Short Post, Gotta Run
Eep! Not a lot of time to talk today, have to go and vote. Our local Selectmen are up for election, and I have to be sure and vote against the guy who wants to enforce the blight laws. He wants to make sure nobody has any unregistered vehicles cluttering up their yards. I currently have a firetruck, a '65 Mercedes, and another firetruck in the Carriage House...all unregistered. I LIVE for blight!
Um...anyway, here's a nice picture of the Justice League. It has nothing to do with anything, I just like it.
Now go and do your civic duty!

Is that the Creeper in the front center? He looks odd to me, is that chest hair? I don't remember him on the Justice League. I also don't get his design. Is all that hair coming out of his upper back and just draped over him?
Hi Sally.
I love big casting pictures like this ^^ I can play "Who is Waldospandex ?"
In france curiously Marvel comics were always available but DC's were very difficult to find, in fact DC universe seemed not selling good (this changes since several years now and editor proposes DC comics), but I don't know some "old" characters or designs.
Could you please told me who are the character I don't know?
1- the one between Mister Miracle and Green Arrow on the left. Is she Zatanna?
2- the one on the left of Red Tornado with the black glasses.(No idea at all)
3- the one on the right of Booster is she Vixen?
4- finally the one on the right of Captain Marvel (this one remembers me something but i don't remember what... ^^)
Be carefull one day the Thunderbolts would come for you, unregistered Sally ^^.

Yeah, this has always been one of my favorite group shots...
patric: Yeah, that's Creeper. And I've got a one word explanation for his freaky design: Ditko
Seriously, he threw his costume together at an actual costume shop. That's a boa-like red drape over his yellow back. Clashes awesomely with his green tighty pants.
Because he's insane, that's why. Creeper, not Ditko. Well.. we won't go there...
nicodemus:
1 - Yep, that's Zatanna in her worst costume ever. And she's had bunches.
2 - That's Vibe. He causes earthquakes and breakdances while yelling things like "Hombre!" "Chica!" "Holy Frijoles!" and "Muchacho!"
I wish I was kidding.
3 - Yep, Vixen. For a fashion model, she has lousy taste, doesn't she?
4 - That's Waldo. I mean Steel. Or Captain Steel. Whatever. He's robot-y.
Sorry if I stole your thunder, Sally - I figured you'd be busy voting and feeding your junkyard dogs and whatnot.
Yep, I did my civic duty. Here in Indianapolis we have a VERY close race for mayor, due mostly to property tax increases. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
And, yeah, I agree -- Zatanna's costume during that era ... WORST EVER. :-\ And Vixen had Wolverine hair. Or is that blue-and-furry Beast hair?
Yes, Patrick, that IS the Creeper, and that is one damned ridiculous costume, but then so is the Creeper in my opinion.
Folded Soup beat me to it, but that is the WORST costume that Zatanna ever had. I really loathed that weird thingie on her head.
#2 is Vibe. Scipio over at the Absorbacon LOVES him. He is deceased at the moment.
#3 Yeah, that's Vixen back in her cornrow days. God, that was a ridiculous hairstyle. I much prefer her current one.
#4 I blush to admit that I couldn't remember this guy's name for the life of me, so thanks to Soup!
I could also never quite figure out what the hell it was that Gypsy did, except run around in bare feet, which must have been cold in the Winter. I also find it hilarious that Hal is standing quite FAR away from Guy.
Better yet, how many of these folks are dead & how many have died?
Dead
Vibe
Gypsy
Firestorm
Rocket Red
Mister Miracle (Haven't read Death of New Gods)
Blue Beetle
Elongated Man
Dr. Fate
Flash (Barry Allen)
Died but feeling better now
Superman
Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Red Tornado (every other month)
Hey Dwayne!
Booster Gold was sort've dead in 52, but he's better now too!
However, I understand your point, and I am TOO depressed.
And just think of how many times have the Metal Men "died" and been brought back? ;-)
I love robots. :-)
Was Hawkman ever really dead?
Gypsy is alive, I think.
She is a member of Simone's Birds of Prey.
(please she is alive?! Unless she died very recently ^^.)
Thanks for the explanations ^^ thanks for the laughs foldedsoup ^^!
I remember having seen this costume of Zatanna, must be in the Alan Moore's Swamp Thing (bliss), must check it. I am not sure.
It is horrible. Vixen's hair too.
I hope Ted to be alive soon :)
Who as the prize for the most several deaths? Donna Troy? (she must beat Duncan Idaho ^^)
N.
Gypsy is still alive - she was in Birds of Prey #101-103 or so I think (when they're down in Mexico).
Mister Miracle's alive still as well, at least for now. I believe he 'escaped death' at least once in the past, though, and depending on what happened he might fall in the 'died but feeling better' category.
The only time that costume of Z's with the lobster barrette ever really sort of worked is when George Perez first drew in JLA...(but even then...)
Actually, as I recall, it did follow that grey pantsuit with the giant, prehensile ponytail she sported after her mother died, so at the time, it was an improvement. But certainly not better than fishnets and a tophat!!
