Similarly, Superman and Lex Luthor showed up in Swamp Thing during Veitch's run. I thought Animal Man was a Vertigo book at some point during Morrison's run, so Blood's appearance in the last big story would almost certainly put him in the Vertigo version of the series.<BR/><BR/>Muddy waters, these DC Universes.

Martian Manhunter showed up once or twice in Sandman and appeared in Animal Man. Superman made an Animal Man appearance as well. <BR/><BR/>*Jason Woodrue, member of the Secret Society of Super-Villains, was in Moore's introductory Swamp Thing story, and showed up in Black Orchid as well. <BR/><BR/>*Dr. Occult is one of Tim Hunter's pals. <BR/><BR/>*Jason Blood and Etrigan rated appearances in Swamp Thing and Animal Man, while he was mentioned in Sandman.<BR/><BR/>*Hector and Lyta Hall have had their histories intertwined with Vertigo ever since Sandman, though they don't often visit.<BR/><BR/>*Wes Dodds, the original Sandman, was a JSA member who warranted his own Vertigo ongoing. <BR/><BR/>*And then there's the most frequent crosser-over, Animal Man, who holds both a JLA reserve card and a skeleton key to the Vertigo universe.<BR/><BR/>That's about all I can think of off the top of my head, though.Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1124891420252995052005-08-24T06:50:00.000-07:002005-08-24T06:50:00.000-07:00I'm so smart.Solomon Grundy?I'm so smart.<BR/><BR/>Solomon Grundy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1124815066064056642005-08-23T09:37:00.000-07:002005-08-23T09:37:00.000-07:00Great call, Chris.
