From time to time, Gar shows up in series other than Titans and Doom Patrol. I've managed to find a few of his appearances.
If you see any appearances by Gar that I don't have on the site, please email me!
| Legends |
|||||||||||
| Gar gets
quite a bit of exposure in the Legends mini-series. This is after Wally
becomes Flash, when he was still "hanging" with the Titans. He and Gar
seem to be the official "Titans representatives" in the mini-series and
both get equal time (as opposed to most comics today - where if Gar
shows up, he's just stuck in a picture for a common face in the group).
Gar even appears on two of the covers of the mini-series. Plotter: John Ostrander Scripter: Len Wein Penciller: John Byrne |

| Justice Leagues |

|
The Justice Leagues miniseries was a bit of a
disappointment. A few side teams got token mentions, including the
"Justice League of Adventure" created by Flash. Interesting that Gar is
the only of the old team mates to join up (Nightwing refused). |

| Captain Carrot and His
Amazing Zoo Crew |
|||||||||||
| Gar, of
course, was the natural choice for a guest star in the last
issue of Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (ok, so I have 3
copies
of that issue ^^; ) However, one thing I noticed is that one comment on the cover of that issue seems to sum up how Gar is often treated in comics. Click on the thumbnail for a larger version of the cover to see what I mean. Plotter: E. Nelson Bridwell Writer: Joey Cavalieri Penciller: Rick Hoberg |

| X-men/New Teen Titans Crossover | |||||||||||||||
| In 1982,
fans were supposed to be treated to a series of "Marvel and DC Present"
comics - we were lucky to get the X-men/New Teen Titans teamup before
the two companies had a falling out (luckily over 10 years later
we get the X-patrol Amalgams). The X-men and the New Teen Titans were considered a natural team-up at the time. In 1982, they were not only two teams that could be thought of having similar dynamics and make-ups, but were also two of the most popular teams out in comics. DC and Marvel characters were assumed to inhabit a shared universe, just never meeting (later changed by the DC versus Marvel mini-series where it was established that there were parallel universes, which goes against the whole Crisis, which goes into screwed up continuity, but I digress). Nowadays to be able to accomplish a crossover, somehow one side needs to get through to the other's dimension. Naturally there had to be a meeting of Logan (Gar) and Logan (Wolverine) with the inevitable relationship comment. Another interesting point is the way that Chris Claremont paired up the two youngest team members, Gar and Kitty Pride (known as Sprite at the time). Claremont did a good job of balancing the teams - the comic doesn't let or two characters take over like they do today. The comic is set after the death of Jean Grey in Marvel continuity, with the villains being Dark Phoenix, Darkseid, and the Terminator.

| Secret Files and
Origins |
|||||||
| In
the final issue of Secret Files and Origins, Grant Morrison wrote a
story showing the meeting of the Flashes (Barry Allen and Jay Garrick)
from the point of view of a
blonde haired young boy visiting the States while his parents worked in
Africa. This young boy is supposed to be Garfield Logan, age 8. Which actually makes no sense since by age 4, Gar was green and by age 6, his parents were dead. Research people, research! Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Mike Parobeck Colorist: Tom Ziuko Inker: Romeo Tanghal |

at the time this was written Wonder Girl was still Wonder Woman's
adopted sister, a New Teen Titans/Wonder Woman crossover was
inevitible. Thanks to Rodney Sweigert for sending me these scans. Writer: Marv Wolfman Artist: Don Heck |
