If I had a time machine and William Dozier's home address, I absolutely would've bugged him forever to cast Don Adams as The Getaway Genius and Reginald Gardiner as The Cavalier in Batman '66.

Don Adams dressed in hat, suit, and tie as a gangster from Get Smart.

Coming book panel of The Getaway Genius, in a suit, tie, hat and goggles, pointing and saying "Whoever tries to doom Batman - dooms himself! Rob and getaway is our rule! Follow it to the letter!"

We bought white gift bags for party favors at the Dollar Tree and I broke out my rudimentary doodling skills to draw JLI team members on them. Forgot to take pics after I added color though.

If your eyes roll back into your head at people crying "communism!" at everything that's...well, not...(as if that were to ever happen...again), I really recommend David Hajdu's "The Ten-Cent Plague" about the great comic book scare of the McCarthy era.

Book featuring a boy in bed reading comic book magazines like "Weird" and "Crime" and "Horror." The boy and everything in his bedroom are black and white while the comics are in color.

Before we get to the second comic feature of Superman & Batman Magazine 4, here’s some great pieces sandwiched between the stories. Some character profiles of Green Arrow, Lady Shiva, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Captain Marvel, Doctor Sivana and Black Adam, all beautifully drawn by Mike Parobeck.

Got these out of order on the thread, but here’s the lead comic story from Superman & Batman Magazine Issue 4. A Robin spotlight from Kelley Puckett and Mike Parobeck, the regular team on Batman Adventures at the time.

Painted cover of Superman and Batman Magazine featuring Robin leaping into the foreground on rooftops.

Two pages of a Robin story as he and Batman leap into action.

And the second story from Issue 5 of Superman & Batman Magazine is a Hawkman adventure - "A Declaration of Independence" by @paulkupperberg.bsky.social and Rick Burchett.

Two comic pages of Hawkman writing in a journal about the signing of the Declaration of Independence as a street gang intercepts a young kid on the sidewalk. The gang wants to know why the kid hasn't answered them about joining their gang.

The street gang give the kid a tough time and take him with them on a break-in. Hawkman, above, is about to intervene.

Hawkman foils their break-in attempt (which they were using the small kid for) and hands the street gang off to the police, while telling the kid he made the right choice by setting off the alarm.

Superman & Batman Magazine Issue 4 from 1994, boasting the feature story "All Mx'd Upl" by Louise Simonson and Mike Parobeck. Pre-Superman: The Animated Series, characters, while in animated style, are in line with their comic counterparts of the time.

Cover of Superman & Batman Magazine with Superman battling Mr Mxyzptlk at a carnival.

Lois and a ponytailed-Clark are at the carnival when rides start to come alive, throwing people around. A Mxy balloon flies through the air watching.

More carnival rides come to life to battle Superman as Mxy watches.

Superman enters the hall of mirrors, creating a slew of slightly off-kilter Supermen to help trouble carnival-goers while the real Supes sends Mxy back to the 5th Dimension.
