Great Frog is such an accurate indie band name. I feel like the writers were trying to come up with a really silly name and maybe it was actually ridiculous for the time but this could be the name of a local band from my midwestern hometown 100%

One of a number of new (and generally underwhelming) DC titles of the mid-seventies, KOBRA ran seven issues, and featured six different art teams.
The book was based on an original concept by Jack Kirby (who drew an unused first issue). Martin Pasko reworked the unused Kirby issue with Pablo Marcos, and went from there.
KOBRA 1: Art by Jack Kirby, Pablo Marcos and D. Bruce Berry.
KOBRA 2: Art by Chic Stone and Pablo Marcos.
KOBRA 3: Art by Keith Giffen, Terry Austin and Dick Giordano.
KOBRA 4: Art by Pat Gabriele and Lowell Anderson
KOBRA 5: Art by Rich Buckler and Frank McLaughlin.
KOBRA 6: Art by Mike Nasser and Joe Rubinstein
KOBRA 7: Art by Mike Nasser and Joe Rubinstein.

From Detective Comics #569, the first issue of the seminal, if far too short Mike W Barr / Alan Davis Detective Comcis run back in 1986
Let's here it for "Straight Line", the hardest working henchman in Gotham City.
He may not look like much, he's not the biggest, or the stringest, but he knows how the game is played.
Straight Line knows that when you work for the Joker, the only way to break your overly-dramatic criminal artist (with casually homicidal tendencies) of a boss out of one of his dangerously depressive funks, is by outdoing him with the dramatics, whilst simultaneously NOT outdoing him with the dramatics (no one upstages the Joker). It's a fine line, but he walks it well, and the rest of the henchmen LOVE him for it.
And to me, this is perhaps THE last gasp of the "old school" Joker in the comics. Still primarily a "criminal first, killer second" character, who will plan complicated, themed heists (With henchmen with appropriate nicknames) to make sure people remember he's the Joker, and to fund his lifestyle, but money is not the point. The point is to be known as the Joker and to confound Batman.
So, though Batman, Robin and anyone who gets in his way are definitely fair game, he doesn't see the point in killing bystanders for no reason, because who will remember THEM? Plus who will remember that he's the Joker if they're dead?

The Silver Age-version of the Legion of Substitute Heroes. The artist is unknown to me, but that looks like a Jack Abel ink job.
Polar Boy, leader of the Subs, would later go on to becoming a full-fledged member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
