[Aldous]

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 only listed the ones I thought people here would like or at least that I would like to buy

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:
The Brave and the Bold #61
The Flash #123
The Flash #129
The Flash #137
The Flash #151
Green Lantern #40
Showcase #55
Showcase #56

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...
