What are your favorite stories (or arcs, if such a thing existed then) of DC's earliest years, 1935-1939?

Aside from Superman and Batman stories (in Action Comics and Detective Comics), how many are readily available to the average reader?

Excellent question, and one of the reasons I asked. Aside from the earliest Superman and Batman stories all I could dig up among my own stuff is the first Slam Bradley story from Detective Comics #1 (1937) and some Scribbly stories from All-American Comics #6 (1939).

OK I'll take a stab at this. There are over 30 Superman stories from 1938-39, and I don't really remember any of them, aside from the first. There are only 8 Batman stories from the 30s though. I'm a fan of "The Batman Meets Dr. Death" from Detective Comics #29 (and its follow-up in the next issue).

Cosmo, the Phantom of Disguise is my choice for best character!

Okay, I lie.

Off the top of my head, that would be my favorite of the ones I have read.

Anyone ever read any of the early Zatara stories? Have they been reprinted ever anywhere?
