that would probably be more fitting for Halloween).
HERE THERE BE SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME
The only real disappointment with SM:NWH is the paper-thin story arc for Sandman and near-total lack of one for the Lizard. Just a few lines here and there could've fixed that. One commentator suggested that Sandman not turning fully human until the end indicated that his condition was turning terminal; perhaps that could be something that Flint could come to Wesley Dodds for help here. And we never see Dr. Connors' full reaction to his transformation back, and how he feels about it; how about another Man-Bat/Lizard cover where Dr. Langstrom is helping a contrite Dr. Connors to find a more permanent cure (both featured in their human forms)?
By "tranq dart," could you mean "blowgun dart?" As in blown out of a wooden tube by the Golden Age Huntress?
I mean, let's face it! The greatest quarry the Huntress would want to bag (after Wildcat) would be the legendary Dick Tracy, himself. And, as she most often worked alongside the Sportsmaster, I doubt the latter would be able to resist going after the Rocketeer. If only because the only field of sporting endeavor he had never yet mastered was aerobatic flying!
What a great cover, both in choice of match and in execution.
There are a lot of covers from the past which deserve a(nother) sequel. What are readers’ suggestions? I’ll start:
* Captains Marvel
* The Phantom and the Phantom Stranger
* Batman and Usagi Yojimbo (just to have the title Batman and Ronin)
I love it. This is another with a story that clear "should have".
I'm seconding the "Batman and Ronin" title. It's almost good as when I thought the Dr. Strange and the Phantom Stranger meeting should've been titled "Strange and Stranger!"
@Bob: Wouldn't most people think it was a reference to the Frank Miller graphic novel and expect to see that telekinetic cyborg originally known as Billy?
Not with Usagi Yojimbo on the cover. (Or maybe Clint Barton's "other" alter ego.)
I'd rather see Usagi Yojimbo team up with Thunderbunny.
I'd rather see Thunderbunny go up against Hoppy the Marvel Zombunny!
:-)
"The Case of the Dormant Informant"... *chef's kiss* Magnifico!
