And then I came across your list . . . Blue Devil? Check! Captain Carrot? Check! All-Star Squadron? Triple check! Crisis? How can I not hold a special place in my heart for the series that let me make by cousin cry by telling him Flash was dead? And I doubt that any comic I own is as worn and torn as my oft-read copies of Who's Who. I'm hoping that Marvel's recent revival of the OHOTMU will spark a similar revival at DC. Of course, I'd hope that they actually waited till after Infinite Crisis dies down so that we won't have that strange "half of what you read in the first part of the series doesn't apply anymore" disconnect of the original series.Cap'n Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697751381139006839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1121982755283873912005-07-21T14:52:00.000-07:002005-07-21T14:52:00.000-07:00I know, "Anonymous."

Who's Who was one of the DC books I looked forward to most anxiously back in the day and one that I read and reread endlessly, even though I had never heard of most of the characters. Given the current rage for history over at DC these days, your piece made me want to phone up mom and dad and get them to package up and send me all the old Who's Who issues that currently reside in my own personal comic book archive (also known as their basement). Thanks for the great countdown!Jim Roeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381244745309535742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1121888593911840922005-07-20T12:43:00.000-07:002005-07-20T12:43:00.000-07:00I agree.

This had a certain light, all-inclusive tone that the Guide to the Marvel Universe -- which I seem to remember came out at roughly the same time -- just couldn't match.<BR/><BR/>A universe that had room for both Batman and Yankee Poodle?
