Throughout several past Octobers in this here puppet-town cow-blog I've brought you stories of superheroism and mysticism in Rutland, Vermont, set at their annual Halloween Parade. Just search for the category "One Night in Rutland" to fin d others, and be aware I still have not yet finished off this feature! (What is wrong with me?)
Anyway, no Rutland Rutrospective is complete without this page from the 1977 DC Calendar of Super-Spectacular Disasters, which tells the tale of the time the ATom, Hawman, and Hawkgirl fought Felix Faust, the Matter Master, and the Gentleman Ghost at the scariest party to end all parties in Vermont (unless you count that time I got into the vats at the Ben and Jerry's factory)!
They're on a collision course with wackiness! I can say this because the calendar doesn't actually tell us how many people died.
Take us up to date, Justice League computer: what's the latest calculations about the criminal genius behind all these seasonal shenanigans?
Huh, that's still baffling. Another clue, computer?
OH HEY IT'S EARLIER-PERIOD, MORE-INNOCENT DOCTOR LIGHT
