And here I thought they hadn't met till E1 Bat's went to E-2 and helped that Robin take down Hugo Strange.
Best remembered part of that for me was Robin saying that Bats was about the same age as he was.

They did play a little fast and loose with the time thing in those days. I remember a couple of stories where Batman's father was supposed to have been active in World War Two, as were Commissioner Gordon and Perry White. But yeah, it was odd to say that the E-2 Robin was the E-1 Batman's age in 1981, when he had been Robin since 1940.

I wasn't expecting this question to be so hard. I guess there aren't as many Hembeck fans on this board as I thought.

OK, here's a couple more clues.

The Fred Hembeck strip in question was published in 1980.

In my original question, I did state that the two characters had not appeared in the same JLA/JSA team-up at that point, which implies that they did appear in one together sometime after that.

I'm a Hembeck fan, heck I friended him on facebook!

I just can't think of who it would be. GL and GL?

Nope, not them. And don't ask Fred either!

E-1 Green Arrow and E-2 Green Lantern?

Actually, I doubt that one, since I seem to recall them both being part of the 7 soldiers storyline. I could be wrong tho.

If not them, I'll go with Ray Palmer for E-1 and Dr Fate for E-2.

Neither of those. And not only were Ray Palmer and Dr Fate both part of the Seven Soldiers storyline, they were on the same team that went back to ancient Mexico to rescue the Crimson Avenger!

Okay, one last clue: each hero was unique to his or her Earth. There was no Earth-Two version of the Earth-One hero, and vice-versa.

I can only conjure up one JLA-JSA crossover that came after 1980 (not counting the Infinity Inc.-Justice League Detroit one)... who was in that one...

Starman and Martian Manhunter?

--good question, Custom.

One right, one wrong.

And the annual JLA/JSA crossovers were published every year from 1963 to 1985.

Let me quote Robert Jordan here, "What am I, ignorant? Was I raised in a cave?"

I know the JLA-JSA events were annual deals, but I only read one before Crisis. Probably 1984's, with the Commander as the villain, and then 1985's Crisis tie-in.

--Robert Jordan said that to me when I asked if he was a Robert Heinlein fan.
