DescriptionGoing back to artists I love, I LOVE Dick Dillin, and the longest running artist on JLA. This is JLA #166 by Dick and Frank McLaughlin. The interesting part of this is that this story ended up being part of Identity Crisis and Infinite Crisis. A truly historic page. Has some of the Secret Society of Super Villains: Star Sapphire, the Wizard, Reverse Flash, Blockbuster, and Floronic Man."And I have more power than you dare conceive in your most lunatic dreams!"— "Superman" This piece has a bit of back story. Will Gabri-El has this piece for a bit, and kept trying to push me onto it knowing how much I would love it. But it was at a time when things were tight, and needed to ensure that I had my employees and freelancers taken care of first. (I have to place myself second after them). So, Will sold it relatively quickly and it went into the ether. Low and behold a few years went by, and Bechara got it in a deal. So when he posted it, I couldn't pick up the phone fast enough to get it. More Info: Synopsis for "The Long Way Home" While the other members attend Sindella's funeral, Red Tornado is ambushed in the JLA satellite by the Secret Society of Super-Villains, who materialize in the transporter following their escape from Earth-Two. In order to rescue their souls from limbo, they need to use an artifact from the Bronze Age -- a statue of a Griffin, to switch them with the JLA. When the Justice League heroes attack, the Secret Society members are able to switch bodies with them, using an ancient griffin statue with mystical attributes. The Wizard becomes Superman, Blockbuster becomes Batman, Reverse-Flash becomes Green Lantern, Star Sapphire becomes Zatanna, and Floronic Man becomes Wonder Woman, while the defeated heroes take on the appearances of the five villains. Notes In this issue, the Secret Society of Super-Villains are returning from Earth-Two. They were last seen there in Secret Society of Super-Villains #15. After that issue, the Society had additional adventures on Earth-Two that were slated for SSOSV # 16 and # 17, but these were not published due to the cancellation of that series. These stories eventually appeared in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade #2. Reprinted in JLA: The Greatest Stories Ever Told (minus the 4 pages that wrap up the story from the previous issue).
