Wow...Chris Roberson actually referenced this in a recent Superman story...best thing you'll see on the internet today.

Chris Sims' articles for Comics Alliance are always worth the cost of admission.

#7 seems to reference an Atom back-up from Action Comics where he poses as his own action figure to fool some spies. A kid plays with him roughly and the Tiny Titan can't shrink away fast enough!

#6 with its Laughing Batman clearly comes from Batman #170 where the Joker infects Bats with his happy-juice!

#3 features (of all things) one-shot Flash villain, the Viper, who was an ancestor of Iris Allen's father from the future. Strange!

I've seen a lot of these entries, although I've never read the whole thing.  It seems to be quite an interesting tome.

I found a copy at a yard sale a few years ago. It's quite an adorable effort. They even created a few characters just for the book.

• SR-12
• Ted & Teri Trapper
• Conjura
• Jonna Crisp
• El Dragon

I'd be tickled pink if they popped up in the DCU sometime -- even on an alternate world or as one-off characters.
