MUST. HAVE. THIS.Showcase Presents All Star Comics Vol. 1
Man oh man, the 1970s Justice Society and the All Star Super Squad, set firmly on Earth-2, which really did have a different feel, tone, and vibe than Earth-1... and before all this Crisis Crap.This was groundbreaking stuff back then... Superman and Lois were married, and he was graying... but otherwise Wally Wood drew him just like he just stepped out of the Golden Age... which he did. Wood's Power Girl was something to behold... much more enticing (okay, hot) than Supergirl ever was.
Back in those days, the Earth-1 versions were static... and boring, frankly. But the Earth-2 versions could be married, have kids, etc. And they did. Batman was retired and had married Selina Kyle, the Catwoman. Their daughter was the Huntress, Helena Wayne, beautifully rendered by Joe Staton. And when the characters died--as The Batman of Earth-2 did--they stayed dead!
I have all these comics, have had them lovingly preserved since they first came out... but yeah, I'm getting this collection anyway. It's a must-have.
