Teams up with the Justice
League to stop Gorilla Grodd To our Little
“Super Hero” Love Always, Mommy
and Daddy The
greatest super heroes of all time have joined together to battle the forces of
evil as – the Justice League! One of
the group’s most dangerous foes is the super-intelligent gorilla named
Grodd. A renegade scientist from a
hidden city of intelligent apes, Grodd possesses enormous physical strength and
a powerful mind. Only the Justice
League stands between this diabolical villain and his goal to conquer all
mankind! Kelsey Shaye Whiting, age
4, was thrilled to be one of the first visitors at The Adventure Zone,
an incredible new theme park that just opened near Midland,
Texas. Kelsey
rode the park’s Jungle Ride and saw ferocious wild animals. The next attraction was the water show. Four dolphins jumped right over the
audience’s heads to get to their lunch!
Kelsey couldn’t wait to come back and
show Garrett, Tevin,
and Heath the amazing dolphins. But Kelsey’s
perfect day was ruined when a panic started in the park. “What’s going on?” Kelsey asked a boy hurrying by. “The animals are loose! Run for your life!” shouted the boy. Kelsey
tried to get out of the park, but there was a herd of elephants blocking the
path to the main gates. Kelsey decided she needed to find a place to hide –
fast! Kelsey
found a bush to hide behind and watched as a rhinoceros rumbled past. She was amazed when the rhino suddenly began
to rise up into the air. Kelsey saw Superman lifting the huge animal over his
head and Kelsey realized that the Justice League
had come to the rescue! Wonder Woman tossed her magic lasso
around the neck of an alligator. “How
could all these animals have escaped at once?” she asked. “You can bet there’s some kind of
monkey business going on,” joked the Flash. “Whatever it is, I’ll be back as soon
as I corral the giraffe and big cats!” Green Lantern shouted. “And who better than me to round up
these rare golden eagles?” cried Hawkgirl. Batman studied the locks on the
animal’s cages and discovered that the stampede was no accident. “The locks on these cages have been cut with
some kind of laser beam,” said the Caped Crusader. “We need to find out who did this – and why.” A booming voice rang out from the side
of the mountain. “Can it be that you
don’t recognize the hand of your old enemy Grodd at work here, Batman?” “Actually, I did. But I wanted you to show yourself,” said
Batman. “Only so that I can crush you all!”
shouted Grodd. The villainous gorilla
began hurling passenger cars from the Jungle Ride down the side of the
mountain. One of them was heading
straight at Kelsey! But before she could react, a red and yellow blur swept her out
of the way. “Welcome aboard the Flash
express. Next stop, safety!” said the
Flash as he carried Kelsey away from the falling
passenger cars. Superman and Wonder Woman flew
straight to the top of the mountain.
They could see Grodd leaping down the other side. “He’s heading for the dolphin pools,”
said Superman. “Don’t let him escape!” Wonder Woman
shouted as she soared over the mountaintop. In the blink of an eye, the Flash
dropped Kelsey off out of harm’s way. “I’ve got to run,” he said. “There’s another monkey that needs to be put
back in his cage!” As the Flash sped away toward the
dolphin pools, Kelsey decided to follow
him. The water show was exciting, but
seeing the Justice League battle Grodd was an act that Kelsey
did not want to miss! Superman and Wonder Woman were already
closing in on their foe. Grodd fired
laser blasts at his enemies as they swooped down toward him. “All of you will fall before the power
of Grodd!” he boasted. “Put away that pea shooter and come
quietly,” said Superman. Grodd’s laser
blasts bounced harmlessly off Superman’s powerful chest. Batman hurried to catch up with his
teammates. “Don’t forget how clever
Grodd is,” he warned. “We don’t know
what kind of surprises he might have in store for us!” Batman was right – Grodd had lured the
Justice League into a trap! He
activated a machine that shot out a powerful beam of light. In an instant, the beam created an energy cage
around each of the heroes. Superman and Wonder Woman tried with
all their might to break out of the cages, but it was no use. “Save your strength,” Batman told his
teammates. “Grodd’s machine is
absorbing every bit of power you throw against the cages. You’re just making them stronger!” Kelsey
reached the dolphin pools, where she could hear Grodd’s sinister voice. “Yes, Batman. What better way to trap super heroes than to use their own powers
against them! And now that there is no
one to defend it, the entire world of man will bow to Grodd!” Kelsey
ducked behind a large barrel and tried to think of a way to help the Justice
League. But what could she do to stop
an evil super gorilla? Kelsey
noticed an awful smell coming from the barrel she was hiding behind. It was filled with fish for the
dolphins. That gave Kelsey a great idea! “Once I have conquered this world, all
of mankind will serve me!” said Grodd.
He enjoyed gloating over his prisoners so much that he didn’t notice Kelsey rolling the barrel of fish toward the edge of
the pool. But the dolphins in the other
pool certainly noticed! They knew from
experience that the barrel was full of their favorite food. Kelsey
spilled the whole barrel of fish into the pool. “Dinner time! Come and
get it!” she said. The hungry dolphins
immediately leaped out of their pool.
The only thing standing between them and a delicious dinner was Grodd’s
machine, so the dolphins smashed right through it to get to their fish! Grodd was taken completely by
surprise. “No! My energy cages are dissolving!” he cried. Kelsey
cheered as the energy cages holding the Justice League vanished. Wonder Woman threw her lasso around
Grodd before he could move. “I can
promise that the jail cell you’re headed for won’t disappear so easily, Grodd!”
she said. The gorilla struggled to pull the
golden lasso out of Wonder Woman’s hands, but she held on tight. “You haven’t defeated me yet,
do-gooders,” Grodd Growled. Superman swooped down and lifted Grodd
off the ground with one mighty hand.
“Oh, I think we have,” said the man of steel with a smile. Being a super-intelligent ape, Grodd
was smart enough to know he couldn’t beat the whole Justice League at
once. He bowed his head in defeat. “It’s over,” said Superman. “And here’s the person we have to
thank for our escape,” Batman said, pointing at Kelsey. “Hey, those hungry dolphins should get
some credit, too!” added the Flash. The Justice League made sure that
Grodd was locked away where he would never threaten anyone again. Then they flew back to Midland, Texas and picked up Kelsey
in their space ship, the Javelin-7. “We couldn’t have stopped Grodd
without your help, Kelsey,” said Superman. “So how about a quick spin around the Earth
as a reward?” Soon, Kelsey
was rocketing through space with the Justice League. They flew past the Watchtower, the team’s space station
headquarters, and then circled around the moon. “I wish Garrett,
Tevin, and Heath
could see this!” Kelsey said. “You can tell them all about it when
we land at The Adventure Zone,” said Batman.
“We invited everyone to meet you there.” Sure enough, when they reached the
park, Garrett, Tevin,
and Heath were waiting for Kelsey. The
Justice League joined in a big parade held in Kelsey’s
honor. When it was over, they rode all
the rides and sat through every show right by Kelsey’s
side! The End ©DC Comics Kelsey Shaye Whiting
