Set Description
This is the last of the DC Big 5. DC acquired the character and title trademarks from Quality Comics in 1956 and published its first issue, #44, in January 1957. I have gathered all but about 10% of this set over the years and started grading them in early 2014. Even the newer issues are becoming more difficult (and expensive) to find in the higher grades. Some that I collected are lower grades, so I'm not rushing them to CGC while hoping to find better copies.
One of the reasons I collected this series is that this is probably one of the first comics I read as a kid. I started around issue 95 I think at roughly 7 or 8 years old. My older brother is the one who had the comics and shared them with me.
I particularly enjoy the grey tone covers between #75 and #119. Their use of unusual and bright background colors gives the books a unique look. Often you find no dialogue bubbles or subtitle blocks which give them a cleaner appearance.
