Reign of the Supermen #515: Superman Finger Puppet

Source: Justice League of America vol.1 #10 (1962)
Type: Villain accessory/Toy
A voodoo-hoodoo trick of Felix Faust's from his first appearance, he used finger puppets of the Justice League to make them do his bidding. A memorable cover, it made me wonder if anyone had tried to cosplay it or make their own JLA finger puppets. The closest, and it's not really a Faust reference, is this crocheted effort from Craftster user shmac, though Google will readily show you more superhero "yarns".
DC has also made a facsimile in the 3rd issue of the all-ages DC Super Friends, which reprised the Felix Faust story:
All you have to do is cut up your precious comic to get a paper Justice Leaguer to wrap around your fingers. Felix shows you how:
Had I any talent at all, I'd probably try to "dress up" as Felix Faust's hands next Halloween. But I don't.

Why they're just adorable! I have to admit that the original cover used to just freak me out.

Always found that JLA cover creepy.

So that's what the cover for Superior Squad #18 (can be found in Radioactive Man #100) was a reference to.

I'll point out that even the original cover is a redo of an earlier cover from the JSA's Golden Age run.

IS it? I know there's a similar (I wanna say Gil Kane?) cover from an anthology book (Sensation Comics) where a guy's got killers for fingers.

Here: I found an article that talks about how JLA would rip off 50s covers all the time: LINK
