Burger Masters in: "When Hoards the Hamburglar!"

 

A lot of times when I present a STF Team, it's with the intention of bringing them back for more cover appearances.  Burger Masters was one that I considered a one-off, but I liked the group and I thought I found a suitable antagonist for them to face, so I thought that I would give them a sophomore outing.  The hungry group first appeared back in STF #350.

Captain Hero and Super Dagwood (Vs. Wimpy!)

I have been wondering whether to check out Riverdale.  I enjoy the CW superhero shows, but I am not crazy about a lot of the romance subplots they include.  I figured Riverdale would focus mostly on that aspect what with the classic Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle, so I didn't bother to watch.  I've heard some good things though.

Captain Hero and Super-Dagwood first joined forces in STF #1494...

Popeye and Superman

Now this is a team up that really should have happened - in animation!  Fleischer Studios was not only responsible for the classic Superman cartoons that inspired Bruce Timm and Paul Dini to create Batman: The Animated Series -  they produced over a hundred Popeye shorts as well.  How cool would it have been to see them pair their two superhuman characters together for a crossover cartoon?

I don't know what I was thinking the day I made this one. I originally was just going to do a Superman/Jughead cover and it kind of grew from there.  Hopefully we have finally had our last snowstorm here in Massachusetts and I can start grilling again, looking at this cover again is making me hungry!
