There is no doubt in my mind that when Bridwell was given the assignment, he saw it as an unparalleled opportunity to go ape with a Justice League book of his own. Fradon's art is terrific, the Global Guardians were some genuinely interesting additions to the DCU, and even simplified for younger readers the stories were solid superhero adventure of a Golden Age vein.<br /><br />I've just wrapped up a read-through of every issue of the original Justice League of America, and I can honestly say that there are more good-to-excellent issues of Super Friends than there are of the mainstream JLA book from the same era...Calamity Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800364546694770009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243661303845968536.post-39057588877107555932015-09-21T09:58:09.298-07:002015-09-21T09:58:09.298-07:00I enjoyed the living hell out of DC's SUPER FR...I enjoyed the living hell out of DC's SUPER FRIENDS comic. The old-school art stylings of Ramona Fradon were a perfect fit for Nelson Bridwell's stories, which were whimsical and kid-friendly without being moronic. Well, not MORE moronic than most other comics of the era. The Tony Stark gag in this issue made me laugh out loud at the thought of heroes from The Big Two all hanging out off panel. What the hell, I was young. Ish. In a subsequent issue, Bridwell forever endeared himself to me by writing an encounter between two underworld types with Big Secrets---said "criminals" being Matches Malone and Eel O'Brian! Great stuff, I tells ya.James W. Fry 3.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/11996867254857648771noreply@blogger.com
