Infinity Inc Special #1 pg. 36 (1987)

Battle Royale!

From 1987...Infinity, Inc. and The Outsiders join forces to defeat the Psycho-Pirate, who has taken over the country of Markovia by impersonating Baron Bedlam. A continuation from The Outsiders Special #1

The Outsiders Special and Infinity Inc Special was a two issue crossover where the two teams meet for the first time.

Infinity, Inc - Fury, Jade, Nuklon, Obsidian and Wildcat II
The Outsiders - Black Lightning, Geo-Force, Halo, Katana, Metamorpho and Windfall

The two teams in a battle to the death as the Pyscho-Pirate proclaims victory! (Spoiler Alert!) Not really. The two teams have already defeated Psych-Pirate and this is all in his mind.

As I've said before, Infinity Inc, is the first comic series that I read regularly (outside of GI Joe) and remains my favorite team book. Always happy to pick up reasonably (that's the key word) priced pages that feature them. Especially this early crossover as I hadn't yet expanded my reading circle. My first introduction to The Outsiders and the Force of July. Funny enough, because of this crossover I did search for and read the first appearance of the Outsiders and issue #1 of Batman & The Outsiders ongoing but I never read or collected the title.

Great splash featuring members of both teams.
