Greg and Dan continue talking through DC Super-Stars 17 from 1977. In part two we discuss the underwhelming Legion of Super-Heroes story about the energetic Quintile crystal. Then we get into the first appearance of The Huntress. We also dig into what was happening with the Justice Society in All-Star Comics at the time! We get into the future of the Huntress after 1977. Get Paul Levitz’s thoughts on the Huntress and lots of comics history in his recent Spoiler Country Interview. Finally, we circle back to the DC implosion and discuss how the current market situation might have the same devastating impact on DC Comics in 2020.
