Next up for the month is actually an organization this time:
Intergang. The Metropolis-based gang was first introduced in Superman’s Pal:
Jimmy Olsen #133 (1970). Yes, Jimmy Olsen had his own book and it lasted that long.
This was during Jack Kirby’s run with the series and it heavily tied into his
Fourth World work. The group was led by Bruno Manheim and they used advanced
technology to do their thing. They’d usually get their tech from Apokalips
itself. They were a major threat during the post-Crisis run but they did
disappear for a time.
Instead of being stuck in the late 80’s/early 90’s, it’s
time to go ahead a few years. Today’s issue is The Adventures of Superman #544.
It’s right after the wedding and right before Superman gets electric. More on
“Superman 2: Electric Boogaloo” later. The issue is written by Karl Kesel. The
pencils were handled by Stuart Immonen and the inks were done by Jose Marzan
Jr. So, let’s see what happens when you combine a plot from a TV show with the
comics.
