There was a one-page splash I really hated to cut, showing all the then-current members of the JLA not represented here. The Martian Anteater was there, as was Rat Tornado, Elong-Gator, Hawkmoose, Zap-Panda, The Item (a shrinking elephant), Stacked Canary (just a canary), Green Sparrow, and Firestork. They went off to space to find Kangar-Roo so that we could get it down to the six.

Some of the parallels don't hold up too well: Rodney claims he's drawn the JLA feature from the start, but if the feature started in 1959 and it's 1983 now...getting a little long in the tooth to keep running a superhero team, there, Rod? But even if he has drawn it that long (or if it's had a shorter run), he's gonna have to hand those reins off to someone else sooner or later, and yeah, that does raise questions about whether Earth-C-Minus will change its look then. (Plus, are there other artists working on independent books for these characters, and how does that affect things?) I love to explore these kinds of implications, but you do have to know when to walk away.
