The Fatal Five two-parter was written by Shooter after DCs editor suggested to him doing something like The Dirty Dozen, a popular film of the time.

[@OmnidogsVault]

cool!!!

[@Katsudon305]

Not interested in a lot of golden age, silver age, and bronze age DC omnibus. But you have shown off some wonderful gems. The legion of super heroes and doom patrol have caught my eye. Thank you for the overview.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Thanks for watching! yeah these books are a bit of an acquired taste.

[@nashvillainz]

So wordy looking! Only OmniDog can get me interested in reading Golden and Silver age things! You are the chosen one. Will watch this later on today.

[@OmnidogsVault]

yeah, it's pretty darn wordy!! LOL

[@jonny9884]

Man, this one has now become my holy grail of DC Silver Age Omnibuses ! By the way, I still enjoy checking these older overviews you keep here on KZbin 😊

[@OmnidogsVault]

I'm glad you check these old ones out! I'll keep an eye out for this book. It got clearanced at Ollie's so I would think they'd be cheap in the US.

[@jonny9884]

@OmnidogsVault Oh, cool ! This Walt's Comic Shop in Germany, which supports Omar, had it on their website and for quite a bit more than originally listed because it was already OOP by then. But when I was able to eventually get it, using a discount code I had for them, there was trouble with the code for some reason. When that finally got all cleared up, someone had already bought the last copy. Volumes 1 & 3 seem easy enough to get over here, but I don't want to invest in those yet until I know I have Vol. 2. And your love of, and history with the Silver and Bronze Age of DC Comics is what drew me to you in the first place. That and your love of Root Beer, of course 🍺

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@jonny9884 haha nice! I still need to do overviews of SA Flash and Green Lantern

[@jonny9884]

@OmnidogsVault Why yes, yes, you do ! 😊

[@OmnidogsVault]

dude I'm so sorry - that volume 2 is going for insane prices here too! Really sorry about that

[@Oumpah-Pah]

I am a fan of golden and silver age and have both legion omnibuses. thank you for introducing these to the viewers!

[@OmnidogsVault]

My pleasure!! Any other GA or SA omni's you think people would like to see?

[@Oumpah-Pah]

@@OmnidogsVault maybe some "worlds finest', both supergirl omnis and flash omnibuses? not sure, it seems not too many are into the earlier stuff. personally I would love a review of the adam strange omnibus, as I am undecided if I need it in my life :)

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@Oumpah-Pah I can do overviews of all that stuff! I did do an overview of the most recent World's Finest, which you can find on my channel. Happy to do Adam Strange!! And Supergirl!

[@Oumpah-Pah]

@@OmnidogsVault that would be awesome! thank you :)

[@barrye5376]

Thanks - These Silver Age stories bring back childhood memories but they do not pretend to be anything other than fun - and for those too "Serious" younger generations Lighten Up! But realize the Silver Age only was there for a Brief Period in the late 50s and into the sixties although it seemed to be everything "and it was" in my childhood because there was nothing else - but these stories as you say are so much fun, so they do represent a period of lightheartedness that may never return so they are indeed classic. And really everyone needs to just relax with a fun atmosphere every now and then! Huh???

[@elliotwalton6159]

I will never grow tired of these stories, however nutty!

[@joechip8666]

I am into Bronze age comics but Golden and Silver age comics not so much. Videos like this one however make me want to give it a try but i am not sure where to start. I would love to see a video of your top ten favorite Golden / Silver age Omnibuses Omnidog.

[@OmnidogsVault]

I'll be able to do that when we get more Silver Age come out, thanks for the idea!

[@StillOnly25c]

Excellent

[@alancarnell2747]

Funny how the last story at the end of the video had The ghost of Ferro Lad. The first comic I bought myself was Superboy and the Legion 206. That one had the "ghosts" of Ferro Lad and Invisible Boy.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Whoa wait. Ferro Lad’s ghost comes BACK?! I don’t think I remember that! Thank you!!

[@alancarnell2747]

@@OmnidogsVault he's not technically a ghost although it's played that way. He's a clone and for some reason all clones of Legion members explode after 24 hours. The whole thing was a test to see if they didn't blow up. Made it back to the future but they blew up as soon as they landed and took out their time bubble. The second story involved Princess Projectra fighting giant space spiders. I was 7 and I got hooked right away. Just bought a Legion lot on eBay that included it and am patiently waiting for delivery. Very early Mike Grell art too. That issue had it all.

[@OmnidogsVault]

@@alancarnell2747 WOW!! I have to find those issues!!!

[@thatsabigdoor]

Eagerly awaiting your coverage of Vol 3. :)

[@OmnidogsVault]

ah ok, great idea!!

[@elliotwalton6159]

Hey! I was just looking at a box of comics that has some old Silver Age DC comics in it that I bought randomly just because they have the checker board banner which I remember as a kid, and the two Adventure comics I have are 352 and 353! I haven't read them, but will now!

[@jonny9884]

Well, you invited us to Comment. I was only going to get the Silver Age Flash Omnibus Vol. 1 for representing DC's Silver Age in hardcover Omnibus form, but after checking out a few of your overviews, I now hope to add the three Silver Age Legion of Superheroes Omnibus tomes, as well as the Silver Age Adam Strange Omnibus from DC too.

[@OmnidogsVault]

Those are some of my favorite books! I really hope you enjoy them!

[@072clyde]

Hi there. Do you know if DC intends to put out the Volume 3 and more? The material until 1975?

[@OmnidogsVault]

072clyde i know volume 3 just got announced for Spring 2020!

[@072clyde]

@@OmnidogsVault Thats great. I hope they can cover the material until mid 70s. Thanks.

[@072clyde]

Talking about the great Curt Swan, I dont know if DC will release an omnibus with his work with Superman. Here in Brazil they released one volume but with mid 70s stories. I d like to have the 50s and 60s material.

[@emsleywyatt3400]

Yes, Shooter's run was epic. But Hamilton does get a lot of credit too. That man's imagination was amazing.

[@WorldsinInk]

Jess do you have the Silver Age Omnibus of Justice League of America? I recently got Vol 1 and Vol 2, but their covers look so different from each other. Vol 1 doesn't say it's Silver Age. Bit confused by that.

[@dhmcadams662]

It's getting reprinted kinda like they did with sa flash 1, so the dust jackets will match

[@WorldsinInk]

@@dhmcadams662 Ah, that makes sense. I was worried I somehow missed out on something. These were on sale at a price that was too good to miss.

[@justenlayne9533]

Great video jess!! Could you possibly do an overview of the flash omnibus by manapul and buccellato? Or the flash silver age omnis?

[@t2comicbooksoverviews251]

love your overview vids,wordy comics dont bother me,as long the story is good

[@mcnoodlesthewolfAmericasbutt]

[@MollyIsAsMollyDoes]

Random comment which has nothing to do with this book - you should read The Smell of Starving Boys. Wonder if you'd like it or not.

[@blueg8731]

Something tellsme a lot of youngsters out there don't want to read so much :) Why is that anyway?
