So you read yesterday's description of that Blackhawk story from 1966 and you're thinking, "Sure, Fraze, it's a silly story with a cascade of improbable twists, but they're not especially unusual for a comic book story. Alien monsters? Interplanetary travel in seconds? Character suddenly developing super-powers? Just your typical day in a DC comic before the "realistic" reboots of the 70's. Nothing spectacular or over-the-top here. Show me something really strange."
Okay, you got it.
Here's an in-house ad for
Showcase #61, cover date April 1966 (on sale Jan. 25).
The scan is not the best, but there's a better version
here.
Yes, that's right. That's DC's ghostly spirit of vengeance The Spectre in outer space, punching a demon in the stomach while it bashes him on the head....
WITH THE EARTH!!!What was Marvel giving you at the time? Galactus (March 1966)???
Pffftt....
