Thanks for the kind words! It’s all a coincidence — I’d been meaning to do “FOTW” for a while, and ironically the late solicits gave me the chance.

Still, the hardcover does look like a nice collection.

As for the Namor/Jay parallels, if there is any connection between the two revivals, it seems to me like Marvel wanting to have a little fun with the idea. “Here’s our old Golden Age hero — we blew up his home and now he hates us!”

Maybe a topic for Comic Book Urban Legends…?

You must have been overjoyed to see the solicits today – DC Classic Comics Library – Flash of Two Worlds, reprinting Flash #123 and many other early stories featuring the team-ups between the two.

Serendipity? Synchronicity? there’s a word for stuff like this.

Is it my imagination, or did Marvel copy DC in everything in the ’60s? JLA comes out, then FF. Golden Age Flash appears, then Sub-Mariner. Things that make you go “Hmmm”.

Great article!

Cheers,
