Super Redondas! - 1981

sg
These are two sheets of little pog-like doodads featuring various members of the DCU, many in their famous stock art poses, including Aquaman by Murphy Anderson, Superman by Neal Adams, and The Joker by Carmine Infantino.

The inclusion of Mera, The Wonder Twins, and Bat-Mite (twice!) over, say, Hawkman, The Atom, or Supergirl are more surprising, as is the one missing pog--"Arana Negra" roughly translates to Black Spider, so I'm not sure what DC character that is supposed to be. Anyone have an idea?

I was sent these shots by F.O.A.M. member Ramiro. Thanks pal!

Hey, dig on blonde Mera! Not bad, but I prefer her as a rockin' reddie. By the way, didn't Batman have like a fourth-string villain named the Black Spider? Surely it's not him (or maybe it is, and I won't call you Shirley).

I'm thinking the Arana Negra might be this one -- which may or may not account for the absence of an image in this ad. Also, I don't think that's Bat-Mite as such...

Bat-Mite was a member of the New Adventures of Batman cartoon from the late 70s, rememember? So I'm guessing that is him.

I can understand "Super Amigos," but what is "Super Redondas"?

Definitely an interesting find!

On a side note, I have an Aquaman-centric blog todaych, as well. Swim on over, if you have a sec.

RAB-

Wow, those Arana Negra covers are...something!

And yeah, Russell is right, that's the Bat-Mite from the late 70s Filmation show.
