Crisis in the Standard Comics Universe



-Ripped off- Inspired by Crisis on Marvel Earths and The Juggernaut's Tour of the Multiverse, the Anti-Monitor continues his 1985 Multiversal rampage, this time invading the Standard Comics Universe (SCU)! What a bastard.

So, naturally, superheroes (hmmm - I'd imagine that Standard Comics would co-own the trademark on the term "superheroes" with DC and Marvel) of the SCU show up to battle him. At this moment, it's these 6 heroes dealing with him. I'd imagine that once Fantomah or Stardust show up, they're guaranteed to drive him off.

Roll Call: 
The Anti-Monitor vs
Optima, UltraMan, Dr. Quantum, Nelvana, Star-Storm, and Magno.

By the "present day" of 1985-ish, the SCU seems to be more of my stuff (Optima, UltraMan, Dr. Quantum, and Star-Storm) than old Public Domain characters (Nelvana, Magno), but that's the way rampant narcissism works. 

How, exactly, the SCU's (or Marvel's for that matter) Multiverse continue to exist after COIE is unclear, they must be so different or separated by some barrier that DC's Multiverse is different from theirs. Or maybe it's just fiction and we shouldn't worry about ... no, no - I'm going with different. The SCU Multiverse is different, yeah, that's the ticket.

The great Val Semeiks brings the idea to life, going so far as to develop some special effects for the character's individual powers. Funny enough co-inky-dink, the four fundamental forces of the universe are represented by the super-heroes powers: electromagnetism, gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces. Neato.

I recently bought a page from Superman (Vol 2) #8 by John Byrne and Karl Kesel with a large hand colored panel:

Since I've never seen hand colored panels before I was wondering if somebody here knows more about this page and the coloring. 

Many thanks!

Rob, I have always loved Keith Pollards pencils. Nice and clean and when Joe Sinnott would ink over his stuff (i.e. FF), it always stood out to me.

Brian, that Rags piece is fantastic! It's got me thinking of getting one myself if Mr. Morales is still doing them.

Just received this commission from Pat Broderick. I really enjoyed his Captain Atom and Firestorm runs and think he did a bang up job on Captain America here. Look at that rubble. I think I see some Michael Golden in his art.
