Golden age titles?

[babyblob]

I am looking for a list of golden age tittles from Dc. I would like to know more about what came out in the 40s and read up on them. With a focus on JSA and their members.

Thanks for all the help.

I'd add Comic Cavalcade to that list as it featured some nifty stories featuring the Golden Age Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern. DC published a lovely Archive edition a decade or so back that presents the first three-four issues.

New Fun/More Fun Comics (1935)

DC's first title, MORE FUN started featuring superheroes on its covers beginning with issue #52 in 1940 with the SPECTRE. Four issues later we would see DOCTOR FATE on the cover. It would be one or the other till 1942 when GREEN ARROW & SPEEDY made their first cover appearance. At the end of that year we'd see JOHNNY QUICK on the cover. Then it would be one or the other of them until 1945, when humor features began coming back. Later that year it would be SUPERBOY on the cover. But that wouldn't happen very often as it was becoming mainly a humor book until its cancellation with issue #127 in 1947.

New Comics/New Adventure Comics/Adventure Comics (1935)

DC's second title ADVENTURE would start featuring superheroes on its covers in 1939 with SANDMAN, followed by HOURMAN in 1940, STARMAN in 1941 and MANHUNTER in 1942. Then in 1946 SUPERBOY would take over cover duties where he'd remain throughout the rest of the era.

New Comics/New Adventure Comics/Adventure Comics (1935).

While we are discussing Adventure, would suggesting Sandman Mystery Theatre help the OP? That basically takes the original Sandman strips and expands them. It is still kept in the late 1930s and 1940s. Just told with a modern feel. So it might be perfect if they've never read Golden Age stuff before.

Detective Comics (1937)

While the CRIMSON AVENGER would get a couple covers of DC's third title beginning in 1938, BATMAN would soon take over beginning in 1939.

Action Comics (1938)

ZATARA made a couple covers early on but obviously...SUPERMAN.
