A Little Summer Fun With Superman, Batman And Robin

Not to be outdone, Superman, Batman and Robin had symbolic covers for the first 70 issues of World's Finest Comics as well before they started regular team-ups, like this playful cover of World's Finest Comics #60 (September-October, 1952) by Win Mortimer, with Batman and Robin, along with a few female friends, enjoying time on the lake waterskiing, using poor Superman as a source of locomotion.

Batman and Robin, as well as Superman, Green Arrow, the Manhunters Around The World and the western hero, the Wyoming Kid had separate tales inside the issue, not related to the fun on the cover as the Golden Age got closer to a close.

A Little Summer Fun With Green Lantern, Wonder Woman And Flash

Taking it easy with the heat as we get closer to summer, and showing this representative cover from Comic Cavalcade #3 (Summer, 1943) by Frank Harry, showing the Golden Age Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Flash having fun...while they, as well as Hop Harrigan and Sargon the Sorcerer have individual tales inside the title.

Oh, the innocent fun of the Golden Age!

Swing Into Summer With Green Lantern, Wonder Woman And Flash

Today is the first day of Summer, and, using Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Flash as a guide, you should be outside, enjoying the water....like they did on the cover of Comic Cavalcade #3 (Summer, 1943) by Frank Harry.

No scene like this exists in the comic....instead we are treated to separate stories of the heroes:

"The Invisible Invader" featuring Wonder Woman by William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter, "The Guy Who Liked Bananas" with The King by Gardner Fox and Jon Chester Kozlak, "Master Sgt. Meyer Levin, Bombardier And Hero" featuring real life hero Sgt. Meyer Levin by Jon L. Blummer, "A Little Savage Revenge" featuring fictional pilot Hop Harrigan, also by Jon L. Blummer, "The Man Most Likely To Succeed" with Sargon The Sorceror by John B. Wentworth and Sheldon Moldoff, "The Bushmster" featuring Green Lantern by Bill Finger and Stan Aschmeier,  and "The Laws Of Pumpkin Center" with the Flash by Gardner Fox and Lou Ferstadt (along with Mutt & Jeff one-pagers inside).

Best of all, this issue, along with Comic Cavalcade #1 and #2, were reprinted in the Comic Cavalcade Archive #1 (and only) in April, 2005.



Now, stop reading and go outside!!!
