Okay, in case you didn't see the introduction, the concept is that each day up to and including the 31st of July, I'll be posting six of the most memorable moments from DC Comics' 75-year history. On the 31st, you folks will get a chance to pick your Top 10 out of the 100 choices. I'll tabulate the votes and I'll debut the Top 75 Most Memorable Moments in DC Comics History starting on August 8th. In the meantime, feel free to post suggestions for moments you think should be featured either at our Twitter account (twitter.com/csbg), our Facebook page (facebook.com/comicsshouldbegood) or just e-mail me (bcronin@comicbookresources.com)!

Here's the next six moments! And click here for the master list of all the moments posted so far!

NOTE: Each day of moments will almost certainly contain some spoilers for past comic books, plus each day might include content that originally appeared in "Mature Readers Only" comics, so be forewarned!

41. Green Arrow's ward is a junkie?!!? (Green Lantern #85)

Denny O'Neill and Neal Adams had this story worked out BEFORE the famous Spider-Man drugs issue, but DC was wary about putting it out against the Comics Code. Luckily, the Spidey story led to the Code changing and this issue was released, and it was a much stronger anti-drug storyline than the Spidey one.

42. The Waynes take a night stroll (Detective Comics #33)



The parent death that pretty much all parental deaths are measured against. Bill Finger actually only wrote the first two pages of Detective Comics #33 (Gardner Fox wrote the rest) just so he could deliver this origin story. Bob Kane and Sheldon Moldoff did the artwork.

(As an aside, I can't find my Batman Chronicles, so if someone could scan a better copy of Detective Comics #33's origin, I'd gladly use it - I ended up going with the one from Secret Origins #1)

43. Lex Luthor is a big, fat jerk (Superman Vol. 2 #9)

While the Post-Crisis Lex Luthor has moved past this characterization in many ways, for a good many years this was a very popular take on Lex Luthor, and this back-up story where Lex Luthor offers a waitress one million dollars to spend a month with him really stood out to demonstrate the type of villain this Lex Luthor was.

44. David Knight has an inauspicious debut as Starman (Starman #0)

This was a pretty darn striking opening to the acclaimed James Robinson and Tony Harris run on Starman. Rarely does the title character of a book die in the first three pages.

45. Wonder Woman does not see eye-to-eye on things with Maxwell Lord (Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #219)

Maxwell Lord has returned to the living, and I don't know if we'll ever really see this moment referenced again, but it sure was referenced a LOT over the last six years, so I guess it is worth being up there for you to vote on! Greg Rucka and Rags Morales show Wonder Woman determining that the only way to stop Maxwell Lord for good is to end his life.

46. Terra reveals herself (The New Teen Titans #34)

After a number of months of being slowly absorbed on to the team, Terra finally gains the full trust of the Titans by taking on one of their deadliest enemies, Deathstroke the Terminator, one on one! However, we soon learn that the battle was not as "real" as it seemed....

(Thanks to John Trumbull for reminding me I had the wrong issue number initially for this moment)
