    I don't know how I missed this one for all these years, but what a terrific surprise. I never knew Bridwell and Dillin worked together on anything other than the JLA/JSA/Fawcett three-parter a few years later. And how typical of Nelson that he'd touch base with every aspect of the character no matter how neglected, including talking to birds. Thanks for digging this out!

    I much preferred Joe Giella together with Dick Dillin on Justice League of America and World's Finest instead of became the norm, Frank McLaughlin. This was a rare occasion at this point with the two of them together on the backup Hawkman story.
