*DC: Our alphabetical romp through the DCU has reached the letter ‘H’, with lots of additions to the following titles: Hawk & Dove, Hawkman, Hercules Unbound (a title new to our listings), Hot Wheels (a nice copy of #1 with art by Alex Toth), House Of Mystery & House Of Secrets. A word about a couple of these: Hawkman is a personal favourite, with wonderful scripts by Gardner Fox (who excelled in the sort of science-fiction and fantasy setting so often used in this series, plus superlative art by Murphy Anderson — a woefully underrated series which deserves much more popularity; the later issues of House of Mystery (#156-173) are the origin of the Dial H For Hero feature which has returned many times in different guises to the DCU over the years, and here is quite frankly often quite potty, but original and endearing with very effective art mostly by moody Jim Mooney. Sockamagee!
