I don’t subscribe to Interlac, but I’ve seen an issue or two. It’s fun, but maybe not worth the money. Tastes vary. Like many “fanzines,” their output is irregular, but this piece is just way too cute!
I’ve long loved both the Legion of Super-Heroes AND Charles Schulz’ masterful Peanuts, and for most of my exposure to them, I identified strongly with both Brainiac 5 and Linus van Pelt, as well as constantly shipping the romance of Brainy and Supergirl. How could I not love this ‘toon? And yet, I still don’t know any more about “JATS” than, what? His (or her) four initials? Maybe obviously, but even that’s not for certain. Also, I suspect that he has the soul of a Sweet Babooch.
Anyway…
I have been looking at this image intermittently over the past decade or so I guess, and I never noticed before that Brainy is wearing Kara‘s cape.
Like I didn’t already love it enough!
