"This pinup came from the Justice Society of America Annual vol. 3 #1 (August 2008).  It purported to  show an Earth-2 where the Crisis never happened,  so a lot of stuff we read never happened to this version of the characters.   There wasn't much…"

"Al Pratt became a professor of "atomic" physics at Calvin College,  so apparently,  he never left the place.  Besides his cool belt buckle device, he also built himself a transforming car, but since it only went from a regular bright red sports car…"
