Three sources and they all look great together!<br /><br />ITEM: Ross, I'm not sure, but I think that the cover most of the JLA is from was done by Carmine Infantino, inked by Neal Adams. Might be wrong, though.<br /><br />ITEM: No one in the silver age ever said that the JLA headquarters was in Rhode Island. Snapper Carr lived in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island, but he had to travel quite a distance to get to JLA meetings; they modified his car so that it was an aircraft and didn't take an irregularly long time to get to meetings.<br /><br />ITEM: If you're looking for a villain for this piece, I believe the Construct fits the bill nicely.ELShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227481611148130555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-91382350982388725762016-10-14T12:09:52.193-04:002016-10-14T12:09:52.193-04:00Excellent rendering!

And Dr. Druid's recruitment of the Avengers to help Dane "the Black Knight" Whitman liberate the extra-dimensional island of Avalon from the Fomorians.*<br /><br /> If there were a real-life story to go with this team-up, however, I wonder who would be the super-villain. Arthur Light, perhaps? Using a sentient energy form to take over Iron Man's armor via the uni-beam disc on his breastplate? As I recall, two of Spidey's Marvel Team-Ups used a similar gimmick (i.e., the disembodied Lightmaster mind-controlling Quasar and Dazzler).<br /><br />*Except for Shellhead, of course, as ferrous metals are disruptive to Druidic magic!

The highest point in all of New England is Mount Washington, New Hampshire, at 1,917 meters (almost a mile-and-a-half). Whereas the highest point in all of Rhode Island, Jerimoth Hill, is only 247 meters (not even a quarter-mile)!<br /><br />So, if DC were to place "Mt. Justice" in Connecticut or Massachusetts, just _over_ the border from RI, it would be their most sensible piece of ret-conning in the last thirty years.Carycomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657443977195909129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-65107273090264231552016-10-14T07:39:16.476-04:002016-10-14T07:39:16.476-04:00A cave... in the side of a mountain... in Rhode Is...A cave... in the side of a mountain... in Rhode Island?<br /><br />I'm not from the USA, but in real life isn't that state actually rather... <i>flat</i>?Simreevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-22981483997553800712016-10-14T07:14:30.405-04:002016-10-14T07:14:30.405-04:00I first "joined" the League during the s...I first "joined" the League during the satellite years! one of the first comics I picked up was the infamous Black Lightning hazing issue and then from when Firestorm joined on.
