Invaders Vs. Solomon Grundy in: "The Battle Above!"

 

I wonder If Solomon Grundy was affected by the Comics' Code Authority.  He was technically a zombie after all, which were against the Code for some time - prompting Marvel to present stories about "zuvembies".

Solomon Grundy previously met The Invaders in STF #3623, and faced off against Captain America in STF #1430...

Justice Society of America Vs. Kang in: "Chronal Detention!"

 

Presenting part One of a Three-Part Epic!  A blurry image of Kang from early promotional materials for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has made the rounds, and it looks promising.  It's small and he is only seen in a reflection - but it does seem to look like Kang will indeed have the classic appearance from the comics.  I enjoyed Jonathan Majors in the final episode of Loki, and I think he will be even better here.

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see where the story goes in Part Two!

Kang first encountered the JSA in STF #2294...

Green Lantern and the Hulk / Hourman Vs. Giant-Man

 

I've always liked a good back up story in comics.  They were usually as good as the lead feature (unlike many of the "B" sides to record singles that I would pick up).  Some of my favorites were Elongated man solo adventures in Detective Comics, Whatever happened to...? in DC Comics Presents, and Green Lantern or Firestorm in The Flash.  

Wildcat and Black Cat (Vs. The Red Skull!)

 

I was surprised to find an early Red Skull image from Martin Nodell.  I had always associated him with DC Comics and Green Lantern.  I guess even in the Golden Age, creators would switch back and forth between companies.  Too bad this cover was almost completed before I realized he was the artist, I would have switched out Wildcat for Alan Scott.

I do like these two together, though.  They first met in STF #2875...

Daredevil and Green Lantern in: "Trial... and Horror!"

Daredevil teamed with the Hal Jordan Green Lantern in STF #1528 and later on in STF #1960...
I thought it might be interesting to discover just who it was that recommended Matt Murdock to Hal for membership in the GLC in those issues.  Who Better than Alan Scott?  DD's original costume always looked more Golden Age than Silver Age in design to me, anyway, so I think these guys look good together.
