Stealing Lance's idea over in the Spaceopoly forum, I thought I'd put a Comic Book twist on it (Mods, feel free to move to Spaceopoly, is necessary).
Any Annual, from any book, any company. One question at a time.
I'm thinking of an Annual...

Yes, it was published by DC.

If it must, it must, suppose....

Done!
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Is it an annual for a super-team?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Is it a Pre-Crisis annual?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Not a Super-Team.
Occurs after Crisis on Infinite Earths.

I was going to start a thread with this title, but put it in the Anywhere Machine.
I'm thinking of an annual... it's usually red, with five petals, and very attractive to both bees and hummingbirds...
Ah, well. This is what happens when you don't seize the day.

Is it an Annual for someone with super-powers?
Posted by He Who LSHes on :
Is it an Annual for a character who was around before Crisis?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
The Lead character does not have Super Powers and was around before Crisis
Posted by He Who LSHes on :
Is the lead character Batman?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Yes it is Batman.

No it isn't that one.
Posted by lancesrealm on :

No and No.
Posted by lancesrealm on :

Is it Batman Annual #15 the Last Batman Story?
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
No, it's not that one.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Is it this one?

Nope.
So to recap, it's a Batman Annual between 10 and 20 (excluding 14 & 15) and it isn't part of an event or crossover.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Is it this one?
Posted by Dev - Em on :
Is it:
Posted by Dave Hackett on :
Lard Lad is correct! "Mortal Clay" by Alan Moore is still one of my favourite Clayface stories and I'm always disappointed this version of Clayface doesn't get used much.
Lard Lad's question.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Ha! That was actually the first Batman Annual I thought of, but I second-guessed myself!
'Bout to go to work. I'll pick one tonight...

If we're talking the actual character whose book it is, no that hero isn't known for having a lot of red on his/her costume.
....gave me pause because Jack's dad appears on the cover, and his costume IS primarily red. But Jack's "costume", such as it is, is known primarily for the black jacket and pants. And he IS the titular "Starman" of the book, so I answered correctly.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Also...

No. Not really.
...Jack usually sports the goggles, but never really wears a mask.
Posted by Future on :
The mask clue is finally what tipped me off, as I know Jack's goggles don't quite qualify and he doesn't wear them all the time...but it gives enough reason for a pause.
Also, thanks for sharing the image, Lardy! I'm a bit lazy tonight when it comes to logging in to the picture hosting site.

More "No"s.
To recap:
It is a DC Annual that is not a Team book and was published in the '90s whose title starts with "The...".
It is not any of the following:
The Flash, The Question, The Outsiders, The Adventures of Superman, The Power of the Atom, The Question, The Books of Magic, The Fury of Firestorm or The Shadow Strikes.
That should narrow it down some .

The introduction of Thunder, one of the Legionnaires who I thought had great potential, but never really lived up to it. It was a fun story. You're next.
Posted by Future on :
I agree with you, Dave! I remember that annual made me excited for Thunder when she debuted on the team - yet the character on the Legion didn't quite live up to the story there. I think the Rock of Eternity plot overshadowed her.

I bought that off the spinner rack back in the day! I don't have it any more but remember absolutely LOVING it!
DCCP was a HUGE gateway comic into the DCU for me, giving me Superman and a new or unfamiliar hero every month. Also, loved when they had the "Whatever happened to..." backups, with the Crimson Avenger one being a stand-out. Actually, forgot that DCCP had annuals!
Wonder who wrote and drew it? Gonna have to track that one down some day....

Uncanny X-Men + Fantastic Four Annual 1998 (whew) was actually a really fun little story. It was self-contained, however was part of Marvel's mandate for the annuals that year to be team-ups. The story itself is a lot of fun, with a Ben vs Logan run poker match, Sam and Johnny as unwilling seat fillers, and Beast and Cecilia Reyes bumping into Reed and Sue at the opera just in time to fight Psycho Man, I believe.

This was one of my favorite annuals of the v4 era, mostly for the reunion story where we got to see a lot of neglected Legionnaires of the time. The first story, with the nine panel grid and Al Gordon's inks, was penciled by Rob Haynes and Ian Montgomery in a very intentional Giffen style - that's where my confusion came from.
You're up, sir!

Cool! Your one hint implied three stories. Was there a third story in that annual?
Posted by Future on :
The reunion story was technically the third story. The first was Brainy working on Timber Wolf's fatal condition and the second, oft-forgotten story was the lead-in for Timber Wolf's mini series in the 20th century.

And we have a winnah! A very significant annual (and the only real important character to come out of that awful Bloodlines crossover ) for the very reason you state. The debut of Hitman who had a terrific 60-issue run in his own spin-off!
Ironically, as big a fan as I am of Hitman and Garth Ennis, I've never read the annual in question nor any of Garth's run on the Demon! (DC hasn't ever helped matters by collecting that run, btw. )

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Since Reboot pointed out Dev's first answer was already a dead issue, I'd say his substitute question is fair game.
He is correct... Swamp Thing Annual 2 it is! Possibly the best Hell story in comics.
If someone objects to Dev's win, speak your mind and let's sort this out before we move ahead.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Nah, it's cool--helluva guess, dev!
Posted by Reboot on :
So, Dev, have you thought of an Annual, yet? Posted by lancesrealm on :
Dev, is it pre-Crisis?

Posted by Dev - Em on :
Yep. I remember getting this on vacation. It was so cool looking into the past of Darth Vader and Luke's father. So not where the movies actually went...but I still dig that Simonson cover.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Hmmm....don't remember this one, though I almost certainly bought it when I was a kid unless i missed it. It was about "Luke's father"? Lucasfilm must've had a laugh with that one!
Posted by Dev - Em on :
From the CBDB - This issue features a flashback to events during the clone wars, to a time when Luke Skywalker's father and Obi-Wan Kenobi were on the planet Skye and saved it from a terrible disaster.
I think Vader shows up in the 'present' day though. Oh yeah, it was written by Claremont as well.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
So it shows Luke's father? Did he look like Hayden Christianson? Posted by Lard Lad on :
Okay....thinking of an annual here.

Does the title start with a letter in the A - F range?
Posted by Reboot on :
Is it Immortal Iron Fist Annual #1?
[Dev, there's not much point in narrowing - I make it there's only three annuals that definitely fit the hints, and two that are borderline. Marvel haven't DONE many annuals since 2006, and once you take out Spider/X/Avengers/team books/other books with prominent mutant involvement, and the Ultimate books since they start with U,... like I say, very few]

And we have a WINNAH! Good detective work, 'Boot! (I thought I'd get more mileage there, actually!)
Doesn't this look like something you'd like to read?
Immortal Iron Fist (and the follow-up mini Immortal Weapons) was one of Marvel's best series of the last decade, IMO, from start to finish. I miss it a lot! Any of you reading this thread could do a lot worse than buying those trades to see what I mean!
Yer next, 'Boot!
Posted by Dev - Em on :
Well, as I do not follow much of Marvel nowadays, I really have no idea how many Annuals they have produced lately...thus trying to narrow it. Good work on that one though.
Posted by Reboot on :
FTR, the other two were Black Panther &Daredevil Annuals. But I remembered you liking that Iron Fist series, so it seemed by far the most likely
Annual an of thinking am I. (Wait, stop that, reverse it!)
