The 5 trade paperbacks DC published chronicling Deadman's appearances throughout the silver age and bronze age was pretty comprehensive so I'm curious what issues starring the character from the time period were left out.

Well by checking on Wikipedia, I see that it is at least missing:

Thank you, but I'm looking more for comics from 1969-1986 that were left out like Challengers of the Unknown 84 Originally Posted by jb681131

I believe these are the only issues missing from 1969-86
Justice League of America 94
Brave and the Bold 104
Challengers of the Unknown 84
Forever People 9 and 10 - these issues contradict Deadman's earlier appearances so I can understand them not being included
Swamp Thing Annual 2

I have Brave and the Bold 104 in Legends of the Dark Knight: Jim Aparo vol. 1. I'm hoping we'll see Justice League of America The Silver Age Omnibus vol. 3 soon, which will include 94.
While I don't know why Challengers 84 wasn't included, it may be because it was the second part of a 2-part story and Deadman didn't feature at all in part 1. To get the whole story they would need to include Challengers 83 as well. They may have thought it better for space considerations to just include the follow-up 3-parter instead, which features Deadman prominently throughout the whole story.
Its a shame because I quite like the story in Challengers 83-84, which features an out of control Swamp Thing

I believe they were left out because they are not independant issues, but part of a bigger storyline. Originally Posted by Babylon23
