Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! The Summer of 73 was one of the best ever for Young Groove (as I rapped about on the Marvel Splashes post
here). Lots of time in the swimming pool, lotsa visits with/from my cousins, cool music on the radio, and an awesome array of comics, natch! While Marvel-mania was in full swing, DC was pulling out all the stops, too! Len Wein and Dick Dillin brought back the
Freedom Fighters in
JLA, Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams gave us their ultimate
Joker tale (and Neal's most iconic
Batman pic), King Kirby was going nuts on
Kamandi and
The Demon, and Dave Cockrum's art gave the
Legion of Super-Heroes a new lease on life! Old faves like Novick, Kubert, Swan, Beck, Heath, and Glanzman were showing us how great comics should look, while new guys like Chaykin, Simonson, and Wrightson were blazing new trails. And what about the fellas from the Philippines like Nino, Alcala, and DeZuniga? Wow!! But hey, why am I rappin' when you could be gettin' all googly-eyed? Onward!!
