I remember reading the latter in my late teens and being skeeved out that Byrne went there with the most iconic superhero.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I had those World's Finest super sons issues. Man, they had groovy sideburns.

So - does anyone remember when Robin (Dick Grayson edition) and Batgirl fought the ghost of Benedict Arnold (who was under the command of THE DEVIL)?
Can you guess what year that one came out? Oh, and Dick was in college in DC (or visiting DC) and Babs was either working for someone in Congress or WAS in Congress.

In this context, I'm suddenly unsure if you intend 'had x issues' to mean that you owned those comics, or that they scarred you for life. Or both, which having looked at those links seems highly likely.

Heh, no (or at least they didn't mention who was).
I've got an issue of that somewhere too (or did). It was a riff on the Fischer/Spasky tournament (although decidedly more colorful).

Owned them. I loved them at the time. They were "relevant" and I was 12. It was a whole big 70s relevant thing. (cf., Green Lantern and Green Arrow)

Chynna Clugston (nee, Clugston-Major), she of the very mod/anime styled comic Blue Monday is going to be doing a Legion of Superheroes comic.
She's already done an issue of Teen Titans Go!
I love her stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a surprising amount of comics/TV crossover in LA.
