BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer
After a disasterous start, DC seems to be managing their DC/Hanna Barbera crossovers with a little more sense. I am still a bit morally outraged at the cartoon characters of my younger years being turned into more live action versions, Scott Lobdell's entertaining story makes the Speed Buggy story work. And best of all, is that he manages to capture some humor as well. And, of course, all of the cameos strewn throughout the book are jaw-dropping. I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
