... r whatever reason, so that event remained a few years in the future. Superman of Earth-Two reappeared, though without his Earth-One version, in _JLA_ #107-108 (1973), in which the two Justice groups teamed with Quality's heroes of the Golden Age to bring down Nazis who had won World War II. At last, Supes was sporting some white at the temples, and had a great scene in which, facing down German rifle bullets, he grinned and said, "Ratzi, I don't know where you've been hiding all these years ... but I cut my baby teeth on skunks like you!" Len Wein, Dick Dillin, and Frank McLaughlin were responsible for this one. It would take four more years to g ...

... Marbles Tournament!" Exciting stuff indeed. On number 106, Superboy flipped pancakes while Dover and Clover watched. He received no mention at all on #107. MORE FUN was apparently not one of the publisher's best selling titles. Superboy only ran there for six issues before the entire book's line up was changed radically. In April 1946 came the big switchover. Superboy, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Johnny Quick all moved to ADVENTURE COMICS, where they joined the Shining Knight. All the other ADVENTURE strips were canceled except for Genius Jones, which joined Dover and Clover in MORE FUN. MORE FUN then became purely a funny comic book for the first ...

... ure appeared with a strangely familiar bottle sitting in his laboratory. Superman drove Tolos away from the secret place known as Sanctuary [SUPERMAN #107, Dec 1995], and the master of Kandor began to plot his revenge. The mad Tolos finally made his move against the Man of Steel in the three- part "The Bottle City" story, starting in ACTION COMICS #725 (Sep 1996). While Tolos planned to capture the Kryptonian's body for use in his bottle city, Superman and a Daxamite inhabitant of Kandor worked together to defeat Tolos. Superman himself best explained Tolos as a "nasty little creature" who has "apparently existed for centuries and spent his time ...

... the ultimate to do list. Last month (quite rightly) he told Rosebud that he would someday get to the bottom of who was behind Brawl. Back in SUPERMAN #107, Supes swore that one day he would hunt Tolos down and liberate the prisoners within his Bottle City. ACTION COMICS aids and abets that promise as it ushers in a new three part story: The Bottle City. If the superhero won't go to the Wizard, then it follows that the Wizard will go to the hero. And he is a wizard piqued, with mayhem and incarceration on his mind. A Grummett/Rodier cover shows Tolos, mighty wizard, and his Bottle City -- great nails! Tolos, last seen in "The Trial of Superman ...

... e combined efforts of Kara and her latent Atlantean magic; the rest of the Justice League; and, most importantly, Kara's now-adult son, Equinox. (JLA #107-108; 1996) While this new child is not a part of the Superman family, nor does his mother any longer bear any Kryptonian roots, it is interesting to consider that neither Power Girl nor Equinox would exist were it not for a special creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. ___________________________________________________________ And Who Disguised As... ------------------------------------------------------------------ A Column of Opinion By J.D.
