Inspired by The Lost 100-Pagers and Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues, I've decided to create my own take on comic book covers. These are all-original art illustrated by me, Reno Maniquis. Thank you and a good afternoon. Excelsior!

The Dynamic Do-over

 


Out with the old, in with the… old? Powerman and Owlman, as far as I know, made one appearance each. Well, Powerman made two if you count the time his story was reprinted in the Bronze Age. Powerman was a robot built by Superman to fool Batman and Robin into not helping him out on a case because he thought it was too dangerous for them. Owlman, on the other hand, was Robin who was artificially accelerated into adulthood by fumes from a box that Superman found in outer space. So, yeah, it’s your typical Silver Age shenanigans from the World’s Finest team.

I really hope people get the joke in this post. 😁 Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whichever you prefer!

Alison’s Blare

 


Would Dazzler have been more successful if the planned multimedia venture between Marvel and Casablanca Records had pushed through? I wonder who would have played Dazzler in real life? They would also have needed to sing her songs. What would the songs have sounded like?

Marvel would apply the same tactic again a decade later with Nightcat. But that failed miserably. So maybe Dazzler’s future wouldn’t have been too different, after all?
