Golden Age Sandman (Wesley Dodds) Appreciation (2019)

[MajorHoy]

NOTE: This is a continuation of the previous "Golden Age Sandman Appreciation Thread", which can be read here:

From the original version of this thread (started in September of 2015):

Figured there should be an "appreciation thread" for Wes Dodds.

Whether you were introduced to him as the Golden Age character The Sandman through reprints of old stories or his appearances back in those annual JLA / JSA team-ups

or if you first read about him in the Vertigo series Sandman Mystery Theatre

this is the thread to discuss a classic character DC needs to bring back!

[MajorHoy]

The Golden Age Sandman never had an "origin story" back during the Golden Age, so in Secret Origins #7 (October 1986), Roy Thomas wrote one for Wes Dodds.





And, yes, the Lee Travis in those pages was the same guy who had taken the identity of The Crimson Avenger.

An appearance in The Spectre #55 (July 1997):

My favorite JSAer. He looks so damn cool in that suit. I hope he returns after Doomsday Clock with all the other golden age members.

One of my fave JSAers also, alongside Dr. Fate, Dr. Mid-Nite and original costume Atom.

I really need to get back and re-read (and finish) Sandman Mystery Theatre. One of the best titles DC ever put out.

I was/am a big fan of Wesley too, particularly in SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE (which I picked up after exposure to Wes in JSA) but has any more of that series been collected in trade? I have one trade but I can't remember if they've done more.
