Welcome to Week 4 of Season 3 of a very special challenge / contest , reading **one single issue a week from the currently- digitized DC Universe Infinite collection of Silver and Bronze Age Superman and Family comic over an interesting space of time! (we had to read issues #1-3 in one week to keep up with each new issue being freshly-digitized).

As always, you can go back and read an issue and comment on it weeks after it is posted.

This time around: DC Challenge # 6, written at the very precipice of the Bronze Age before the Crisis rolled in the Modern Age officially at DC Comics . This is the Pre-Bryne Superman, the pre-Perez Wonder Woman.

Definitely one of the more unique Bronze Age writers this time around, known for his Superman stories.

  1. I was surprised, and even more surprised when they became an integral part of the story and not simply a cameo.
  2. In any other story, I wouldn’t have liked it as I’m not a fan of alternate histories. However, given how all-over the place this story is, I liked it. I’d say more, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it yet.

I really liked Jurgen’s art in this story. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time, but I really appreciate the Adams/Novick/Aparo influence I saw in his Batman.

Nyone have any other thoughts or want to join in on the fun?

  1. Yes, not a character I thought would be integral to a DC Comic.
  2. Not particularly, I prefer my historical characters to remain powerless, and interact with the SuperHero world as themselves, but some character was needed to show all the alternate versions of history.
