I'm actually surprised Conan interacted with Thor. Because of him being a licensed character, the potential future problems of collecting the material. Then again, TPB's weren't what they are today back then. That happened all the time with Bronze Age Marvel. It's why the Marvel Two-in-One collections are missing #21 (Doc Savage) and #99 (ROM). However Conan was a special case and the licensors were notoriously picky. Which is why Conan never had a Marvel Universe Guest Star in his own title and never showed up in Team-Up or Two-in-One. |

...and yet Kull could be possessed by Spider-Man in an issue of Team-Up. Makes lotsa sense.
Cei-U!
Go figure, by Crom!

Have Animal Man and Aquaman ever interacted on panel with each other? I don't know I want to say War of the Gods min. |

I'm still not convinced Superman #76 was the first time Batman and Superman met in comics. There just had to be a meeting somewhere in those thirteen years they'd been DC's top properties prior to that, and I don't mean the radio serial. You're quite right. The duo met twice prior to Superman #76, in All-Star Comics #7 and again in #36. Cei-U! I summon the precedents! I just knew it! So why does Supes #76 get the credit? I know it started the World's Finest team-ups, but it's often touted as being their first meeting. |

Maybe the story touted it as their first in continuity meeting?

I'm sure it must have happened, but White Tiger and Black Panther?

I think it's their first team-up, as opposed to just both being in a crowd together at a JSA meeting. I believe they also learn each other's secret identities in Superman #76? I might be wrong about these things.

I thought this comic was their first meeting.  Or maybe this was their 75th first meeting. |

I might be wrong about these things. You're correct, at least as far as Superman #76. I've never read the earlier meetings Cei-U! has cited. |

So why does Supes #76 get the credit? I know it started the World's Finest team-ups, but it's often touted as being their first meeting. It would be another two years before the pair met again in World's Finest #71, which recaps Superman #76 and begins the team-up format that would continue for the remainder of the series.
There is some minor debate about whether we're talking about the Earth-1 or Earth-2 versions of the heroes in these appearances, but as Kurt has pointed out in his JSA guide, there really is no way to be certain.

Several later Earth-One stories cite Superman #76 as the characters' first meeting, although this would eventually be qualified to as their first meeting as adults and in their costumed identities. In 1981, Roy Thomas would script World's Finest #271, which incorporates all of Superman and Batman's "first" encounters into a single, (comparatively) cohesive narrative. Just to make things completely confusing, in the "Mr. & Mrs. Superman" story in Superman Family #201, E. Nelson Bridwell would incorporate Superman #76 into the continuities of the Earth-Two versions as well!
Cei-U!
I summon the scorecard!

Man-Thing and Captain America??? Man Thing teamed up with someone to sorta help defeat an alien invasion in the his early career... I think it was Iron Man, though, not Captain America... though it's possible the Avengers were on hand in a panel or two... it's the story where one of the monsters from the old ToS series comes back... big White fuzzy dude... someone else will have to provide the details.  |
