Thanks, Owen. I knew I forgot a genre for DC to explore. Besides westerns, SF, horror, romance, and humor, there's detectives/cops/spys. The plain-clothes tough-guy, fighting in the wretched dens of scum and villainy at home and around the globe. I think I'd take Archives of this type of material over everything but humor and SF.

Me too. Bring it on. Six volumes? Who'd a' thunk it? IP: Logged |

I for one am amazed. I always considered Slam to be a minor character who had disappeared by the start of WWII. I know Siegel & Schuster created him, but who continued the art chores for all those years? IP: Logged |

Well, well, well. . . You know, I've only read the Slam Bangadventures from New York World's Fairand the two facsimile reprints of Detective Comics. I sort of liked the stories but never thought of it as a major series. The only weakness of the Archives program is that strong anthology strips like this one, Congo Bill, Biff Bronson, Golden Arrow, et al. will never get published. IP: Logged |

I notice that some of these stories have identical titles ("The Case of the Talking Dummy," "Shorty Grows Up," for example). "Talking Dummy" stories appear just two months apart. Are they linked? I can't imagine that they're reprints within the original run. Do you know what the links between stories, if any, are? IP: Logged |

With Slam appearing regularly in CATWOMAN right now, an Archives could be very interesting reading. IP: Logged |

You're kidding. Guess I have to check out Catwoman. That's not something I'd ever expected to do... IP: Logged |

As much as I'd like to see it done in 6, the page counts seem a bit hefty to me. I know DC likes them lighter if possible. At the expense of one more volume, here's my map (one of the first I did) that also includes his few modern appearances: Volume 1 (210 Pages): Detective Comics 1-15 Volume 2 (209 Pages): Detective Comics 16-29; World's Fair Comics 1939 Volume 3 (209 Pages): Detective Comics 30-49; World's Fair Comics 1940 Volume 4 (216 Pages): Detective Comics 50-73 Volume 5 (219 Pages): Detective Comics 74-99 Volume 6 (216 Pages) Detective Comics 100-124 Volume 7 (231 Pages): Detective Comics 128-152, 500, 572 And while we're in the Siegel/Shuster neighborhood, here's: Dr. Occult Radio Squad Volume 2 (224 Pages): More Fun Comics 56-87 and Spy Volume 2 (196 Pages): Detective Comics 32-59 Volume 3 (145 Pages): Detective Comics 60-77, 81-83 -Steve ------------------ IP: Logged |

Man, what happened? That got totally garbled. "You know, I've only read the Slam Bradley adventures from New York World's Fair and the two facsimile reprints of Detective Comics." IP: Logged |

quote: Slam Bradley had a 4-issue (I think) back-up in Detective before Catwoman restarted. I'm not sure of the actual issue numbers, but I think it has been/will be reprinted in the first Catwoman trade. If you, or anyone else, liked Scene of the Crime from Vertigo or Batman: Nine Lives, I think you would like both the Slam backup and the current Catwoman series. IP: Logged |

I've been sort of militantly ignoring everything Batman-related since all that nonsense where his back got broken, but maybe I'll check out some of the new stuff. IP: Logged |

quote: DC has done plenty of 240-page Archives. Also, it would be nice to have all the Siegel & Shuster stories in 2 volumes, and all of the later stories written by Siegel and drawn by artists other than Shuster in Vol. 3. IP: Logged |

I'm inclined toward srca's 7 volume solution rather than Owen's 6 volumes. Not because I want to spend an extra $50, but because it makes sense for DC. Less cost per volume up front means DC needs fewer volumes to sell to make money. Let's face it, these will never sell to the same degree as a "Batman Archives" or even "Golden Age Flash Archives". Keeping DC's costs down is the only way these books will ever see light. It's that, or they go to a higher price. IP: Logged |

OR... Get Frank Miller interested in the character and spin off from his best-selling graphic novel series into a huge blockbuster movie! no? never mind... IP: Logged |
