 Suicide Squad Banana Splits Annual #1 $7.00 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Antony Bedard, Mark Russell (A) Ben Caldwell, Dale Eaglesham (CA) Clyde Caldwell 'SUICIDE SPLITS'! Mistaken for metahumans, thrown in the bowels of Belle Reve, the animal rock band Banana Splits are recruited by Amanda Waller for a secret mission: to save the Suicide Squad! What follows is the weirdest team-up you never thought you'd see! How can Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky stand up to Harley, Deadshot, Katana and Croc?! And in the backup feature, Snagglepuss is a Southern gothic playwright working with an ensemble cast of cultural figures, exploring an intensely creative time in the New York City theater scene of the 1950s...

BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer
 Chapter 1 of the big "What the..." week! While I am told that the Flintstones is doing well and Future Quest and Wacky Raceland are doing well. That doesn't mean that all Hanna Barbera properties need to come back. And while I will give writer Tony Bedard credit for coming up with a somewhat plausible storyline, the fact is that these are not our Banana Splits. And trying to introduce a new updated version of them to today's youth without so formal backstory or DVD release is just asking for failure. I reread this twice to try to gather any sort of nostalgia from it and failed. And while the Snagglepuss back up feature is very philosophical, it again gets lost in the translation. So I'm going to put the book down now, Exit, stage right, and turn on YouTube to watch some real Banana Splits shorts and tear up over my lost youth. I give it 4 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
