Superheroes Don’t Do Funerals Well

AdventureComicsJSAJust think about the design of this cover for a second: Yes, the floating heads are from different strips in this anthology series, but still: Didn’t someone realize that putting their smiling faces above the corpse of Earth-2 Batman make it look like they were very happy he was dead? At least the Justice Society members have the manners to pretend to be in mourning.

    Flash looks like he’s telling off his wife under his breath, probably for embarrassing him by bursting into tears in the middle of a dinner party.

    Huntress just looks mortified. Superman must have been weeping and singing, like he did at Larry Lance’s wilderness funeral.

    And is Alfred standing on the pew?
