DC FINEST Graphic NOVELS - Part 1 - First RELEASES + A LOOK Ahead - BATMAN - Flash - SUPERMAN

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

I really love those early SUPERMAN stories because he’s such a smart ass and often wields his powers just because he can. He has no patience for any criminals and often lets them have it just on convenient principle. Of course later they cleaned him up and made him more righteous and responsible, but this era where he’s a wild rogue agent is really interesting and more like 80’s Batman. The first issues of THE SPECTRE are the same and I hope those come out in this epic FINEST series. I think by default kids were just tougher in that era than they became after the war. Then the Code was imposed and comics really went off the deep end with being condescending. Great look at this new series, my friend! Keep ‘em coming!

Thanks Glen, great points there about these early Superman adventures. I've finished the book now and although a tad predicable, they were great fun. Most of the books I've never read before so really enjoyed the new (to me) ones. I'm sure some Spectre will come in due course.

I have just finished Batman Y1&2 and I thought it was fantastic. Hoping to get Justice Society for xmas. According to those who have mapped the volumes , it could easily be 40 volumes for just the golden age of Superman.

It's true, I'm definitely going to be selective. That's why I have skipped the Wonder Woman GN for now. I'll pick up pretty much all the silver age ones though and the best of what came later. I too have a few I'm hoping for as presents 🙂

I can't wait for the July Wonder Woman The Legend of Wonder Woman book! It's the first time the Don Heck run will be published!! I still have my comics from this run. It takes the books right to 329, which was the last issue of the first run of Wonder Woman and the Crisis tie in. The 4 part mini series I was never a huge fan of. It felt like filler books, which they were really, until Perez began his 1987 run with the second series.

The colours seem way too neon. The original comics have a pleasing pastel look, partially because of the news print paper used at the time. Batman Year One appears to have been re-coloured too, a bit of an insult to Richmond Lewis the original colourist.

I suspect they are all recoloured. Standard practice these days.👍
