"Let's see...it's January 1962 and i've got 12 cents to my name...i can either read about the JLA being turned into...uh...TREES...or i can go buy Fantastic Four #2 and read the first appearance of the Skrulls. Skrulls, Trees. Skrulls, Trees. Hmmm..." Hard to see trees winning that one.<br /><br />Then again, the Skrulls got turned into cows by the end of FF#2, which is almost, but not quite, as dopey. And FF was still only 10 cents then! Spend the two cents you save on Tootsie Roll Fudge, as your DC Comics command!Earth-2 Rev.

Morrison did the Secret Origin of the Secret Sanctuary a few issues later.<BR/><BR/>My son dug this one as well. It's a great origin tale. There's a reason JLA #200 is a direct sequel to this.<BR/><BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547677475518970227.post-52338447983462600882007-11-12T05:54:00.000-05:002007-11-12T05:54:00.000-05:00I too enjoyed the Morrison version.

Funniest part tho, why is J'onn's cape so short on the cover? Looks like he's part of the Marvel family there.
