Mar 1970 - Green Lantern

One of Green Lantern's lady friends (the one who's super brain is secretly keeping a race of aliens alive) mysteriously becomes ill so Green Lantern and her doctor travel to the Anti-Matter universe to find out why. It turns out the unpronounceable aliens, who are all evil, have an ancient obelisk filled with treasure that they can't open, and they need the girl's super brain to crack it. Her illness turns out to have been caused by the dimensional-teleportation device getting a lock on her.

The evil aliens teleport the girl (I just started reading GL, and can't for the life of me remember her name. Doris?) to their dimension, use her magic brain to crack open the obelisk to discover that the "treasure" is a note telling them that their centuries long quest to crack the obelisk open caused a large amounts of research and knowledge that enhanced their world for the better, and that should be treasure enough.

Evidently the ancient aliens who left the obelisk where dicks. The evil aliens are not amused.

Green Lantern, the girl, and her doctor head back to earth, where Green Lantern erases their memory, cause he's kinda a dick too. (insert Hal Jordon joke here)

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.
