A buddy sent me a text today from a site. It apparently displays humourous text messages between superheroes (some of you may know the site). Anyways, the one he sent me had Spidey talking with DD and Daredevil saying how he easily dispatched Mysterio because he could "sense" the real version when Mysterio tried his multiple-me trick. Spidey suggests that he become DD's responsibilities from now on since he can easily "sense" Mysterio and the illusions do nothing to trick him.
To the point...is there a comic in existence where Mysterio and Daredevil actually meet??

There were probably several. Off the top of my head, the highly publicized Kevin Smith run of DD had Mysterio as the villain.

Haha it is funny, this morning I was rooting through my read pile and I have some issues from that run, specifically number 7 with Mysterio on the cover. Could this be the first meeting of the two? I cannot seem to find anything from 70's or 80's.

I cannot seem to find anything from 70's or 80's. Mysterio was a villain in Karl Kesel's run. He was running an insurance scam. Good story. That's actually why Mysterio went after DD in Smith's run.
I wish Kesel's DD run would get reprinted. There's an upcoming Epic Collection of Joe Kelly's DD run coming out later this year, which is worth it for the return of Gene Colan, but Kesel's run was better overall. It was really a breath of fresh air for a DD title that had become bogged down in its own misery.

Quick update on the Byrne lion picture. I finally summoned up courage to post on ByrneRobotics. A few minutes later JB himself replied: no, the character was nobody in particular, but was probably influenced by Byrne's childhood memories of "Lenny the Lion" and English TV ventriloquist act. Now we know!

That's pretty cool you got an answer from Byrne himself... no need to worry about interpretation then!

OK, this one's been driving me up a wall for a while now. A few posted covers showing the DC heroes as old men has got me thinking about it again.
A DC comic I would have read in the mid-70s had a story featuring Flash, Superman, and Batman as teen-agers, but it didn't take place in the past, rather they were de-aged/trapped somehow in their younger bodies. They retained all their powers and abilities and wore their then-current costumes. Maybe a World's Finest or one of the "Family" titles of the time?
While we're at it, does anyone remember a Flash story called something like "A Second is a Very Long Time"? It would be of about the same vintage as the story above. It was a back-up, and the conceit was that the entire tale took place in one second. |

It wouldn't be Action Comics 466 would it?
I can't seem to be able to attach files right now, but your post reminded me of that Neal Adams cover with Lex Luthor beating up a de-aged Batman, Flash, and Superman while gloating about his brilliance.

You're welcome. That cover has always stood out in my mind as I suspect Neal Adams intended it to. Something about seeing children in danger apparently resonates with kids so Adams used that tactic whenever he could.
