Justice League Of America Boot Quiz

As I mentioned in a comment on Mark Perigard‘s blog the other day, I’m still collecting olf Justice League of America and Green Lantern issues from the 60s and 70s, and recently picked up JLoA #113 and #114, two of the 100 Page Giants that DC were doing in the mid-70s.

Flipping through the issue made me realise just how different things are these days, over 40 years later. As well as an all new story featuring the League, a Justice Society reprint and another reprint from an early issue of JLoA (the classic Crisis on Earth-Three), #113 also had a handful of other . . . errr . . . features like the quiz about which boots the League members wear.

Seriously – this was a big enough deal that it was promoted on the cover!!

I’m guessing this was long before DC started bragging that comics weren’t just for kids.

Of course, I can’t mention this without offering you the chance to compete, so here’s the quiz – remember, you need to think as though you’re reading this in 1975. Answers after the fold.

Have your guesses ready? Click below for the answers.

Bloodlines Annotations Done

If everything goes to plan, by the time you read this, the Bloodlines annotations will be published – you can find them here or by clicking the logo on the right hand side. Notes on issues #1 and #2 of Bloodbath as well as write ups of the annuals, collection of house ads, notes on what happened to the characters following the story and a couple of other pages along the way.

If you notice anything wrong in the notes, use the Contact Me form at the top of the site to get in touch and you too could see your name in lights on the Acknowledgements page.

Boy Wonders

Because I never met a pun I didn’t like.

Am I alone in thinking Jason Todd looks like a Jack Daniel’s sort of guy?

Bloodbath Annotations Done

Well that took me a damn sight longer than I expected, but the annotations for Bloodbath #1 and #2 are complete; I just need to do some tidying up, add some links, create a couple of side pages and I’ll be posting them.

I’m sure that’s just what you’ve all been waiting for!
