10 Times Marvel And DC Secretly Crossed Over
7. The Rutland Halloween Parade
In 1972, DC writer Len Wein and Marvel writers Steve Engleheart and Gerry Conway were hanging out at the Rutland Halloween Parade in Vermont when they had an idea, a place already filled with people in costume would be the perfect cover for DC and Marvel to stealthily cross over.
The surprisingly meta story began in Marvel Adventures #16. Wein, Engleheart and Conway, along with Wein's wife Glynnis were all inserted into the comic as the four get in the middle of a fight between Beast and Juggernaut on their way to a party.
The story then continued in Justice League of America #103. The quartet's car was stolen by the evil wizard Felix Faust and Glynnis was transformed into Supergirl. The writers chased their car into The Mighty Thor #207 (Glynnis still dressed as Supergirl), just in time for it to knock Loki off a cliff.
The conclusion involved the heroes of both universes coming together in the pages of The Mighty Thor and Justice League of America. In a clever move by the writers and artists, both comics feature a scene from the Rutland Halloween Parade.
The different perspectives from each issue revealed that both the Marvel heroes and the DC heroes had a float in the same parade.
