Never gave that a thought. Good call. Love the bronze age DC horror.

 

Did DC ever do any War book Showcases?

Yes, they did.

[nickwire]

i'd go with war/horror/western over hero. i dunno, but the hero books never worked for me in b/w. by far the best i have are the House of mystery and Jonah Hex books. in my opinion, they just work better in b/w

[Bio-Rupp]

As me and BoosterGold have discussed... they are great time passers for stuff like this....

 

 

[Jaded Savage]

Hoo boy. don't know if I have time to color these books.

 

Great suggestion on Jonah Hex.

[Dbrewer75]

Yeah there are issues with the binding on some of them which is fine if you get them cheap enough

My Haul.

 

Cable and internet was down for two hours on Sunday but I didn't care. Was able to finish Zombie and Jonah Hex during the down time.

 

Gonna go back and pick up some hero books in the near future. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I had an X-Men (Uncanny X-men Vol. 3 i think) when i was a kid and went to town on that thing with my crayons. Ah, memories.

 

 

Great haul. Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do.

Let me know how the Monster of Frankenstein one is.

[That Ron Dude]

I waded through Godzilla. I managed to finish it but it wasn't much more interesting than standing in line at the check-out.

I wonder which ones will be most enjoyable?

I suspect the Tomb of Dracula`s will be the best.

[Shadow]

Tomb of Dracula got monotonous for me. Seemed like the same thing over and over.

 

I thought the HOM's series translated the best to the Showcase format. (B&W)

I agree. I really wanted to love the superhero books but just couldn't get into them in B&W.

[Ken Aldred]

DC Showcases...

 

I recommend the Jonah Hex Showcase most of all.The character is well-defined very early on in the run, consistently strong stories from Albano and Fleisher, and great artwork.  

 

I also really enjoyed the Kanigher/Kubert Sgt. Rock material.

 

The horror books - some great artistic highlights, but patchy quality overall. HOM possibly the best.
