People of Earth-1 and Earth-2 are being inexplicably transported from one parallel world to the other, while their monstrous foes, Blockbuster and Solomon Grundy, are on the rampage, and, far out in space, a being from an anti-matter universe is approaching the planets. When the two monsters are also transferred to each other's Earths, it is the team of Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman, together with Black Canary and Dr. Mid-Nite, that must deal with Grundy, while Dr. Fate, Wildcat, and Sandman are joined by Batman in their pursuit of Blockbuster. At the same time, the Spectre discovers that the Anti-Matter Man's approach is causing the teleportation of people from on Earth to the other, and strives to keep the two planets from coinciding to their mutual destruction.

Synopsis: Taking care not to come into prolonged contact with their foes, les they be vibrated into Earth-3, the Justice Society members grapple with the Crime Syndicate. Hawkman defeats Johnny Quick, Dr. Fate overcomes Power Ring, Dr. Mid-Nite gets the best of Owlman, Black Canary beats Superwoman, and Starman outwits Ultraman. However, this time the villains have switched their strategy, and the mere act of claiming victory over their foes shifts the heroes into Earth-3, and they are imprisoned while the Syndicate stages a rematch with the Justice League. This time each hero faces his counterpart, and defeats him by increasing the villain's powers beyond the point of control. The Crime Syndicate is incarcerated in the transition zone between Earths, and the JSA is freed. Graphic Novelty² The DC Archives titles compile issues from a character’s archive. This one is Black Canary’s! Volume 1 contains her very first appearance in Flash Comics in 1947 up to a one-off in the early ’70s. First, Black Canary was featured in Flash Comics in Johnny Thunder stories. Johnny Thunder was a man who could summon a magic thunderbolt to help him in times of distress. Canary was a “Robin Hood” type at first, who stole from criminals to return them to their rightful owner. She soon grew so popular that she was co-billed with Johnny, then given her own feature in Flash Comics . Her backstory was fleshed out more: the nondescript and uptight Dinah Drake owned a flower shop by day, but transformed into the Black Canary to fight crime and solve mysteries, often coming to the aid of private eye Larry Lance. Early Black Canary stories are fast and fun – but formulaic, predictable, and of no particular substance. I started skimming after a few stories under her own title because they followed the same exact format. This is definitely something you’ll want to read at the beach or when you need something that doesn’t require much brainpower to get through. I did appreciate that, much like early Batgirl, Canary doesn’t take crap from her male counterpart. She gives Lance as good a ribbing as she gets. It didn’t seem to me that they particularly liked each other (though Lance obviously has the hots for Canary), so there was a weird jump in the book from 1949’s Flash Comics to 1965’s Brave and the Bold where they were married. I had known Dinah Drake and Larry Lance got married and had Dinah Laurel Lance (today’s iteration of the Black Canary), but I found it really strange that no more of their developing relationship was included in this book. My favorite story from this volume was the previously untitled “The Canary and the Cat!” published in 1972. The art is phenomenal! The lines are bold and heavy, yet precise in a way that reminds me of printmaking. Canary herself is witty and savvy, and though Green Arrow is mentioned she doesn’t pine after him. I want more of this Black Canary.

Industry leader Dell had fallen out of favor thanks to a 1962 split with client Western Publications that resulted in the latter producing comics for themselves—much of it licensed properties—as the widely-respected Gold Key Comics.

    FREEBLACK CANARY EBOOK Brenden Fletvher | 144 pages | 06 Dec 2016 | DC Comics | 9781401265274 | English | United States Black Canary | DC Universe Online Wiki | Fandom The original version was Black Canary by the writer-artist team of Robert Kanigher and Carmine Black Canarythe character debuted in Flash Comics 86 August Since the late s, Black Canary character has been paired with archer superhero Green Arrowprofessionally and romantically. Black Canary has been adapted into various media. Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino created the character in to be featured in Flash Comics as a supporting character. Appearing first as a clandestine crime-fighter who infiltrates criminal organizations to break them from the inside, Black Canary was drawn with fishnet stockings and a black leather jacket to connote images of a sexualized yet strong female character. I was drawing Johnny Thunder, which was not much of a character. I suppose he could have been better because his 'Thunderbolt' was interesting, but the situations they were in were pretty juvenile. Bob Kanigher wrote those stories, and he had no respect for the characters. These stories Black Canary nowhere near as good as 'The Flash' stories. Immediately she got a good response, and it was, 'Bye, bye, Johnny Thunder. That's what I want. So Black Canary what I did. I made her strong in character and sexy in form. The funny part is that years later, while in Korea on a National Cartoonists trip, I met a dancer who was the exact image of the Black Canary. And I went out with her for three years.

Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character to fit the fictional DC The title character from the cover of Lucifer Universe where their comics are #16, artist Christopher Moeller. set, where the character exists Publication information alongside superheroes and deities from multiple religions.
