Picked up a pile of 10 World's Finest Dollar Comics between 259-285 in Amsterdam yesterday and they're delightful I have to say. A real grab bag.
The first issue I cracked open (#259) happened to be the prize of the bunch with a
Superman/Batman
tale by Rich Buckler, doing a very pleasing Neal Adams riff, a
Green Arrow/Hawkman
story by my main man, Don Newton,
Black Lightning
(with afro) by Marshall Roges & Mike Nasser and a Shazam vignette by Don Newton again.
Who says lightning doesn't strike twice?!?
Talk about a great surprise.
None of the other issues have quite the same consistent quality but they all contain Don Newton on
Shazam
, which is the main attraction for me. Besides that, most of them have Buckler on
Superman/Batman
and even though he is a notorious rip-off artists and his swiping is quite blatant, I still dig his stuff, particulary when he is channelling Adams rather than Kirby.
They also contain a lot of Green Arrow by Trevor van Eeden, whose work is a lot better here than I recall elsewhere and even the Alex Saviuk/Rodin Rodriguez
Hawkman
work is uncannily reminiscent of Murphy Anderson.
These mothers contained enormous value, quality and variety for a mere buck. Marvellous stuff.
