Title: Earth 3 Post by: pocketmego on May 15, 2004, 01:03:09 AM Hiya,
I have the reprint of the first appearence of Ultraman and the Crime Syndicate. I also have the DC Comics presents featuring Superman and Earth 2 Superman. Were there any other Earth 3 stories? I mean in between, because the DCCP story happened many years after the first earth 3 story and established Luthor as that Earth's only hero. Thanks -Ray Title: Re: Earth 3 Post by: Continental Op on May 15, 2004, 10:22:12 AM If you are only looking for the "Earth-3" stories that happened in between those two, there weren't many.
The CSA finally returned in SECRET SOCIETY OF SUPER-VILLAINS #14-15 around 1978. Only Superwoman, Evil Johnny Quick and Power Ring appeared in that story, with no explanation of what happened to Ultraman or Owlman... but #15 did reveal that there was a Lois Lane on Earth-3. Around the same time of DCCP ANNUAL #1 there was also a one-panel appearance of Earth-3 with a couple of the Crime Syndicate in WONDER WOMAN #292, when someone was describing the multiple Earths.... and there was a massive crossover in JLA #207-209 and ALL-STAR SQUADRON #14-15, where the full CSA returned and fought the Justice League, Justice Society and All-Star Squadron in a big time-travel adventure. I'm not sure of the chronology there but they were all roughly the same year. 1982 was a good year for the Syndicate. By the way, Earth-3 ALMOST first appeared at the end of the JLA/JSA crossover in JLA #21-22, when the villains tried to escape there... but the readers didn't get to actually see it yet.

Justice League of America #29 (August 1964): "Crisis on Earth-Three" Justice League of America #30 (September 1964): "The Most Dangerous Earth of All" DC Comics Presents Annual #1 (1982): "Crisis on Three Earths" All-Star Squadron #14 (October 1982): "Crisis on Earth Prime, Book Two: The 'Mystery Men' of October" Justice League of America #207 (October 1982): "Crisis on Earth Prime, Book One: Crisis Times Three" All-Star Squadron #15 (November 1982): "Crisis on Earth Prime, Book Four: Master of Worlds and Time" Justice League of America #209 (December 1982): "Crisis on Earth Prime, Book Five: Let Old Acquaintances Be Forgot..." Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 (April 1985): "The Summoning!" Title: Re: Earth 3 Post by: pocketmego on May 15, 2004, 03:01:45 PM So the character appeared first in 1964 and then not again until 1982. He then sticks around in various stories for the rest of the 80's until the Crisis.
