Superman, The Man Of Tomorrow And Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark
Art by John Heebink And Steve Leialoha
From Heritage Auctions...
We're not sure where this wonderful piece was published but it sure is a lot of fun. This may be the one and only appearance of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark with Superman, the Man of Tomorrow. Elvira certainly seems to be enjoying the moment.
"The Perils of Elvira" in Elvira Mistress of the Dark #32, December 1995, written by Frank Strom, art by John Heebink (pencils) and Ricardo Villagran (inks)
A masterpiece
QUASAR #17, 58 DECEMBER 1990, MAY 1994 BY MARK GRUENWALD, PETER SANDERSON, MIKE MANLEY, JOHN HEEBINK, AARON MCCLELLAN AND PAUL BECTON
SYNOPSIS (FROM COMIC VINE)
On your marks, get set, GO! The Runner challenges all the speedsters of earth to race. Who will win? Who will lose? Will an unexpected victor take gold?
A race to the moon to see who is the fastest man alive!
After reaching the top speed among the Universe beings all, Makkari reaches the Runner to participate a Galactic Race for the most fast being in the universe.
Quasar, meanwhile, tries to reach his girlfriend Kayla Ballantine, trapped on the Earth from the New Universe, by trying to breach the force field that encloses the planet in quarantine, and talking to the Living Tribunal that has sealed such planet.
REVIEW
As far as Barry Allen homages that were out there in the nineties, this is perhaps one of the most respectful. “Buried Alien” shows up in the Marvel Universe just after dying in the DCU, with no memories of where he came from, but he knows he is the fastest man alive. And not only he is the fastest, in the second race (now as FastForward), he could have won, but decided to help Makkari not lose the race. So he is not only the fastest man alive, he is also a very good person.
The second story is a bit better because of the parallels between Makkari and Quasar, both giving up on their dreams in order to not “sell their souls” for quick fix.
Also “The runner” becoming “the runner-up” is genius.
I give these stories a score of 8
Makkari just casually hanging out with his pal the Road Runner.
