Mr. Miracle's funeral, Justice League America #40

[perletwo.insanejournal.com]

I had a request in an earlier JLI post I did for a page of Superman and Batman talking after Mr. Miracle's funeral. Naturally, I can't just do the one page, because the whole funeral is so awesome. Six pages of a 22-page comic, plus preview (plus a few non-comic images), not my scans.

So yeah, starts out with big fight with Despero, which J'onn ends...

Never let it be said that the JLI doesn't know how to behave itself at a funeral...





The requested post-funeral page, and its aftermath...





The issue ends with Orion visiting Scott's grave, and musing that he'll have to look up this Justice League. :-)

BTW, this seems as good a post as any to throw this out there. It didn't strike me back in the 80s because I hadn't seen the movie, but now that I've got both the first JLI trade and the Omen series box set, I'm wondering if deMatteis modeled his Max Lord on Sam Neill as the adult Damien Thorn? Check it out:

What say you, s_d? Do we have a match?

He has what looks like brown hair initially though. I think it's the person that is standing on Barda's right when they are all around the coffin. And Booster is standing opposite her. I'm not really familiar with the League at this time so I don't know who it could be.
