The reason I haven't replied is I can't tell if this question is for the DC Universe various characters or the Marvel series which I know nothing about.

If it is the DC one: Garth Ranzz, Ayla Ranzz, Leslie Willis.

But since this is the Non-Legion comics trivia thead, I assume its the Marvel one you're asking about...in which case...I'd have to cheat.

Tell you what - I meant the Marvel series, but since no-one's come forward after a couple of days with so much as a guess, I'll just give it to you since the question IS a bit vague in retrospect, and you gave an answer which fits the question as-asked.

For the record, the answer I was looking for was "Social Butterfly, Hollowpoint Ninja, Gothic Lolita, Cornfed, Stem Cell and Homebrew."

[Oh, and I recommend people buy the digest if they can get hold of it.]

Away you go.

In the Golden Age a commonly used back-up was "Just Imagine..." in which a scenario was presented to the readers about something science-fiction or adventure related that might happen in the future. For instance: "Just Imagine the Rocket Lanes of Tomorrow". In the 1950's, this feature was reprinted in many of the science-fiction anthologies of the day.

Who are the two legendary comic book creators that developed this feature together?

Away you go.

Plus there was a minor Marvel villain who appeared in the early 60's--a cowboy with an electrified lasso...

As a total wild guess, I'm going to guess Ed Hamilton and Julius Schwartz

That's a great guess but unfortunately not the answer. It definitely feels like a Schwartz type feature, doesn't it?

Seeing as you said this was a Golden Age feature, I'll guess Siegel & Shuster.

Its not but I figured that would be the first guess.

As a hint because I haven't gotten too many guesses, its the Late Golden Age...

You got it! It was indeed a Simon & Kirby feature, one of many they created for DC. It was also one of the very last they did at DC before moving away from the Company for a decade, going on to Harvey and Prize comics.

You're up!

In the 50's, Madagascar was a very exotic place to comic book writers. DC had two protagonists of the decade visit there: Adam Strange and which one even earlier in the decade?
