There was a discussion of whether to include the two Showcase team ups in a proposed volume 2 as I recall.

I can't find it in the old Archives threads.

Is the thread still up?

Does anyone still have a link/copy of the thread -- or at least the "maps"?

Thanks in advance

I think volume one covered

I thought it was yours.

I've been saving copies of these and I can't believe I didn't save the Dr. Fate one!!

I recall you reorganized both ways for Showcase.

Thanks for the initial research/hard work . . . and for the re-post.

My vote is that they go in both. After all, we can't assume that Dr. Fate fans are going to buy the Hourman Archives (if there ever is an Hourman Archives), nor should they be forced to. Each archive line should stand alone, not be abridged to another series.

I don't have this particular issue in front of me, and can't dig it up at short notice, but I seem to recall it WAS titled "The Hour Hourman Died". I also know it was reprinted in one of the early 1970s JLA issues, possibly one of the 100 page giants.
I would assume anybody who likes the forthcoming Spectre Archives, on an artistic level at least, would like an Hourman Archive, as both were drawn by the same artist - Bernard Baily, perhaps one of DC's better artists of the early 1940s.
