Bookended by Cats was named after Milo and Otis. They are the short, orange, and furry brothers who, upon entering our lives in 2003, often bookended us on our couch. And who are we? We're a geek couple living in PA. We love music, movies, TV, comics, books, and comic cons. And, from time to time, we'll share our thoughts on these nerdy things.

Super Friends

 

I grew up reading the SUPER FRIENDS treasury-sized comic (Limited Collectors' Edition C-41, pictured above). Although I re-read it several times in my youth, I didn't realize until much later that the book reprinted stories, and even activity pages, that had originally appeared in older issues. Those older stories were: 

The rest of the issue had fill-in pieces that starred the Super Friends and served to provide a seamless narration across the book, making the older stories basically flashbacks told to the young Wendy and Marvin.

Toth also provided an 11-page article about the animation business.

As of the end of 2024, I have acquired the original issues of Justice League of America for both of those stories. 

Justice League of America Vol. 1 #61

Justice League of America Vol. 1 #36

I wonder ... Should I also collect the issues that originally featured stories that appeared in DC's two editions of Christmas With the Super-Heroes (those being Limited Collectors' Edition #34 and #43)?
