1 before we even start CAPtain comet AND Martin gray? DEEP!
2 The DAREDEVIL Bad guy Gladiator had been around for ages by 77. so that MAY BE the why they changed GLadiator
3 But there may another reason. In the 70s EVERY FREAKING fanzine article said “ya know the novel gladIATOR Inspired SUPERMAN
4 My favrorite thing about the Secret Socitey was in #2 GRod lists all the alien invasions comet stopped. HAL JORDAN DID’NT KNOW?!
5. IN SSOV they make it clear the JLA REALLY DOES’NT WANT CC
Another one of those specials that I never had but always wanted, because I do recall seeing it in house ads – it just never showed up at any of my local spinner racks. Not only was I a big dinosaur kid (although, who wasn’t?) but I also loved Captain Comet based on the 2 or 3 issues of Secret Society of Supervillains that I owned. Back then I always wondered why he wasn’t a bigger deal, and yes, why he wasn’t a member of the Justice League. I thought he was so damn cool.
And based on your gallery post, a further regret at never having this issue is the art: I’m also a fan of Buckler’s, and Rubinstein’s inks make it all look so lovely.
Speaking of lovely art, it’s great that you got to meet JLGL (PBHN) and snap a photo with him. We really have to treasure these opportunities to meet these creators while they’re still around.
