CROSSOVER MADNESS

 Small publisher Columbia had one long-running anthology, BIG SHOT COMICS, mixing new features (like superheroes Skyman and The Face) with comic strip reprints. BIG SHOT frequently mingled disparate feature characters on covers, as had many other publishers. But in BS #85, Tony Trent (formerly The Face) married his long-standing girlfriend, and in attendance were Phil from MICKEY FINN, Dixie Dugan, Skyman and his girlfriend, goofy teen Brass Knuckles and his steady, and three characters from SPARKY WATTS.

 

MONSTER MASHUPS #165

 This item from BIG SHOT #79 (1947) may qualify as the most obscure mm here. Two ghosts (named, unimaginatively, "Drakky" and "Franky") try to dodge their witch-girlfriends ("Haggie and Baggie"). The ghosts and witches change into human beings and bump into the long-forgotten star of the four-page strip, a teen schmuck named "Brass Knuckles."

Not only did the author like Frankie and Drakky enough to bring them back in BS 82, he has them introduce Brass to Horrible Horace, Bloody Boris and Gruesome Gertie.

MONSTER MASHUPS #164

 The SUPERMANSION episode "Sympathy for Black Saturn" parodies the UNDERWORLD franchise, opposing a clan of vampires ("the Dracuvlads") against one of werewolves ("the Wolvenlykes"). The two clans also appear in "Saturn's Six," but only long enough to get wiped out. 

MONSTER MASHUPS #163

 JLA #53 features a technically unnamed villain (though two captions call him "The Master Thief") who challenges the League with a bunch of animated statues of folkloric monsters-- the Monster of Leeds (aka the Jersey Devil), the Doodang, the Ring-Tailed Roarer-- plus one folk-hero and his animal-buddy: Paul Bunyan and his blue ox Babe.

   

MONSTER MASHUPS #162

 Though the monstrous foes of the Heroic Moby Dick get top billing in their only appearance--

-- apparently no one did any screengrabs of the nasty subsea swarm. But someone DID record the appearance of the episode's second big beastie, described as a Giant Man-o-War.

 

RAR #106: ENSIGN WALKING BEAR

 The animated STAR TREK introduced a Comanche crewmember because the Enterprise encountered an ET claiming to be the Mayan deity Kukulcan, so they needed a crewman who could discourse on pre-Columbian culture.

RAR #105: THE LOST MESA TRIBE

 BATMAN #26 (1944) introduced the duo to the Lost Mesa Tribe, who forged their own lost city to escape the torments of the conquistadors 400 years ago. The Indian tribe is not specified, though they call their abode a "pueblo."
