Tom versus the JLA, number 199, or for an extra 50 bucks, I would have also gotten the cowboy outfit.

Welcome back for Justice League of America, number 199, the February 1982 issue entitled Grand Canyon Showdown, written by Jerry Conway, pencils by Don Heck,

Inkers, Bread, Breeding, colors Carl Gafford, letter, Ben, Oda,

editor Lanween, cover artist is George Perez.

Our role call for this issue,

Superman, Green Lantern, A Long-Eighted Man,

The Flash, and Zatana,

with our special Western guest stars of Jonah Heacks, Skelp Hunter, Batlash, and Cinnamon.

All I have to say is that back in 1981, probably, when this was being written and drawn, I think they knew that I was going to be covering this on a day when I worked extremely late and just finished watching a basketball game.

And therefore, hope for a story that doesn't take me 50 minutes to talk about.

Because they did something great.

They gave me about five pages of recap.

I mean, for a comic book, that's a lot of recap.

You know, basically that the four of the Justice Leaguers are trapped back in the past.

The Lord of Time put him there to help him capture some anti-matter bubble that is faded to blow up in the Grand Canyon,

but the legal interfere and allow him to capture it.

Really, the only parts of note in this five-page recap is that Green Lantern's writing with Jonah

Hacks, and Green Lantern is riding on a green energy horse, which I think is pretty funny.

And then we also have, as the Lord of Time is explaining why he wants this anti-matter bubble

because it'll fuel his goals to conquer the world. We have a full page, a really unnecessary,

full-page drawing of him sort of orgasmically looking upwards and standing in a picture of a giant

explosion.
