Back then in 1985 to 1987 when I was a little kid I remember certain issues from G.I. Joe to Power Pack, Uncanny X Men and Alpha Flight.
For Alpha Flight issue 48 I sort of remember someone's legs fusing together in an icky way but there was some other odd issue of Alpha Flight where Heather in her Vindicator outfit, she got attacked and swarmed by bees.
Then with G.I. Joe there's issues 53 to 55 and issue 53 is the one I remember the most where it got dark and scary where it was supposed to Flint that was being tortured.
Anyone else besides rememeber other odd moments from old comic books from back then where you remember seeing things and then today you cant find those certain moments anymore?

Not exactly; but, I have memories of reading the Fox and the Crow comics, from DC, except they turned over to Stanley & His Monster by the time I was old enough to read. Only thing I can think of was they were old ones from a bagged set or hand me downs.
I distinctly remember a story involving a walking step ladder, which at one point the Fox thinks is lying on its side; but, it turns out to be a fence.
I also recall reading some Three Mouseketeers, which were still around. I got a digital collection of those and sure enough, some of the panels in a couple of issues seemed familiar.
I ended up running across The Fox and the Crow story, in The Smithsonian Book of Comic Book Comics.

I remember a story, probably in one of DC's early 70s suspense titles, about a little human boy being chased by the inhabitants of a monster-town throughout the whole story. But then at the end, we saw that we were seeing the whole story from his perspective, and he was really a little monster boy being chased by regular humans. It was very Twilight Zone. I asked about it around here last year, but nobody else could recall it.

Yes! I remembered reading a friend's comic in which Nova was blasting other heroes to bits. It disturbed me at the time! Since he was apparently killing these other characters I was sure it was from a What If and many years later I bought the issue that explored other people getting the Nova powers, but was disappointed to not find that part in any of the stories. Somehow later I found out that it was from Nova's own series, but that they were robots. I guess I didn't read the whole issue as a kid, or I just forgot that aspect.

Alpha Flight # 48 i found and browsed through and yeah one of the characters gets their legs fused in an icky way but i still remember Heather Hudson in her Vindicator outfit she was surrounded by bees or something.
Alot of weird stuff like that happened in issues like that whether it was Alpha Flight, Power Pack, Uncanny X-Men 208 where Rogue was trying to save Colossus from him being sucked underground and other comics.
Must be part of that Mendela Effect or whatever which even happens in comic books where today we still remember weird comic book moments that happened in the comics blah blah

Batman/Black Canary crossover, probably written by Haney, in which Batman revealed that he hates cottage cheese.
I also hate cottage cheese (unless it's on fruit salad), so found it validating.

Must be part of that Mendela Effect or whatever which even happens in comic books where today we still remember weird comic book moments that happened in the comics blah blah Hadn't heard of the Mandela Effect before, so thanks for bringing it up! It perfectly captures something I could still swear I had seen and heard in the first of the three (there are only three) Indiana Jones movies. It's the scene when Indy squares off against the giant guy showing off with his giant sword in the marketplace. Instead of engaging the guy in a fight, Indy just pulls out his pistol and shoots him. I would swear that when I first saw it, Indy wearily says, "Oh, sh*t." before he shoots the guy dead. I never saw or heard it when I rewatched the movie, but it's as if I can see and hear it perfectly that way in my memory. I'm guessing that over the years I may have conflated Indy's reaction in that scene with the story that Harrison Ford and Spielberg tell about why they didn't stage the whip vs. sword confrontation that had been planned. Ford, the story goes was sick as a dog with dysentery and he/ they just said, "Sh*t, I'm just gonna shoot him." Of course, for all I know, I'm making that up, too!  |

Hadn't heard of the Mandela Effect before. . .It perfectly captures something I could still swear I had seen and heard in the first of the three (there are only three) Indiana Jones movies. I was Mandela-ed by the whole Berenstein / Berenstain Bears thing, along with a whole slew of other people. Like them, I read the books, watched the TV specials, and was in general very familiar with these bears. I can still vividly picture the name "Berenstein" in cursive on all their merchandise. It was only a few years ago that the distinction was made explicit to me and it was quite jarring. It's like finding out Frosted Flakes are actually called Frosted Flakies. And always have been. It made me light-headed (probably from my body adjusting to this re-ordered reality  ). |

I will work that into my upcoming reviews.  |

Even though it didnt happen in issue 48 of Alpha Flight, I know theres gotta be an issue of Alpha Flight either before or after where Heather Hudson gets attacked and swarmed by bees or something and her teammates are attacked also.

Not mine, but a friend of mine claims he read a Planet of the Apes-style story involving Batman. Possibly late 70s/80s.
I've never been able to find any details of such a story despite extensive Googling.

I've never been able to find any details of such a story despite extensive Googling. Might be The Brave and the Bold issue 120 starring Kamandi. Published April 1975 with a cover date of July 1975 (thanks Mike's Amazing World) and reprinted in Showcase Presents vol 3, Legends of the Dark Knight Jim Aparo vol 1 and B&B Bronze Age Omnibus #1. The cover has a trio of Apes on horseback dragging a tied up Batman behind them with Kamandi astride a horse leaping to his aide. Can't remember all the details other than Batman ends up helping in Kamandi's time. |

Thank you very much.
I did try various Google phrases (at least four), but nothing ever helped.
