Decent Comics: "A Thorn By Any Other Name" by Levitz, Staton, and Layton

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! It's time for another jammin' JSA adventure courtesy Paul Levitz, Joe Staton, and Bob Layton! "A Thorn By Any Other Name" (from All Star Comics #72, February 1978) brings back the original Thorn, who happens to be a baddie on Earth-2! I miss the good old days when a villain (or, as in this case, villainess) had a bunch of thugs wearing matching costumes to show whom their boss was. You could really see where those Groovy Age villains invested all'a that stolen loot!

Bad news: this is Bob Layton's last time inking JSA over Joe Staton's pencils. The end of an era!
