I am primarily a Marvel guy but I do collect Batman and a few other DC titles.
I am curious of some of the more earlier examples of the two companies referencing one another. Be this in a jab or a quick remark. This idea came to me while reading ASM #123, in which Luke Cage makes the following statement.
Definitely not the first I am sure, but let's share some other Marvel scenes/books that reference DC or vice versa! |

 I think this was in ASM #700 when Doc Ock took over the body of Peter Parker/Spider-Man and starts his Superior Spider-Man run. |

There was the one from 1966 in Adventure #350 where Chameleon Boy takes a shot at Spider-Man (courtesy of CBR's "Comic Legends Revealed" column):

Check out E. Nelson Bridwell's run on Inferior Five. More than once they met super-heroic types like the Kookie Four (Mr. Manplastic, the Vanishing Queen, Matchstick Kid and Whatchamaycallit);   Cobweb Kid,  Iron Pants, Nabob the Sub-Moron, Hector Prynne and his gir  lfriend Janice , aka King Size and Tsetse Fly.  There was a spoof of Thor (called Thor), but whose secret identity was Don R. Blitz. the Egg's Men, with Dean egghead, The Ape, Basilisk, Icarus, Levitation lass and Winter Wonderland.  |

According to the GCD, this story was written by E. Nelson Bridwell. Bridwell was probably one of the few people at DC who was aware of what was going on at Marvel. |

That oversized worm is really gross, particularly in the third and fourth panels. Bleech!

Years of comics readign have inured me to humanimals: Insect Queen, six-armed Spidey, Man-Hawks, whatever. It's the bulging segments when the thing is entangled. Just looks like it's packed with pus or some other gooey substance that's going to explode all over poor Chameleon Boy. (Yeah, I know. Calling Dr. Freud...) |
