    Default Which of These Silver Age Titles Would You Resurrect and Why?

    I'm starting where I left off. Which of these late Golden Age/Silver Age titles would you resurrect? Choose as many as you like. What would you do with them?

    With Houses of Mystery and Secrets, I'd create (heh...or 'have someone create') two anthology series of 'mini-series' with one set of creators telling a 4-6 issue story followed by another set of creators with a new story, dealing, respectively, with people caught up in a mystery, supernatural or 'detective', or themselves 'mysterious, and, similarly, dealing with secrets, people with secrets, the effect a secret has on those who share it. Congo Bill simply reflects my desire for more 'jungle comics'. And Lois Lane would be for a semi-political, semi-sociological series of investigative reporting by Lois Lane, take-no-shit reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, reflecting on situations current in the world today.
    Age/Bronze, Age/Reptiles, Alex&Ada, Anne Bonnie, Astro City, Bone, Briggs Land, Cerebus, Criminal, Courtney Crumrin, Eleanor & the Egret, Fables, Fatale, Fell, Grass Kings, Green Valley, Goon, Gotham Midnight, Groo, Hellboy, Hillbilly, Incognegro, Jack Staff, JL8, Jonah Hex, Kane, Lazarus, Little Nemo, Lone Wolf, Next Wave, Popeye, Powers, Princess Ugg, Resident Alien, SiP, Squirrel Girl, Stray Bullets, 10G, Thief of Thieves, Tuki, Uncle Scrooge, Usagi, Velvet

    As with the previous poll, I'd be happy with any of these titles coming back. And there's none that I'm more invested in than the others. But I decided to back all the mystery/horror/adventure anthologies (HOUSE OF MYSTERY and OF SECRETS, TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, MY GREATEST ADVENTURE) plus PHANTOM STRANGER and SEA DEVILS. I expect that P.S. could be an anthology, too. SEA DEVILS was quirky toward the end of its classic run and I'd like to see someone revive them. I also figure that if they brought back these titles, they might do more reprints--which is what I'm mainly interested in having.

    I think there's a good chance that all the titles listed will come back at some point--probably not for a long stay but maybe for ten or twelve issues.

    Brave & The Bold
    Showcase
    Tales of the Unexpected

    Same reasoning behind all three. I think they would fill a niche that is currently being neglected within the DCU.
    A team-up book, a book where anything new or left of centre is given a shot and a good old fashioned horror/mystery book.

    I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

    OK just picked my five. This was harder for me. BRAVE AND THE BOLD first and foremost. We need a team-up book. And I would keep it general rather than Batman-centered like it was for a lot of its run. Then SHOWCASE. Exactly what it always was, a try-out title for new or lesser-known characters and series. Then HOUSE OF MYSTERY, a classic title I'd make an anthology. Then I went with CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN (I just love the idea of them) and The ATOM (because come on!).

    The top 3 here appear to be THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, SHOWCASE & JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA.
