Showcase Presents: Super Friends, Vol. 1 by Kurt Schaffenberger, Ric Estrada, Romeo Tanghal, E. Nelson Bridwell, Sergius O'Shaughnessy, Ramona Fradon
3.0
This loses a star for the black and white presentation. While I typically can roll with the Showcase format, this is all wrong for Super Friends. The show was all about splashy color and without that it just feels like low watt silver age fluff.
I will say, I enjoyed the care the writers took in streamlining some of the goofiness of the show. I appreciated them establishing that the Hall of Justice was a training center as well as explaining the transition from Wendy and Marvin to the Wonder Twins.
The stories are great to revisit, but hold out for color!
