Tom versus the JLA number 130 or have you tried turning your computer on and off?

Welcome back for the Justice League number 130 to May 1976 issue featuring a cover by Ernie Chan.

Our story is Skyjack at 22,300 miles, written by Marty Pascoe, penciled by Dick Dillon, inked by Frank McLaughlin with issue being edited by Julie Schwartz. You might be wondering, you haven't done these in a while, Tom. Why are you doing one now? I don't know. I felt like it. I have a kid. I have a job where I make up stuff all the time. Between the two of those, the small amount of free time

I have, I like to just absorb things. I like to read as opposed to just produce stuff. That's all I'm doing during the day. But I got the urge. So I'm doing it. I might do it again. Might do it again in 10 years. Might do it again next week. Who knows? I'm going to keep you on your toes. I just want to do it often enough that you can't actually delete the feed from whatever

podcast aggregator you got going.

That's why it's mostly just to spite you, which is my motivation for doing almost everything

in life is to spite strangers.

So let's get right to our story.

Oh, roll call. I got to do that. In this issue,

we got Aquaman, the Adam, Black Canary, the Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and Superman.

Keep in mind, back before I started doing audio versions of these, I actually did blog posts,

which I've disappeared into the ether

of the internet, covering all these issues. So I think I did one about this. I couldn't find it,

but this is one of my favorite issues because it's one of the weirdest Justice League issues.

You'll see when we get to the end. It's very strange. It's also a flashback issue. So it's a,

we're already going way back in time. And now we're also saying, hey, this took place before issue

1.29. So this is like a throwback issue of an old issue, which doesn't matter to you guys. I'm

just confusing you now. It's referred to as a

casebook issue. This issue takes place right after they moved into their new satellite

headquarters and a fixed orbit 22,300 miles above the Earth. We see that it wasn't exactly a smooth

transition. There's obviously going to be a skyjacking involved. We start in Manhattan at dusk.

We see the flash running up the side of a building on 3rd Avenue, getting to the roof.
