scans_dailyFor Halloween week, a Halloween tale, from #20 of SUPER FRIENDS, which continues to be leagues more awesome than the majority of DC's adult fare.
So it's that time of year again and a small child dressed as Batman is narrating a scary story to his buddies - a story, naturally, about the Super Friends, and what happened one Halloween when they got called out to a parade.
Way to not notice the giant shaggy monster which is rampaging right in front of you, guys.
Diana tries to lasso him and he chucks her over the horizon, Clark tries a wrestle hold and gets a sore arm for his trouble, even Bruce's knockout gas can't drop the beast. So while John is off making sure Diana's okay, the other Super Friends decide knowledge is power and get the lowdown on the Shagster from ProfessorFrankenstein Zagarian there. (Armenian mad scientist, guys. I'm so proud. :D) It's the same as mainline canon, but for those who don't know:
Can Sholly Fisch write mainstream Wonder Woman now please?
So beauty tames the savage beast. But Bruce makes the quite sensible observation that they still need to get him out of town somehow without making him flip out again, and there's lots of civilians between here and there to muck things up.
No fear, though, Arthur has a plan!
Narrating Batman Kid there didn't impress his friends much with this story, they think he's making it up. But then his uncle pops his head in and turns out to be none other than the mad doctor Zagarian himself!
Upon further questioning by the kids, he reveals the true ultimate fate of the Shaggy Man.
So, he's Bigfoot now. Dumping him in Hal Jordan's back yard. I like it.
