April–May and August–September 1979. Here's an example of mid-period Superman/Batman team-up lunacy from WORLD'S FINEST COMICS: In WORLD'S FINEST #256 (above), Superman and Batman battle Lar-On, a Kryptonian werewolf (did they have wolves on Krypton? they had dogs …) accidentally released from the Phantom Zone. Unfortunately, the daughter of the scientist responsible for releasing him is scratched by the monster, leading a month later (in WORLD'S FINEST #258) to:

A were-unicorn? Denny, Denny … WTF? Is this a fetish thing?

The script asserts that because the disease is Kryptonian, it gives the werecreatures near-Kryptonian strength, so Sandy proves to be a bigger hassle for Superman and Batman than you'd expect. Worse, Batman, who's been more than usually dickish throughout, then undergoes a hideous transformation of his own:

Well, that's kind of scary, at least, although one can't help feeling like this dumb story is squandering the abundant talents of José Luis García-López, who nonetheless delivers some of the best art seen in this book since a couple of Neal Adams stories about a decade earlier. (The Superman/Batman story in the intervening issue, WORLD'S FINEST #257, was drawn by Dick Dillin and inked by Frank McLaughlin, which is uninspired, but at least better than George Tuska and Vince Colletta a few issues earlier.)

Still, like I said earlier, this is so dumb it's hard to resist, and the entertainment value of this run of stories is high. Who wouldn't want a whole trade paperback (or series of them) full of this nonsense?

August 1985. José Luis García López illustration from the WHO'S WHO entry for Dart (Erin Bia O'Rourke-Singh), a precognitive interstellar mercenary from the DC ATARI FORCE series.

#comics #who's who #atari force #dart #erin bia o'rourke singh #josé luis garcía lópez #the 1986 atari force special strongly implies she's bisexual #(she has a boyfriend in the ongoing series but her previous partner was a woman)
