Justice League Of America #195 October, 1981 posted by Mike Middleton @ 1:41 PM Friday, August 08, 2008
One of my first exposures to the great George Perez was this 1981
edition of the famed Justice League/Justice Society team ups. This was
around the same time Perez started doing the New Teen Titans, which was
another book I loved. I was immediately attracted to Perez' super clean
and dynamic style. You could tell he was influenced by Curt Swan, who I
really loved at the time (and still do). In this tale, they take on the
aforementioned Secret Society Of Super-Villains. Nobody could draw
large groups of heroes and villains like Perez, then or now.

JLofA #s 195-97 (Oct-Dec 1981): It's hard to top an Apokoliptian blowout, but darned if this team-up ("Targets On Two Worlds"/"Countdown To Crisis"/"Crisis In Limbo") didn't try. Perez was winding down his tenure on Justice League of America,
and he was helped a little by Keith Pollard, although you can't really
tell. The third team here is the Secret Society of Super-Villains,
headed by the gorilla-bodied Ultra-Humanite and including (from
Earth-2) the Monocle, Rag Doll, Brain Wave, Psycho-Pirate, and Mist,
and (from Earth-1) Killer Frost, Signalman, Floronic Man, and Cheetah.
Ultra figures that, by removing certain superheroes from both Earths,
it'll set up a cosmic chain reaction that will remove all the
superheroes from one Earth -- he doesn't know which.
If there's one truism that runs through
both the original Crisis on Infinite Earths and its thematic descendant
Infinite Crisis, it's that unexpected characters suddenly get a chance
to shine. Granted, Power Girl's not exactly a wallflower. She'd had
significant roles in series ranging from All-Star Comics to Justice
League Europe to Birds of Prey and JSA. She recently headlined the
much-discussed debut arc of JSA: Classified. And of course, she graces
the both variant covers for this week's Infinite Crisis #2. Still,
despite the fact that she's a perennially minor character, Power Girl
has a strident fanbase and certainly plays a crucial role in DC's
biggest project of the decade thus far. Where then did Power Girl
originate, and what were some of the highlights on her circuitous path
to crossover glory? (Writer's Note: Notice that I said some of the
highlights; this does not pretend to be a complete list of appearances)
(excerpt)
Justice League of America #195-197; JLA #207-209 (and All-Star Squadron #14-15) and JLA #219-220
(early '80s): While these appearances aren't mind-bogglingly
significant in the life of the character, they do represent several
occasions upon which Kara interacted with the heroes of Earth-1 during
the annual JLA/JSA crossovers. Most interesting is her cross-world
flirtation with the JLA's young hero, Firestorm. Writer Conway slowly
built this attraction over a few years. It has enough meaning for the
heroine that she goes ballistic in the early pages of #220 after
Firestorm has been injured in an ambush. These are all fun stories, and
it's amusing in retrospect that, in keeping with tradition for such
team-ups, most of them incorporated the word "Crisis" into their
respective titles.
