American Update: Thank You For Being A Super-Friend! – Comics Debuts of Wendy, Marvin and the Wonder Twins
*DC: Launched to cash in on a TV cartoon, Super-Friends was an all-ages version of the Justice League that not only outstripped its leaden and anodyne cartoon inspiration, but, once writer E.Nelson Bridwell and primary artist Ramona Fradon hit their stride, was the best Justice League being published at the time! Granted, since the main JLA was in the hands of Conway and Dillin, that’s not a high bar, but nevertheless, ENB made the book a fun and imaginative read. New in we have #1, with the comic-book debuts of Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog, the crimefighters in training who were rapidly elbowed out of the series by #7, also new in this week, when the extraterrestrial siblings Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins, moved in! Our copy of #1 is VF £28; our #7, in the wake of a critically acclaimed recent Wonder Twins series, is VF/NM £50.
