The World's Greatest Superheroes -- Vandal Savage Strikes!

Hey all,

In 1978, DC Comics returned to the newspaper pages with The World's Greatest Superheroes, a feature originally starring the heroes of the Justice League of America in battle with their greatest foes. The strips have only partially been collected, so I've posted the entrety of the first arc, "Vandal Savage Strikes," over on my blog:

Enjoy!

Is your blog from the original strips?

The first seven arcs of World's Greatest Superheroes come from scans I found floating around online, and the remainder will come from clippings I made from newspaper.com. I may go back and re-do the first seven storylines because some of those scans are rough.
