Happy holidays! How about some "Super Friends" fun?

Will Rodgers, the author of "The Ultimate Super Friends Companion" (in Volume 1 and Volume 2!) has loved the "Super Friends" series since he was a kid, and he also is very fond of creating his own "SF" art, which he shares on social media. Here we take a look at some of the "SF" frivolity he's created lately ...



"I don't believe it! Defeated by a teenage tin man!". Lex Luthor. Seeds of Doom 1985.

"It's a shame," Will says, "that Lex Luthor had only a cameo appearance on the 'Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians.' The top drawing came from the premiere episode. The bottom drawing I made wanting to see what Luthor would have looked like with the power suit on. ... Yes, I know Firestorm changed it into a prison uniform in 'No Honor Among Thieves,' but that was SuperFriends, which was never big on continuity. So am I alone, or did anybody else wish that Luthor could have worn his power suit? After all, the power suit version of Lex is what Kenner had made and was marketing at that time. Also, does anybody else wish that the 'Super Powers Team ' could have had more episodes and a longer season?"



"My customized title card for the SuperFriends lost season 1982-1983 complete with Batman's cowl error," Will says.



"My attempt at drawing the Luis Jose Garcia Lopez designs of the DC Super Heroes in the style of the late Alex Toth. I call it The Super Powers of the Super Friends."

Enjoy more Super Friends fun with fellow fans in the SUPERFRIENDS and The Ultimate Super Friends Companion groups in Facebook.
