I want ADVENTURE COMICS and WORLD'S FINEST COMICS revived, but if we're going to go back to the beginnings of the company that became DC then we might as well revive MORE FUN COMICS. I've often thought about what I'd like to see in a MORE FUN and how DC could do it. Obviously, MORE FUN wasn't always a comedy comic book, but I think that a revival ought to be. DC doesn't do enough humour comics anymore. And I'd like to see a funny book that features the DC super-heroes in comical adventures.

I don't get why my covers are now changing sizes.
Anyway...

Note that FEATURE FUNNIES, from Quality, didn't originally feature super-heroes, per se. Like a lot of early comic books, it reprinted features from the Sunday funnies--adventure and humour strips. Its big star was Ham Fisher's Joe Palooka. But there were a few "new" features to fill out the funny book--Hawks of the Sea, Gallant Knight and the Clock. Originally Posted by Air Wave
The title was changed to FEATURE COMICS with issue 21 and issue 27 introduced the title's biggest super-hero, the tiny Doll Man.
However, the oldest mystery man to appear in FEATURE FUNNIES was George Brenner's the Clock, who has the distinction of being the first original comic book masked hero--as he in fact predates the Quailty Comics company itself.
The Clock has been owned by three different publishers, not counting DC. Originally, in 1936, he was featured in FUNNY PAGES and FUNNY PICTURE STORIES and then in KEEN DETECTIVE FUNNIES and DETECTIVE PICTURE STORIES, all published by the Comic Magazine Company. Be that as it may, the rights to the Clock were soon sold to Quality in 1937. Meanwhile, Centaur Publications bought what had been Comic Magazine Company and they continued to reprint the old Clock stories.
