FUN COVERS AND COMICS

WHILE THEY APPEARED ON THE COVERS TOGETHER, ALWAYS SEEMING TO BE HAVING FUN, GREEN LANTERN, WONDER WOMAN AND THE FLASH NEVER APPEARED IN STORIES TOGETHER. MUCH LIKE SUPERMAN AND BATMAN DIDN'T APPEAR IN THE SAME STORIES IN WORLD'S FINEST COMICS UNTIL THE PAGE COUNT WENT DOWN AND IT WAS DECIDED RATHER THAN DROP ONE OF THEM TO COMBINE THEM. GL, FLASH AND WW WEREN'T POPULAR ENOUGH AT THE END OF THE 40S FOR THE COMIC TO SURVIVE SO NEVER TEAMED UP BEYOND THEIR JSA STORIES.

COMIC CAVALCADE BECAME A FUNNY ANIMAL STRIP NEAR THE END OF ITS RUN.

IN THE MID 1980's DC HAD A BIG EXPLOSION OF NEW COMIC BOOKS CALLED THE DC EXPLOSION, PRIOR TO CRISIS OF INFINITE EARTHS. TWO YEARS LATER, THEY HAD THE INFAMOUS DC IMPLOSION. COMIC BOOKS WERE CANCELED WITH LITTLE NOTICE. CANCELED COMICS CAVALCADE IS AN IN-HOUSE PUBLISHING OF THE STORIES THAT WERE PAID FOR BUT WERE NOT PUBLISHED AND SOLD. ONLY A FEW DOZEN COPIES EXISTED AS FAR AS I KNOW.

FLASH COMICS WAS A BIT UNUSUAL. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A CHARACTER CALLED THE FLASH IN THE COMIC, HE ALTERNATED COVERS WITH HAWKMAN. BOTH HAD SOLO SERIES IN THE COMIC. THEN THERE WAS ALL-FLASH THAT DIDN'T HAVE HAWKMAN IN IT.

WINKY, BLINKY AND NODDY, THE THREE DIMWITS WHO HELPED RUIN THE FLASH.  THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY A HOMAGE OR RIPOFF OF THE THREE STOOGES.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT BUT STREAK THE WONDER DOG ACTUALLY TOOK OVER THE COVERS AT THE END OF GREEN LANTERN'S COMIC. AND LEAD SPOT TOO.
