I keep meaning to get his SA stuff in DC's Archives. I assumed it's been printed there, right? Feels like every other JSAer got theirs, plus some more even obscure characters. I think his were in a compilation for some reason?

According to the GCD, it was reprinted in The JSA All Stars Archives Volume1 ([December] 2007).
And as for "Feels like every other JSAer got theirs", don't forget Hourman never had his own self-titled book, and he wasn't as long-lasting a series as many other of the JSA members.

That's what I mean though. Right now as we type I have my copy of Starman Archives vol 1. Their situations were almost exactly the same, iirc. He get 2 volumes (1 so bad I refuse to own it) and we're done.

I'll have to check, as I may already own this material afterall. It gets a bit confusing to me with all the Archives and JSA this, JSa that.

That scene was based on the Golden Age story originally printed in Adventure Comics #79 (October 1942)

Definitely one of my top 3 JSA'ers ever. A lot of great art in this thread.

This was probably the first time I saw the character (in a Brazilian reprint of the issue in the mid-70's, actually). It was love at first sight.

In light of Stargirl, this is really ironic.

I don't know how replacing the miraclo pill with the miraclo ray could work. I understand the intention and applaud the creativity, but already the micraclo formula is very extended to be erased as such.
