Some DC's I've added since this thread started.

A rare book with an obscure Solomon Grundy story that doesn't fit into the continuity with Showcase 54.

Good Golly that Action 23 is one good looking book.

So my favourite early DC character is Hourman, and unfortunately the majority of his stories have never been reprinted in any form (the JSA archives only cover small set of stories early on, from #48-52). I prefer to buy TPBs for repeated reading (and before that I buy digital copies to read first to see what I like) and only ever buy single issues for display on my collection.

So what is my solution if DC has never, ever printed anything for Hourman? Easy, I make and print my own trade paperback. BOOM!

I assembled my favourite seven stories, and one of which technically was never printed in this way (it was a series of panels from another DC graphic novel - so I cut and assembled all those sequences that featured him and stitched them together so it was a complete Housman-Only story). The story to inspire me to do this was from Adventure Comics #65, which I love (robots! invisibility! dog fight! throwing acid on everyone!) but was never reprinted anywhere - ever - so if I wanted to read that I would have to constantly handle the original comic or read online (meh)

Not for resale (obviously) and only two copies were printed/bound (always do an extra in case the bleed trimming goes wrong or there is an assembly issues).

Amazing. So maybe it was Luthor who released the animals from the city zoo!

Maybe they overlayed those comics in the office and got the idea for the JSA! Although how were Hourman and Sandman part of the All American line if they appeared in a DC Anthology title?
