Classic. Kick-ass. And I don't care, Starro is still a great villain.

No. Seriously. Stan Lee said that he created the FF (and eventually The Avengers) as an answer to the Justice League. This is a tap in.

Re: Random Stranger - - Yup. That was Peter Parker's graduation from High School. There were some nice bits in that issue, as I recall, like Liz Allen revealing her feelings for Peter. Still not as notable as the first Justice League, but pretty notable all the same.

Have a good day.

Wasn't Amazing Spider-Man #28 when Peter Parker graduated from High School as well? I recall that corresponded with the Moltan Man issue.

And one more: The New Adventures of Superboy #28 saw the move of 'Dial H for Hero' from Adventure Comics (which was to become a digest book thenceforth IIRC). This was the version with the two kids and the reader-submitted heroic identities and villains, not the Robby Reed original. I suspect there may be some currently well-known creators and bloggers who made their creative debuts in that series, but the internet has mercifully declined to produce an index of 'winners' from that feature. The backup would last until near the end of that book's 54-issue run, after which they would only be seen in misguided 80s-nostalgia revivals...

New Teen Titans (v1) #28 is the first appearnce of Terra.

Zot! #28 was the first of the acclaimed (and until very recently uncollected) "Earth Stories" arc.

Oh, and DCCP #28 was the middle part of the Mongul/Warworld introducing three-parter.

Seriously. Bah on the Justice League. Pay attention to Starro the Conqueror! He's fascinating.

Don't forget that Brave and the Bold 28 is also the first appearance of Starro.

Seriously, Doom Patrol wasn't that good.

That really is an awesome cover! Sekowsky drew it, right? Easily one of his best. Compositionally, it's practically perfect. It's dynamic and the eye just flows around the page. (Although visually poor J'onn gets the short end of it here, too â€” Flash pulls your eye right back up to GL and then you go clockwise around again. You don't really see J'onn till the second or third time you take it all in.)

Darkhawk #28 was part 3 of the shattered fates story, which had Darkhawk and the New Warriors trapped in time by Zarkko, a time-travelling villain way too classy to have Darkhawk as a foe. In a development I'd love to see covered in Comci Book Urban Legends, it was goign on at the same time as an identical story about Darkhawk and the New Warriors being scattered through time (but the Sphinx) was going on in New Warriors. Was this going to be a crossover that fell through? A game of chicken where neither creative team blinked? Horrendous lack of comparing notes?

Hey, if I don't post Quasar info, I'll go lower. Sleepwalker #28? Deathlok #28? Night Thrasher? SuperPro? Force Works? 2099? Fantastic Force? Don't make me break out the Marvel UK issues...

Prodigy Brian wouldn't have let Banshee down in so blatant away.

Also, I love the preemptive Quasar mention.

Uh, DC Presents 28 has Jim Starlin drawing Mongul and Warworld. That's always sort of neat.

I've got nothing.
