*DC: One of my favourite off-beat DC Silver Age series was Dial H For Hero, which appeared in House Of Mystery #156-173. Robby Reed, a small town teenager (with a penchant for exclaiming ‘Sockamagee!’) found a magical dial he used to transform himself into a variety of new super-heroes to battle the bizarre menaces that threatened his town. A charming series that benefitted from the artistic talents of Jim Mooney, whose design skills were well to the fore in the colourful and inventive guises that Robby adopted such as Giantboy, the Cometeer, Quake-Master, Mr. Echo, Astro, Man Of Space and dozens of others. He was accompanied by his neighbour Suzy who dialled into Gem Girl for one adventure, and he also dialled once into Plastic Man, technically being that hero’s first Silver Age appearance. Many issues new into stock, low grade reading copies to join our nice existing stock; oh, and each issue has a Martian Manhunter back-up to boot!
