Elongated Man and Ant-Man & The Wasp

 

I always enjoyed the backup tales featuring Ralph and Sue Dibny involved in a quick mystery.  Clever twists and cool stretching scenes made them a delight to read.  I can definitely see Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne joining in on of their investigations.

Reminds me of JLA / Avengers crossover issue 3
Antman: Good to see you again Ralph.
EM: Sue sends her best, you two--
EM: --And suggests we should get together for Chinese and some Mystery-Solving!
EM: Uh that last bit was my part, Not Sue's.
Wasp: We could tell.

I wonder if they're helping find out whatever happened to his other partner (Moon Knight)?

By this point, he's probably hanging out with Ferris Bueller!

Not much of a Bob Layton fan, but the Ant-man and Wasp combined with the Ty Templeton Elongated Man and an angry Sue from Secret Origins #30 just has that chemistry that works. Thank you!

I'll take Bob Layton (especially his Iron Man artwork) over Franks Robbins and Springer, any day.

I think there should be an ongoing Elongated Man series with Ralph and Sue solving mysteries in a Silver Age fashion.

Agree.

More likely, Moon Knight was captured by Solomon Grundy (@STF #4743) on behalf of Darkseid (@STF #4614) in retaliation for aiding the Inhumans' counter-attack against him (@STF #4464) behind the scenes. All because Darkseid was preoccupied in personally punishing Calvin and Hobbes (STF #4751) for pulling a fast one on him post-STF #3635. Namely; stealing his killing glove while Hobbes was disguised as Prince T'Challa (@STF #4083) and substituting a luminous-painted rubber replica filled with rotten egg salad!

Uh, no! Pretty sure he's just playing hooky with Ferris.
