The second of a pair of Zatanna back-ups I wrote for World’s Finest #278 (April 1982), both illustrated by the late, great Dan Spiegle, one of those artists whose work I admired as a kid but whose name I wouldn’t learn until much later on. “Dog Day Afternoon” was lettered by Andy Kubert, colored by Tom Zuiko, and edited by Mike W. Barr.
Often, I can remember where the spark or inspiration came for a particular story, even almost forty years later. With this one, I have no idea what I was thinking. Woof!
