Funny Stuff: "The Flash Meets Jerry Lewis" by Bridwell and Oksner

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! As Ol' Groove has rapped about in the past, Jerry Lewis has always been one of my favorite celebrities. Loved his movies, his work on the annual MDA Telethons, and of course, his comics. Since DC published his mag, The Adventures of Jerry Lewis, it was inevitable that Jerry would occasionally meet up with some of DC's super-heroes. Like in ish #112 (March 1969), where "The Flash Meets Jerry Lewis" by E. Nelson Bridwell and Bob Oksner. This one is kinda edumacational, too, since we find out where the bad guys (used to) get their costumes...

Black and White Wednesday: "Something to Remember Me By!!" by Tom Sutton

HooooOOOw's it shakin', Groove-ophiles! Isn't it about time we grooved to the macabre comicbook mastery of  the great Tom Sutton once again? Ol' Groove thought so, too! So let's flip through the pages of Creepy #44 (December 1971) until we find Mr. Sutton's cadaverous contribution, "Something to Remember Me By!!"

Decent Comics: "Lure for an Assassin!" by O'Neil, Grell, Austin, and Giordano

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Here comes yet another far-out Green Lantern/Green Arrow tale from the team of Denny O'Neil, Mike Grell, Terry Austin, and Dick Giordano! "Lure for an Assassin!" from ish #94 (January 1977) casts the spotlight on Green Arrow while, at the same time, giving John Stewart and Black Canary some shining moments. Wanna have some fun, Groovy Age style? Then let's gooooo!
