Sunbeam JLA Sticker - 1978

sg
















Green Lantern! Superman! Hawkman! The Elongated Man! The Flash! Batman! Wonder Woman! Red Tornado!

This handsome shot of the Justice League of America adorns another Sunbeam brand sticker, part of an entire 1978 series(I posted an Aquaman solo one
here). The art style is familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Ok, you're probably thinking "Um, great, but why are you showing me this? Aquaman's not on it."

To which I say of course he's on it! It says so right on the back of the sticker:

...and the fine folks at Sunbeam wouldn't lie, would they?


(I would also be offended if I ran something called The Green Arrow Shrine.)

Poor Batman. There's no way he can keep up with the other guys in that picture. In about a second they'll all be miles away and he and Ralph will be bringing up the rear.

Aquaman is no doubt in an underground stream eight under their feet.

I know a guy who is Ralph's biggest fan. He has had a hard time with what DC has done to him. Although he's a little happier now.

The artwork looks like it was Giordano to begin with. It's distorted and poorly printed though. He seemed to have a lock on late 70s/early 80s pre-Garcia Lopez era licensing work.

That may be the earliest piece of merch with Red Tornado.

My hate for the Red Tornemo is well documented, so yeah, it sucks that he's there instead of Aquaman riding a wave or something.

i wonder if someone started a Red Tornado Shrine, how long would it before they ran out of stuff to post? a week?

Definitely a Giordano base there with a whole lot of tracing by someone with no talent for it.
