Justice League Episode: Eclipsed
A gemstone turns all those that touch it evil. Before the heroes
deal with the super villain created by this gem, there is a lot of
comedy in this episode. Gordon Godfrey a talk show host gives the Flash
a hard time while Flash struggles to do commercials to earn some extra
dough. Things get rough when overly ambitious Hawk Girl busts the
gem into a million pieces that fly into the whole League except the
Flash. It's up to the Flash to get the Justice League out of the spell
of the fragmented gem.

Flash asks Green Lantern to go on a road trip
Flash: Hey, we should take a road trip?
Green Lantern: What?
Flash: Think about it - two hard-travelling heroes cruising the countryside looking for America.
Green Lantern: Uh, yeah, I'll let you know when my schedule frees up. This
whole conversation is related to the critically acclaimed Green
Lantern/Green Arrow series from Neal Adams and Danny O'Neil where
our heroes take a road trip and run into highly charged political
issues of the day. This run also marked the first appearance of
John Stewart in issue 87. If
