Jerry Lewis Vacation

Seems odd to be dealing with Labor Day weekend and it still being August, but, this is the unofficial end of summer...

...and it wouldn't be Labor Day without Jerry Lewis, so, here's a few Adventures Of Jerry Lewis (#65 and #70, July-August, 1961 and May-June, 1962, both covers by Bob Oksner), with Jerry enjoying a tropical vacation as only Jerry can!

Happy Labor Day With The Legion

Happy Labor Day!  

May your day be better than that of the Legion of Super-Heroes, who were laboring as a chain gang, as shown on this Jim Starlin cover for Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #238 (April, 1978).

But, why were the Legion members in their 1960s costumes on this 1970s cover?

Well, this issue came about due to the dreaded deadline doom, and reprints Adventure Comics #359 and #360 (August and September, 1967), drawn by Curt Swan and George Klein, where the Legion was outlawed by Universo, a villain with a hypnotic power, who, after sneaking into the presidency under false pretenses, put the team in a particularly brutal prison.  Of course, the villain's dastardly plan was foiled by Superboy and the kids from the future.

Gorilla Labor With Jerry Lewis

Celebrating Labor Day, and in the bygone days, that would mean the MDA Telethon, hosted by Jerry Lewis, as he and his friends would monkey around on stage performing and having fun.

So. what's more fun that issues of Adventures Of Jerry Lewis, wherein Jerry faced a gorilla!

Happy Labor Day and Back To School

At one time, Labor Day in September meant it was back to school time...not so much now, especially with a late Labor Day this year....

...but kids who got the 1978 DC Calendar of Super-Spectacular Disasters likely wished Teen Titan foe Flamesplasher's plans to burn down the school weren't stopped by the Freedom Fighters!
