The Best of Adam Strange stories.
Volume 3 of the Adam Strange stories contains the best group of stories. The story I have always like best is "World War on Earth and Rann." One of the coolest benefits about Adam Strange stories is the real scientific knowledge that is embedded in the story -- ideas such as Roche's Limit and the Curie Temperature of materials. I actually used that knowledge about Curie temperature once in a ...

The definition of Heroic
Simply put, any of the Silver Age volumes in DC Comics Showcase and Marvel's Essentials are better crafted, and more fun than the current kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out software those companies now publish. Buy Green Lantern. Buy Adam Strange. Buy Batman. Buy the Elongated Man. Buy Antman. Buy The Fantastic Four. Buy Ironman. Buy Daredevil. Heck. Buy Haunted Tank and Man-thing! It ...

A NEW BATMAN FOR THE 60'S!
Amazingly enough Showcase Presents Batman vol. one is the first time DC is collecting Batman's Silver Age adventures in the Showcase series (unless you count the Brave and the Bold). This volume features Detective Comics #327-342 and Batman #164-174! The reason why this particular period was chosen is because longtime DC editor Julie Schwartz had take oven the titles and did a long overdue ...

Train Wreck in Slow Motion
Like Showcase Presents Hawkman: Volume 1, Showcase Presents Hawkman: Volume 2 nicely chronicles the Silver Age Hawkman through the short life of the series. Not only does it contain the stories from the Hawkman series itself, but it also includes cross-over stories from the Atom and The Brave and the Bold. To get all of these stories, albeit in a black-and-white TPB, for $16.99 is a real bargin ...

Great Memories for aging 'baby boomers'
Are you a 'greying baby boomer'? Did you grow up waiting at the local 7-11 for the latest issues of your favorite comic heroes to hit the stands? Do you regret having tossed out all of your old comic books? Remember the days of the 12-cent comic book? If you answered yes to more than one of the above, this book and the series it's part of is for you. I grew up in the sixties, during the ...

Golden Age Doctor Fate: Archives - Volume 1 (Archive Editions (Graphic Novels))

Gardner Fox, Howard Sherman

DC Comics, 2007

A very handsome volume
The long delayed Golden Age Doctor Fate is finally out. It's a very handsome volume that's been worth the wait. This one has a higher price point than most of the other DC Archive Editions, but that's only because it's got a much higher page count. Almost like getting 2 books instead of one. Comparing the content to some of the other Archive Editions; this volume is pretty solid. The artwork ...

Cheese-tastic greatness
My God, DC silver age comics were goofy. If you LOVE the Superfriends, then this is for you. I mean, if you love the fact that every villain in the universe had some Krytonite, some yellow lasers to zap Green Lantern with, and a Bic lighter to get Martian Manhunter- then this is AWESOME! The stories are so absurd that you have to suspend all disbelief and just enjoy the comedy of it. This is ...

DC Comics, 2007

Some of the "World's Finest" stories are presented here
Most of these stories were drawn by Dick Sprang and Stan Kaye and feature some of the best art of the era in between the Golden Age and the Silver Age. The Club of Heroes is an exceptional story with a great sense of wonder and mystery in a few simple pages, The solution is far-fetched by today's standards, but I was 7 at the time, and it was wonderful storytelling. I also enjoyed the story of ...

Showcase Presents: The Atom, Vol. 1

Gardner Fox, Gil Kane

DC Comics, 2007

Great stories from the Silver Age
The fourth of Julie Schwartz's Silver Age revivals had the most radical change from his Golden Age counterpart. Ray Palmer could actually shrink to the size of an Atom. Many of the stories were clearly inspired by a cover image -- The Atom trapped inside a light blub, stuck to car tire, being launched from a slingshot -- but they were always entertaining. Like all the SHWOCASE volumes, this one ...

DC Comics, 1997

Classic tales of teamwork, friendship, and justice
I held off buying the DC Archive editions for years because of the hefty price. Then I bought a couple used and I saw that they are worth every penny. At least they are worth it if you grew up with these titles. It was amazing how many of these stories (and specific panels) that I personally remembered after nearly 50 years. Volume two contains stories originally published in Justice League of ...

Gardner Fox, Mike Sekowsky

DC Comics, 2002

A Must-Get!
In the 1930s and 40s, superheroes were in their "Golden Age," back when Superman had more human proportions and the Justice Society of America had its birth. In the 1950s, the Silver Age of comic book heroes dawned, and a new batch of heroes was born, along with the Justice League of America. In 1961, in FLASH #123, the Silver Age Flash (Barry Allen) met the Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick), and ...

DC Comics, 2005

Suprisingly unique Golden Age stories.
In the 1990s, one of the comics that routinely found its way to the top of my reading pile was "Sandman Mystery Theatre", published by DC Comics under its mature-readers "Vertigo" imprint. In this series, writer Matt Wagner (later joined by Steven T. Seagle) and artist (most of the time) Guy Davis took one of the lower tier golden age super-heroes, Wesley Dodds, the Sandman, and re-wrote his ...

Gardner Fox

DC Comics, 2007

Great stories geares to a more adult audience
I've picked up about a half a dozen of these b&w Marvel and DC reprints and Adam Strange is the best one so far. Strange is a more down-to-earth (or down-to-Rann, I guess) character. He has no super power and doesn't make clever or lame quips as he k.o.'s the bad guys. He behaves much like you or I would react to a problem, which makes it easier to identify with the hero. Every story is a very ...
