Thanks, Brian!

Holy cow! I just looked that issue up on GCD. It's got art by Kubert, Perez, Austin, Broderick, Aparo, Giordano, Kane, Infantino, and Bolland!

 I shall begin my quest!

Yeah. Its a great issue. Without giving too much of the plot away, it ties into the JLA's origin and you have the original JLAers fighting other JLAers, and a different artist handles each fight. Unfortunately, I need to get a new copy of that issue, myself.

(I wish they would have made a poster out of the wraparound cover, but I don't think they did)

Brian, I'm looking at ebay right now, and there are many copies of that issue up for sale at the moment. So if you want one, its available.

The gimmick used for JLA 200 was that in the battles between the old and new JLA members, they attempted to bring in the artists that were greatly associated with those heroes.  So you had Gil Kane doing his Atom and Green Lantern, Infantino doing Flash and Elongated Man, Aparo doing Phantom Stranger and Aquaman... etc.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that Neal Adams was available to do the Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary chapter.  Fortunately, Bolland got the job.

As beautiful as Kubert's work was on the Superman and Hawkman chapter, Murphy Anderson would've been the more logical choice.  Again, he wasn't working for DC at that time.

That third post from Mr. Turnbull has got to be one of the top "Meanwhile" panels of all time.

I'll let ya come work for me at Subway, JB. Just kidding. Those Kubert pieces are amazing. I also really enjoyed the Davis Miracleman fight sequence above. Even at his early stages of his career, Davis was pretty damn good.
