    Default Will 1970s DC, Marvel & Charlton mystery comics be republished as anthologies?

    The highlight for me of DC's apparently discontinued DC Showcase Presents b+w TPBs were the editions of 'Ghosts', 'House Of Mystery", " House of Secrets", " Secrets of the Sinister House " and a few others. That was the only time I ever saw extensive compilations of the DC mystery comics I grew up reading in the 1970s. With the Showcase books being kaput- is there any new plan to reissue the 1970s DC ( and Marvel) mystery titles in complete anthology form ( and in color)? There is an audience that would read it. I'd also love to see the many 1970s Marvel and Charlton mystery comics be republished. 1970s mystery comics were immensely popular at the time but seems to have been forgotten.

    There is already a House of Secrets Bronze Age omnibus, a Swamp Thing Bronze Age omnibus, and a House of Mystery Bronze Age omnibus coming in January.

    No problem. Also, if you're unfamiliar, you can probably get them cheaper at instocktrades, at least if you're in the U.S. It's where many of us order these types of books.

    Any word of the Marvel or Charlton mystery comics of the 1970s will be reprinted in anthology form?

    Can't say on the Charlton stuff, I'm not sure who, if anyone, currently has the publishing rights. I'm also not sure if Marvel has published anything in the past in their various forms of collected editions, Marvel Masterworks, Essentials, etc. I don't think anything is currently planned, but you never know for sure. Every once in a while they announce something out of left field. For example, last year they released two Stan Lee/Larry Lieber/Jack Kirby Monsters omnibus' if you're into those types of comics. There is a Tomb of Dracula omnibus reprint coming in October as well. Dark Horse has published a ton of EC Archives, Eerie Archives, Creepy Archives, etc.

    If you're still looking for more info and nobody else chimes in here, there is another forum website, I don't have the exact name or link, but google "marvel masterworks fansite forum" and you should find it. There's probably a lot of people more familiar with this stuff that could help if you're looking for something particular.
