Robot 6
The team-up you’ve been waiting for: Clayfish, Lil’ Atom and Young Darkseid
The Revenge of Young Darkseid
Brian Hughes at Again with the Comics points out that the Elseworlds 80-Page Giant pulping incident is 10 years old — my, how time flies. All but a few thousand copies were destroyed because of a “Superman’s Babysitter” story by Kyle Baker that had the infant of steel surviving all sorts of mishaps a normal baby wouldn’t. That story was later included in DC’s Bizarro Comics anthology. It went on to win an Eisner.
In honor of the anniversary of the pulped comic, he’s posted one of the book’s features — the “Hall of Silver Age Elseworlds,” which features one-page previews from Silver Age Elseworld comics that never were, by Mark Waid and Ty Templeton. It’s funny stuff; go check them out.
