was back in the early-mid 1960s. Many headscratchers in that era from good ol' DC.

There were stacks of them in the barbershop I went to as a little kid. When I got older I never really got the comic bug, but would often remember how weird the DCs were.

He's Stan's right hand man, does legal and logistical stuff for him. Good guy all around even if he is a Republican.

As the guy on the right is me, I'm pretty sure it is NOT John Byrne, whoever that is!

I love the What If? ones like What If Superman Can't Fly? & the bizarro world type stuff too. Where can one find that kind of stuff online?
