Any DC material written by Gardner Fox or John Broome is well worth having -- for those of you who don't already know that.

I couldn't agree with you more, Aldous. I just wish I could afford to get them all.

CRISIS ON MULTIPLE EARTHS: THE TEAM-UPS VOL. 1 sure caught my attention.  I was expecting Volume 4 of the JLA/JSA team-ups this year, but these other early Silver Age team-ups are a great alternative! For anyone who's interested, here are links to the covers of the original comics at the Grand Comics Database (http://www.comics.org):
The Brave and the Bold #61 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1098/400/1098_4_061.jpg)
The Flash #123 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1428/400/1428_4_123.jpg)
The Flash #129 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1428/400/1428_4_129.jpg)
The Flash #137 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1428/400/1428_4_137.jpg)
The Flash #151 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1428/400/1428_4_151.jpg)
Green Lantern #40 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1448/400/1448_4_040.jpg)
Showcase #55 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1194/400/1194_4_55.jpg)
Showcase #56 (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1194/400/1194_4_56.jpg)

I've got reprints of about half of these, but I'm looking forward to reading the others. Green Lantern #40 is a particular favorite of mine.

Interestingly, The Brave and the Bold #61 and Showcase #55-56 are not multiple Earth stories, but they were early Silver Age stories that featured Earth-Two. I'm glad they included them.

Hi,

It seems that every time that Dc brings out tpbs they reprint a lot of reprints...
