there\u2019s a lot more superheroes than the ones shown in this symbolic splash page involved in this three-part story overall, most of them split into smaller units in the previous issue, so we have a tidier group of eight featured in this one: Earth-One\u2019s Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Earth-Two\u2019s Batman and Robin, and Earth-S\u2019s Bulletman, Bulletgirl, Mr. Scarlet and Pinky.\u00a0 Why double the number for Earth-S?\u00a0 Well, this installment of the trilogy <em>is<\/em> entitled \u201cCrisis on Earth-S!\u201d \u2014 and that, along with the fact that this crossover more or less serves as that world\u2019s DC Multiverse debut, is probably justification enough for giving these lesser known costumed crimebusters a larger share of the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway \u2014 we have eight heroes.\u00a0 Which makes it something of a head-scratcher that the credits box at the top of the next page, in addition to acknowledging the efforts of writers E. Nelson Bridwell and Marin Pasko, illustrators Dick Dillin and Frank McLaughlin, and editor Julius Schwartz, makes a jokey reference to \u201c<strong>12<\/strong> heroes!\u201d\u00a0 But, rest assured,

suddenly transformed into presumably nonliving volcanic rock, as has just happened to Hawkman.\u00a0 But we\u2019ll just have to chalk it up to comic-book science, or magic (at this point, it seems it

quite as familiar to the comics-reading audience of 1976 as the Joker, both the Shade and Doctor Light were at least better known than the Weeper \u2014 especially if you\u2019d been following DC\u2019s output since the Silver Age.\u00a0 The Shade had been introduced as a foe for the original Flash, Jay Garrick\u00a0<i>Flash Comics<\/i> #33 (Sep., 1942); that debut ultimately proved to be his one and only Golden Age outing, as he had to wait almost two decades for his return in <i>Flash<\/i> #123 (Sept. 1961).\u00a0 There, he\u2019d fought Jay Garrick <em>and<\/em> Barry Allen in \u201cFlash of Two Worlds\u201d the classic story that got the whole parallel-Earths thing rolling at DC; his latest appearance prior to this one had come just one year before, in <a href=\"https:\/\/50yearoldcomics.com\/2025\/08\/02\/justice-league-of-america-124-november-1975\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1975\u2019s JLA\/JSA crossover<\/a>.\u00a0 As for Doctor Light, he\u2019d begun his perfidious career by taking on the whole Justice League in <em>JLA<\/em> #12 (Jun., 1962), and had appeared multiple times since then; sometimes battling the entire League, other times going up against individual members.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/50yearoldcomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/jla136-switch.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

Nelson Bridwell was going for in this middle chapter of this storyline in trying to do something novel with the familiar tropes of the JLA\/JSA crossover events.\u00a0 <em>Hey<\/em>, he may have thought, <em>instead of having the JLA and JLA and their allies split up into purely random smaller teams, why not have these smaller units made up of heroes with the same basic shtick?\u00a0 And why not have the villains they fight parallel that in reverse, by pairing bad guys with <\/em>opposite<em> shticks?<\/em>\u00a0 These aren\u2019t bad ideas, necessarily, but since there\u2019s no good in-story justification for them, the contrivance of it all is quite glaring.\u00a0 The same goes for the extra wrinkle added here, with the Hawks and Bullets switching partners so as to \u201c<strong>confuse<\/strong>\u201d their enemies.\u00a0 Yeah, tell me another one, guys \u2014 although I will give our storytellers points for allowing the two superheroines to team up with no hand-wringing about whether a couple of females could be expected to handle things without a guy hero around.<\/p>\n<p>Another downside of the \u201cfour heroes with the same shtick\u201d notion is that the action within each individual segment of the story ends up being rather samey; after all, one of the big draws of seeing superheroes team up is seeing how their different powers and abilities play off each other.\u00a0 Besides which, if you\u2019re not careful, one set of similarly-operating crusaders may outshine the other to the extent that a reader might well wonder why anyone would ever want to read about, say, Mr. Scarlet and Pinky, when Batman and Robin are also around.\u00a0 Just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><a

now, we finally have our twelfth and last hero: Johnny Thunder.\u00a0 Gee, I wonder what use a guy who can summon a genie in the form of a magical thunderbolt can possibly be to three heroes who transform into theie super-selves when struck by a magi \u2014 oh, wait, I think I got it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you were a comics reader in August, 1976 who was simply looking for a JLA\/JSA crossover installment featuring lots of heroes, villains, and action, you might well have been satisfied with <em>Justice League of America<\/em> #136 \u2014 that is, as long as you didn\u2019t stop to think about why our main bad guy King Kull, who was obviously perfectly able to operate his matter transformation satellite technology without any help, bothered to enlist four subordinate bad guys in the first place \u2014 let alone give them the ability to <em>move<\/em> said satellites, so that they could be made to collide and blow up his plans.<\/p>\n<p>And if I\u2019d first read this story as a nine-year-old, rather than a nineteen-year-old \u2014 or, gods forbid, a sixty-nine-year-old \u2014 those questions might not have occurred to me, either.\u00a0 But, here we are.<\/p>\n<p>Still, we\u2019ve got one more chapter to go \u2014 and surely the Fawcett heroes everyone actually wants to see, i.e., the Marvel Family, are going to <em>finally<\/em> get to go into action early in the next issue.\u00a0 Won\u2019t they?\u00a0 I guess we\u2019ll find out, come the first week of September.\u00a0 I hope to see you
