Feb 1970 - Iron Man 22

Well, the brain damaged boxer that Tony hired to be Iron Man didn't die, and Tony decides that despite the fact that he has a synthetic heart that could fail at any moment, he will be Iron Man himself. He then, of course, gets into a big fight with two different villains involved and Tony's current GF seemingly dies via electric shock from one of the villains. I can't remember which one, but he was wearing fancy armor.
Anyways...now Tony has a broken, synthetic heart.

Feb 1970 - JLA

Green Arrow, while fighting villains in heavy smog, fires a flare arrow so he can see the villains, and sets a river ON FIRE. I fell I must mention that again. The Green Arrow set a river on fire while trying to see in heavy smog.
This comic seems to have an environmental message...
Anyways...The JLA gets a brand new clubhouse satellite, but seem to be unimpressed by it. No one seems to take any time to memorize the complex floorplan/diagram.
For some reason Superman and Green Lantern go off into space and find a planet that has been polluted to death, and now suspect aliens are making humans do the same to Earth.
  • Historical Note: In June of 1969, a river in Cleveland, Ohio caught fire.
