Was there ever a DC comic called _ **The Viking Prince** _? I remember an issue of _ **Our Army at War** _ from around 1965 in which Sgt Rock of Easy Company teamed up with the aforementioned Prince on a commando raid in Norway. A hot redheaded female Resistance fighter was thrown into the mix just to spice things up a bit. It was never explained what this 1000-year-old warrior clearly in the prime of his life was doing in 1940s Norway, and I assumed he had just thawed out of a glacier or something. He was still willing and able to fight, however, and helped blow up a Tiger tank by sticking his sword into its view slit. (The sparks from the metal on metal ignited the Tiger’s fuel and ammunition.) There was ar least one DC war comic in which all of the main heroes of the label’s different GI series were brought together to fight the Nazis. The two who were sergeants (Rock and Jeb Stuart) were promoted to lieutenant at the end, but Rock resigned his commission the next month and went back to being a non-com. ---

Don’t worry. The person who did that has put out a ton of fake “Super Team Family” covers. ---

Some time ago I’d stumbled across the GAH/Superman one on some other site when searching for other GAH stuff and remembered it was out there; I didn’t think to look for the real source, just clipped the first instance I found from google search results this time. Entertaining site it originally came from, all told. ---

The real “Super Team Family” comics ran from 1975 to 1978 for about 15 issues, and used in-house characters only. I don’t think DC collaborated with any outside publishers during that time. I think the first time DC and Marvel joined forces was (and please correct me if I am wrong) on something involving none of their own characters-“The Wizard Of Oz”, done in the over large format they later used with their “Superman/Spider-Man” team up. ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > Superman and Spiderman > [@hogarth](#): > > Batman and The Hulk Personally, I don’t think superhero team ups are a particularly strange crossover, even if they are from rival companies, and different comic universes. Strange is when two characters from extremely different genres meet. ---

A fun one from the 90s was Amalgam Comics. DC and Marvel came together to create a fictional in print that crossed their characters together. Dark Claw was a cross between Batman and Wolverine. Spider Boy was Spider-Man and Superboy. There were a bunch of others. It was fun and I think the collaboration led to Avengers vs the Justice League (which I am gutted I lost in a move because it was only reprinted once as a special expensive fundraiser for George Perez before he passed away). ---

Marvel did something similar when it had the Avengers meet the Western heroes Kid Colt, Rawhide, the Two-Gun Kid and the Ghost Rider (AKA the Night Rider AKA the Phantom Rider). My personal favorite: Spider-Man and the Not Ready For Prime Time Players AKA the original SNL cast.
