DC Comic Strip

[Red Oak Kid]

I was reading a very old issue of Superman and ran across a "DC Publishorial" that was talking about a newspaper comic strip called "The World's Greatest Superheroes".

Was this strip ever published in newspapers?

Anybody here see it?

ITs a continuation of the Batman strip that started up (or the other way around) with stories usually about 13 weeks in length. i remember Superman, Batman (with art by Marshall Rogers!)

Look around, im sure youll find more elsewhere on the interweb...

The strip ran for several weeks in the Washington Com-Post back in the mid-to-late 70's. It preceeded the Marshall Rogers Batman strip (which I never saw in papers, only in reprint book form), which came out in the late '80's if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, the "World's Greatest Super-Heroes" strip was drawn by George Tuska. I don't know who wrote it. The first arc dealt with the JLA fighting Vandal Savage. All I remember from it was a couple of visuals. One: somehow, Savage got Wonder Woman bound to some antenna (so, being bound, she was therefore powerless) on a skyscraper, and
Two: the Flash was trapped inside an iceberg and using super speed to break out. There was a nice Sunday color panel of the Flash doing this, which I then used to make a large-scale hand copy of it utilizing the grid method.

That's all I remember from the strip.

IIRC, it started up around the same time as the first Superman movie. Here's the Wikipedia entry:
