All-Star Comics #66

Cover Dated: May / June 1977 
Released: 22nd February 1977

Start with action I guess so we have the JSA getting their butts kicked by the Injustice Society, the more Silver Age versions of those in the Stargirl. One day I shall see my Kara in a live-action somewhere, because obviously, Geoff reads my little corner of the internet :D.

We then flashback to find them arrive back in the 20th Century, so Power Girl can make a comment that there better off to be a man short (she's a feminist you know) and Superman to bounce away to not be in the beatdown. The Injustice League is just the other side of the door yet his superhearing hears nothing!

As is standard the team split up with Power Girl going to Alaska with Starman, who decides to sweep up Kara in his arm, her face showing she is far from happy, missing the image of Power Girl showing up in Suadi Arabia. Everyone else bundles down to rescue Hawkman, joined by Doctor Fate, in a battle that even the comics admits was pretty easy.

We the go to South Africa, which one Earth-2 seems to be more like Wakanda, to meet grown-up Dick Grayson though still in his Robin costume (no short, short though) his butt uncommented on. We then get a one-page catch up with Green lantern meeting Psycho-Pirate and for no reason old Commissioner Bruce Wayne.

Finally, we get Power Girl fighting the Wizard and his giant eagles, even the Thinker in a snazzy Power Armour can't really hold her back, though Starman rushes in to try and get some of the glory. Proper irritated Power Girl snaps his wand and ends the fight, though Wildcat falls in a whole to apparently the centre of the Earth making it a little academic.

It's weird reading the little aside, keeping the plates spinning if you will, of plots that will come around in multiple issues time. Whilst now we're used to it on television its gone now from comics like this, who would guarantee the same writer in a comic in even a year these days.
