Tom versus the JLA, number 258, or that's not a very dignified way to go.

Welcome back for Justice League of America, number 258, the January 1987 issue entitled

with Sharpen Teave screaming. It's our good friend Dr. Ivo. You may remember Dr. Ivo as the man who invented a mazo,

You know, he was once a brilliant scientist that was searching for mortality,
