For this 43-year old in SWCT, it was WNEW channel 5, later on to WWOR channel 9.<br /><br />By the way, Bugs Bunny did a takeup on Superman in 1941's Super Rabbit, taking the Paramount cartoons from the Fleischer Brothers and mocking them. It's funny!<br /><br />Seeing the images of this comic...THIS SCREAMS LAUGH OUT LOUD! But is also showing how much love there is for the comics and for Bugs.<br /><br />"The first panel has the very classic 'va-va-voom' Dream Girl, tossing in her bed."<br /><br />Speaking of va va voom...Supergirl in her hot pants outfit...YUM! Sadly though she is battling a major fever.<br /><br />"We then get a Brainy-Kara kiss. Something that will always make me happy."<br /><br />Yeah, I always "ship" SuperBrain myself.<br /><br />This is I think one of those comic books where you can check your brain at the counter and let the laughs fly. Eh, I think I'll try to get it, doc!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-86873012309267093722017-06-19T15:58:13.791-04:002017-06-19T15:58:13.791-04:00I just wanted to thank John for that wonderful his...I just wanted to thank John for that wonderful history lesson.<br /><br />Also, I loved this issue.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50885268015379616132017-06-19T12:33:50.720-04:002017-06-19T12:33:50.720-04:00Those readers who aren't as old as me (!) migh...Those readers who aren't as old as me (!) might be interested to learn that Light Lass had Rigel Fever in Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes #207 (April 1975). In the following issue Saturn Girl tells Sun Boy to "cool up".<br /><br />On the subject of the Fatal Five, one of the reasons I enjoyed the recent Supergirl #8 so much was because of the superb full-page picture of the Emerald Empress causing carnage and attacking Supergirl and Superman. It reminded me of Validus' rampage through Metropolis in Adventure Comics #366.John (somewhere in England)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-45224475327215008922017-06-19T09:24:37.328-04:002017-06-19T09:24:37.328-04:00Great review, oh boy, how I miss the Legion, it wa...Great review, oh boy, how I miss the Legion, it was so good to see them with Bugs.

Brainy expecting his newest gadget will NOT try to kill them all? Bugs being Bugs (backwards logic. A classic!) Mordru IN LOVE with the Miracle Machine (God, the mental image... He definitely had to be stopped, no matter what)? Bugs being immune to angst? The homages? <br /><br />"This panel layout looks so familiar. Is this an homage too??"<br /><br />Well, the chapter's title is "Funeral for a Friend" Maybe it's a nod to that storyline?<br /><br />It's so nice to see the Pre-Crisis Legion, and Supergirl being treated as an important team member, even if she was in a coma most of time.<br /><br />I think that Supergirl/Brainiac kiss is a good contender for the "2017 top ten Supergirl moments: Honorable Mentions" list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
