    The Golden Age of Marvel/DC Cross-Overs

    The more recent JLA/Avengers though really has the same vibe as the earlier ones...It fits in well

        I really liked the Batman/Captain America team-up Byrne did.

        But you can't beat the Spidey/Superman ones or the Hulk/Batman for the art alone. Love that large-size Garcia Lopez art. Is that the only time he worked on Marvel characters?

          That may be correct. He was always a DC guy. I'll check. (He was also one of their main advertising artist.)

              Garcia Lopez's Joker art is phenomenal in that tabloid...

                That's some classic shizznit! I remember when that was in the news and Stan was interviewed on eyewitness news about the cross over. Garcia Lopez was a freeking amazing illustrator very few ever reached his level of draftsmanship.

                I have all those books and I'm always on the look out for those treasury editions from both DC and Marvel

                  As much as I like the Busiek/Perez JLA/Avengers I still wish we got a tabloid sized team up with Perez art back in the day...

                    some of the Amalgam were fun, but non beat the classics. I don't even think the recent Perez JLA/Avengers could have matched the thrill of what the original could have been.

                        Rob Liefeld apparently owns the original JLA/Avengers pages!

                            It's a shame Jim Shooter put a stop to the original JLA/Avengers. I've read multiple accounts from folks on both sides, and almost everyone agrees Shooter just refused to play ball. He let a simple miscommunication shut down the whole project as I recall.

                            The eventual Busiek/Perez version may be the last truly fun comic project published by the big two before both seemed to get mired in the super-mega-event-blood-and-gore-reboot era.

                              Those pages are just beautiful without colors (and modern colors to ruin it)
