So Justice #2 was another issue I never saw for sale. The next issue I bought after the first was issue five, but at the moment I can’t recall if 3 and 4 were also not for sale local to me, or if I passed them by. Come to think of it, I believe the next time I saw an issue for sale was when it moved to the fancy paper.
I have a lot I want to say on the other realm segment, but I don’t want to spoil things for those reading this with no prior knowledge. Then again, I’d also be throwing a No-Prize worthy answer on what’s just creepy writing, so maybe that’s for the best.
Amusingly, thinking about later issues of Justice both reminded me of something that really creeped me out, and still does, in those issues, as well as making me finally realize a potential meta contradiction between later issues of Justice and The Star Brand, as it was called on Byrne’s watch. This marks the second time in three days that I’ve finally noticed a continuity error in something I enjoyed in the 80s.
Back in the day I never thought about the skin tone of the Hounds. I never realized Englehart took over the writing. I know in the 90s he did some work where he used African mysticism and shoehorned in pirates in IIRC, the Bermuda Triangle and some mysticism from there. Perhaps the soulless hounds were inspired by legends of zuvembie working sugar plantations in Haiti?
