Not in that issue. It's the *following* issue where the steamboat runs aground and they end up surviving on their gumbo rations against the alligators in the swamp.

The musician was killed by a poisoned blow dart launched from a jazz instrument, but returned from the dead to play a couple of nights at a club following a voodoo ceremony. His battle with Bats occurred atop a streetcar, before Bats escaped a sudden flood aboard a steamboat. Yes! Absolutely. How did you guess? Let me just check the details in the comic ... oh ... wait ... sorry Thoth I must have been remembering a fever dream brought on by lead-poisoning. were the directions to the treasure hidden in the instrument? Well done Ibby! Exactly correct. The musician was killed to steal his trumpet which apparently had a map engraved in it to a lost gold mine. The villain manages to get the trumpet but while running away from Batman is caught up in the Mardi Gras. The trumpet is dropped, stomped over by hundreds of feet, and the map - if it ever existed - is lost. I feel that this is kissing my memories. Maybe a Conway/late '70s/early '80s story? Or perhaps someone else from the same time frame like Wein or O'Neil....  Right on track. According to the DC wiki: This story was the first Batman story written by Dennis O'Neil. It was written as an assignment for Julius Schwartz in the late 60s, but the style did not fit the camp style of that decade. For this reason it was delayed until this publication date. It was published in Batman #224 in mid-1970. I read it years ago in a black-and-white reprint and it is one of the Batman stories that stuck in my head. I rather liked the "detective Batman" stories with just a touch of the creepy or macabre which ran around then. They made him a very interesting somewhat mysterious and yet still somewhat believable figure. Ibby you're up.

Yeah, I had my x-ray spex on. Not by mistake though. If you had a pair, you'd not take 'em off either.

still no two correct. one of the two correct answers has never been guessed yet.
more hints:
1) This character was not a fully active Leaguer at the time of the story (though was one before, and would soon be one again)
2) Maxima's anger was also mixed with jealousy over Superman
which two female Justice Leaguers infuriated Maxima so much, that she succumbed to Eclipso?
Fire and Ice: 1 correct
Fire and Dr. Light: 0 correct
Power Girl and Crimson Fox: 0 correct
Fire and Huntress: 0 Correct
Ice and Mary Marvel: 1 correct

Lardy has it!
Eclipso used Maxima's jealousy against her. Wonder Woman guest-starred at the time.

In 1983 and 1984, DC published 2 stories that were essentially alternate takes on a character's return from the situation they were last seen in. The second was labeled an "Imaginary story" on the splash page in deference to the prior published story. Both stories were drawn by the same artist. What character's return did both stories depict?

trying to think of who returned in the years before COIE... Martian Manhunter maybe? Lardy has it!
