Hawkman has some beautiful Murphy Anderson artwork. I love them!

[@JuanTorres-zp2ij]

Don’t forget the best one Inferior five!! Great video!!

[@michaelsaia997]

You got me on the Sea Devils! Some of the covers are the coolest art out there. I have quite a few in VF condition and upgrade them whenever I can.

[@jesseduran7353]

That sea-devils art is fantastic...need to start scouting for those.

[@juliusfrauenglass2411]

The stories are not bad either but as with most 2nd tier Dc books it slipped from public attention and in an age where most kids probably had a low budget for buying comic books they were a last or second to last choice sometimes picked up if a higher choice was sold out.

[@rynoman190]

I’m one of the few who loved Metal Men

[@zoso73]

I think there are more than a few of us. And guaranteed James Gunn will do a Metal Men movie. He likes esoteric + cool. That equals Metal Men.

[@davidknight2423]

I really loved the later Walt Simonson issues. I think the early issues and the later issues were the best. There was a lot of wandering around creatively in the middle.

[@lisafaltersack5535]

i am doing metal men. Another collection i also never see mentioned in talks is deadman.

[@MelissaLovesComicBooks]

Metal Men was one of DC's best-selling titles when it came out.

[@BrianDriscoll-h9e]

I've been slowly picking up a Metal Men run over the last few years. The book was insanely fun.

[@JoeReedy-xt3hc]

I used to read both Challengers and Metal Men and I remember them both at being quite entertaining. When the series stopped I felt empty, as if both were real. Funny how you feel things as a little kid.

[@gorgeousgeorge5173]

Surprised about Metal Men, they're great!

[@christiantormodsen9044]

I think there are still a good amount of metal men fans out there but I think this list is spot on.

[@cullenn2100]

You're naming all my favorite stuff to dig for. Especially tye Charlton stuff. Add this to you mentioning you put foreign comics in the cheapo bins... I might have to make the trek up to Jerz

[@edwinprice8880]

I most definitely collect Metal Men from Showcase to series final issue #56. Ross Andru/Mike Esposito art in silver age is fantastic. Great characters!

[@LeadPaint1]

SSSsshhhhhh!! I either have completed, or I'm actively collecting, all of these except the Charlton titles as I am a reader foremost. Back before the internet/Ebay/etc., it was virtually impossible to compile large runs of these titles by hunting in the wild or conventions. Maybe that has something to do with their desirability even today. Out of sight, out of mind. The title which is difficult, even with the internet, for me has been My Greatest Adventure. That one is a challenge.....wowzer. I'm sometimes in disbelief that some of those issues even exist in any condition other than "run over by a truck", if you can find a copy at all. I'm also putting together the DC war titles and the Marvel western titles. The difficulty with those is the sheer number of issues, along with condition.

[@LKaramazov]

I LOVE Metal Men!

[@vashharlock5872]

I collect all of these titles when I can find them MH. I don't have much income at the moment, so everything is on hiatus. A fantastic list. All of these books are underrated in my opinion.

[@edcrayzys3853]

Sea devils is Russ Heath covers, he also is credited with doing the comics in playboy for about 20 years. Russ heath also made the advertisement in almost every silver age comic of the army men you can buy which ended up being 2D and no kid liked it, and Russ was unhappy with it, but he was paid 50 dollars for each different type of toys they sold. So he made a few hundred dollars total.

[@ActualDracula237]

I collect Sea Devils, so many incredible covers in that series.

[@DpopsComicStop]

Great list. I enjoyed Metal men as a kid, because they were featured in several Brave and Bold issues. But, like yourself, I've always been amazed that Challengers of the Unknown went for more than 80 issues and I've never heard of anyone buying them and I very rarely see them, especially in grade

[@jmourgos55]

I love the Charlton Ditko covers and yes I have collected Atom and Hawkman, still have several issues, Murphy Anderson is tops! And Kirby's Challengers of the Unknown, Wow!

[@GrungeMadman]

I don't think i've ever even come across any of these runs in my bin diving journey but there are some pretty cool ones on this list!

[@kentleader]

Metal Men, Sea Devils and Challengers were all big favorites growing up. Especially when they did team ups/crossovers.

[@ArturoRodriguez-dz5se]

I do have a complete run of SHOWCASE ,also several issues of HAWKMAN , THE ATOM , RIP HUNTER , CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN ,SEA DEVILS and METAL MEN

[@noozienomore]

First time viewer/retired television journalist here. You do a very good job, sir. I bought many of these in my yout (as in "two youts"), but I can't say I was a collector of any. A favorite of mine perhaps would have made your list had it been a bit longer...Silver Age Spectre. One quick question for you. Atom and Hawkman made the list separately... but no mention of the 7-issue run of "The Atom & Hawkman" in '68 and '69? Finally, one comment about another title. What made Metal Men really fun was the sarcasm-infused humor missing from almost all other DC titles at the time.

[@bobbuethe1477]

"The Atom & Hawkman" was a continuation of the numbering of "The Atom." Hawkman's title was cancelled and Atom's was changed into a combination book, which alternated full-length team-ups with separate stories of the two heroes.

[@noozienomore]

@@bobbuethe1477 Of course. So don't you think it would have been worth a brief mention?

[@bobbuethe1477]

@@noozienomore Absolutely. I was just pointing out that some collectors consider it a continuation of "The Atom" rather than a separate title. (At least, that's how I sort it in my collection.) But it should have been mentioned.

[@Chiparus1981]

I collect high grade Sea devils. 9.4/9.6. And also Showcase in 7.5 or better. Great video.

[@JamesThomas-kq6oj]

I think I might start collecting the Atom and Hawkman since there run aren't that long and the over all art is really Good!

[@RichardKeegan-m5l]

I have complete runs of Metal Men and Sea Devils - both very enjoyable books for different reasons. Metal Men was pretty educational as to the chemical properties of the various elements, along with being fairly humorous. Sea Devils was just a pure joy to behold - the Russ Heath underwater art is magnificent. And they're both quite charming...

[@ascorvinus]

What comic collector wouldn’t love a full run of Showcase? It’s out of reach for most of us. I have a few, but my favorite is 79, with that gorgeous Jay Scott Pike cover. Take that, Sea Devils!

[@tonymcnaulty8301]

Great video as usual!! I would love any of those early books. The art is so impressive.

I collect Sea Devils, love the graytone covers.

[@thatonekid-gy2kt]

Man, Tomahawk is an awesome series just including the historical significance, not even considering the cool artwork. I also love any monster cover in an older book. Hawkman to me is an odd character. He shouldn't work, he should be really goofy, cheesy, silly, etc, but he somehow manages to be totally awesome. Charlton is such an underrated company, they brought us characters so good that they inspired Watchmen characters. Rorschach being a dark parody of The Question will always be cool to me.

[@thurstonfaulkner4]

Hey, a really good video that I haven't seen done before. Very interesting, thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barrymilavetz9793]

I was just considering putting a run of metal men together. I really enjoyed seeing them in the recent plastic man series.

[@literallyunderrated]

I get the feeling that its because collectors have different goals nowadays. They don’t really want to finish sets but rather get “keys” that they see as an investment. Personally I think its fun finishing a run and its a lot easier now than it was in the pre internet days

[@eblanco7605]

Agreed. Lately, most people collect just the keys, not the run. Same with sport cards. Just the rookies and hits.

[@thecorporatelawgroup7093]

They ask if one is a completist or a key collector. I’m both; full runs but keys graded.

[@David-xf2uh]

I went on a hunt for ALL the original Metal Men comic books and now have a complete run including the 4 Showcase ones! I love them ever since #21 was the first superhero comic book I ever read! It was one of the most fun things I ever did was to find them all on eBay in whatever grades were available cheap!

[@davidknight2423]

Did you get the DC digest of Metal Men from the early '80s? A lot of those digest format issues reprinted some great Gold and Silver Age stuff. Kind of like the '70s 100 Page Spectaculars.

[@charliedogg7683]

The Silver Age Hawkman and Atom runs have been on my list for ages precisely because they are relatively short runs and most issues are reasonably priced for higher-grade copies. It's the same with Sea Devils.

[@josheads724]

I bought the DC Showcase Presents b&w Challengers collection on a whim from my local HPB, and it's a lot of fun. Lots of cool creature art. I would definitely grab any issue that I came across in the wild

[@AtomicTomLV]

I’ve been picking up some issues of Rip Hunter lately for my nephew because he really likes the covers. They are pretty cool reads too. The Sea Devils books look awesome. I’m going to have to keep an eye out for those as well now.

[@donaldmiller9648]

Had complete Atom (Showcase and regular series) and all the Hawkman but only one Brave and Bold years ago. Only still have a few as sold off.. hardly ever saw Challengers of Unknown or Rip Hunter copies when looking but Metal Men were available years ago. You are right, Sea Devils had wild cover art.

[@PatrickMaliha]

It’s so funny that you mention comics like Hawkman, The Atom, Rip Hunter, Metal Men, etc. Because ALL of those books have been rebooted/pushed SO many times. And, EVERY time the comics bomb and get cancelled. Personally, I think it’s because there’s nothing about those characters for most people to latch onto. BUT, each of those characters has fanatics who LOVE them. It’s just the people who love them are few and far between. They’re like Gorgonzola cheese. Most people hate it. But, those who love it, LOVE it

[@justicierodelaliga]

With Atom, DC barely gives his a chance. His original series wasn´t that long. The one that came after (Sword of the Atom) and the only one that truly made use of his subatomic powers (if just to make him live on an undiscovered world) lasted even less. Not sure if it was only meant to be a mini series. ...and by the time he came back they decided to create a legacy character. Has for Hawkman with the Venditti series it proved how great it can be. Basically an Indiana Jones character. ...heck, even the New 52 take (turning him basically into Wolverine) was fun as well.

[@daveharvey9296]

I got the full run of Show Case including the keys. I have them since the 1980 when they were cheap.

[@Nyarlahotep]

My FIL loves Metal Men. A few years ago I went through his collection and helped fill the gaps which included the first appearance. To be honest I hadn't heard of them before he showed me his comics 😂

[@dereksmith3795]

Definitely pick up the 12 cent Charleton titles when I find them. Love the art and stories. Another is Metal Men and Showcase books. An honorable mention is my greatest adventure/Doom Patrol.

[@Duqsteel1115]

I’d love to collect classic Hawkman and The Atom. I’m a big fan of classic DC heroes. Now that I am starting to turn away from modern books, those two may be towards the top of my list to collect.

[@ShogunZIlla]

Daaaaamn those Sea Devils covers though!!

[@markleneker9923]

The Sea Devil covers are some of the shining lights of Silver Age art. Anyone who has a respectable full run of DC Showcase is either very rich, or been a great trader, lucky or all of these.

[@PaulSaether]

Even if you had a full run of Showcase that you bought for cover price when they came out you would not still have them unless you were very rich! You could sell a high grade run for a fortune, buy everything in archive/Omnibus Editions and buy a nice house and take a round the world cruise. So you WOULD sell them unless you were very rich. I've often wondered if Paul McCartney has a collection. He had Silver Age DCs on his piano in HELP (Or maybe HARD DAY's NIGHT) Met Stan LEE and wrote a song about MAGNETO AND THE TITANIUM MAN, and he loved RUPERT THE BEAR so much that he wrote a song and made a video about THE FROG CHORUS (And met Alfred Bestall). I'm sure Macca loved BEANO, DANDY, LION and EAGLE comics too. Hope he somehow gets to read this comment and sends me an invite to spend a few days in his comic library if he does have one!

[@nivekwons7545]

I'd probably try and get the Rip Hunter run. Those sound like they'd be fun!

[@spaceknight793]

Inspired to finish my Silver Age Atom and Hawkman runs. I have about half of them. At $5-15 each, I might go ahead and pick up the rest of them.

[@ConSarolas]

I have all these runs on my wantlist. I pick them up once in a while.

[@martinmaenza5513]

As a kid of the 70’s, I was all in on the Showcase relaunch. The Doom Patrol, Power Girl and Hawkman trios were a lot of fun. And 100 was a blast too. At one point I did dip backwards to those three Night Master, three Forehairs, three Manhunter 2020 and even the one Johnny Double issue. That’s as far back as I went.

[@sdeloria2003]

I picked up Challengers of the Unknown #3 & 4 (1958) a few months ago, for $1.11 each! I had no idea what it was. Imagine my surprise when DC released the #1 issue of a new Challengers series just a few weeks ago.

[@melvinp1485]

There are no real comic shops anywhere near me so I have been collecting lots of older comics once they get put into Omnibus or other collected editions. I had both Hawkman & Atom in the old b&w Showcase Presents books but sadly gave them away a while back as I hoped DC would release colour omnibuses. If Hawkman, Atom, Sea Devils, Challengers or Metal Men came out in collected editions I would grab them. I would also like to see the original Inferior Five and more for my small collection of The Mighty Crusaders from MLJ/Archie/Red Circle. I live in hope.

[@alyssajolie]

I’ve always thought it was odd that Hawkman isn’t more popular. Personally, I love grabbing old issues!

[@mikehunt1924]

With the exception of Showcase this is legit a list of the titles I've been collecting the past few years (in addition to Adam Strange, Cave Carson, Aquaman, and a few others). Still need a Space Adventures 34 to finish up the Charlton action heroes line and Challengers 18 and 25. None of these were easy to find or build runs of btw. This era of DC ALWAYS has detached staples and the Charlton books fox and tan like crazy.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

There’s rare and then there’s RARE of another kind and the people who collect and read these buried gems go to the head of the class. Hooray to James for consistently showcasing (get it?)

I don't "collect" these titles per se, but they're all titles I like to read! Also, I suspect that there's not many people trying to collect The Inferior Five, another series that got started in Showcase. But really, their first Showcase appearance (#62, I think) is just great stuff!

[@acegoodheart9590]

Here's a kick in the head, I actually have the full run of Rip Hunter that I collected when I was a kid, including the 4 Showcase appearances.

This was back when I first started collecting and discovered that it was actually possible to buy back issues. Not much value other than nostalgia.

Someone I knew when I was 13 had a Hawkman index book. Every time somebody mentioned a valuable comic, he would always bring up that he had a Hawkman index. If you showed him another comic book he wanted, he would always say, “I’ll trade you my Hawkman index for that.” For some reason, he thought it was so valuable. To this day whenever I see him, I always say, “Did you ever sell that Hawkman index?”

The Charlton heroes I see collected fairly often, it's the Charlton horror and science fiction that I never see completed runs for.

It's hard. With all the Charltons I have had as a kid to start with, I have spent the last fifteen years additionally picking up as many as I can while hunting for all the other issues I'm collecting for runs of DC and Marvel. I'm literally about 20 comics away from having all the horror Charlton comics. It's slowed the hunt down because it's getting more costly.

This is SUCH a wonfderful video James. You know what's funny? As a CHILD (I'm 57, so were talking back when i was 11) I actually liked- and collected- BOTH Hawkman AND The Atom-- even though there was no "reason" to lump them together. I MYSELF however- for whatever reason--lumped them together! Maybe it had to do with the fact that they both kind of came on the Silver Age scene around the same time, or possibly it was because they just "felt" like kindered spirits for whatever reason but yeah: I bought Hawkman # 1 as a 12-year old and The Atom # 5 at the same time. 40m years later I sent them to CGC and after a C & P, Hawkman 1 came back a 6.0 and The Atom 5b came back a 7.0! With all the moving around I did and with how (relatively) poorly those books were treated (back before I knew anything about "protection"- at least in the COMIC BOOK SENSE lol) it was/is a minor miracle that they managed to make to back, slabbed, in those respectable grades. Anyway they're firmly in my PC, and now thanks to YOU (Damn you James), I am checking/searching for more of these books... See what you started?!? Seriously though- THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. Man was THAT a fun vid to watch. Great work brother! Hey man last question: how old are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm just curious because you know SO MUCH about SA comics and yet if I had to guess, you were likely BORN in the 80s (which makes it all the more impressive. I'm not saying that you have to be FROM an era in order to talk about it, it's just always great to see younger people into the books that were the staple of my Bronze Age childhood. I was surrounded by comics from the 60s- which for me was simply "last decade"- whereas for you it must've seemed like "That's when dinosaurs walked the earth"). Anyhoo, once again big up to you and your channel- and i can't wait to drop into your store someday soon.

Hi Mint Hunter, thanks for this. I noticed that with the exception of Metal Men, all of these great titles can be purchased in the black and white, Showcase Presents soft cover collections.

I collect the Charlton Comics horror titles. They're not as well written as the silver age DC horror stuff. But they have great horror artwork.

[@davidknight2423]

Steve Ditko, Tom Sutton, Pete Morisi, and Sanho Kim, are the main four I think, though later on there was a few Joe Staton, then some Rich Larsen and Mike Zeck. Great stuff! I have two long boxes full of Charlton comics myself. Most are 7-8, maybe a couple dozen are 4-5s just to fill runs until I can upgrade them. I have a few with double covers too! Mostly horror, but a lot of Captain Atom and Space adventures. I have some western stuff but I think the best were Cheyenne Kid and Geronimo Jones.
