Like Green Arrow, Trevor had been working in comics for a time, but this was a chance for him to shine on a cover!
A great mini-series, sadly not reprinted, that dealt with a chance for Oliver Queen to regain his lost fortune.

Simplistic for its time, still an interesting series that debuted in Six-Gun Heroes #57 (June, 1960) and ran through issues #83 (March-April, 1965), along with two runs of self titled series, one for four issues (#1 to #4), and the second running for 6 issues, picking up its numbering from Six-Gun Heroes, though Giordano didn't do covers for the whole series, the ones he did are below.
Gunmaster was Clay Boone, a gunsmith who travelled from town to town with a small arsenal, dispensing justice with lead in his masked identity. He even added a sidekick, Bullet the Gun-Boy (who was Bob Tellub) in Six-Gun Heroes #79 (March, 1964), and faced foes like Doctor Dynamite and various other thugs and cattle rustlers.

Known more for his inking work than his artistry...
...he did do some incredible painted covers, here a couple for Skywald, with the title of Crime Machine (#1 from February, 1971 and #2 from May, 1971), a magazine with reprints of pre-code 1950s crime comics from titles including Parole Breakers, Murderous Gangsters, Police Line-Up, Behind Prison Bars, Famous Gangsters and Gangsters and Gunmolls.
Captain Comet was Adam Blake, a mutant born before his time with incredible mental powers, and the Atomic Knights included Gardner Grayle, who awoke to find himself in a post-apocalyptic world.
More on Captain Comet here, and the Atomic Knights here!
While a collection of the Atomic Knights happened over a decade ago, a planned Archive for Captain Comet never happened due to the end of the DC Archive line.
...with Betty and Veronica #54 (August, 1992) and #55 (September, 1992) with art by Dan DeCarlo...
...showing Archie Andrews captivated by the ladies' beauty!
Inside the issue, the Marvel Family deals with the Sivana Family, Captain Marvel deals with a distant relative of Thor, and more stories with Junior and Mary!
...but why?
Here's the tale...
Flash Gordon, along with Dale Arden, was taken to the planet Mongo by Dr. Hans Zarkov, where they encounter Ming the Merciless, and over the course of the series, ally themselves Aura, Prince Barin, King Vultan, Prince Thun and Governor Xeo to defeat their evil foe.

This four issue mini-series teamed Ash Williams with Dr. Peyton Wilder face the hordes of undead, all under covers by comic legend, George Perez!

This heat wave is melting everything...
...even this Bob Brown cover to Tales of the Unexpected #19 (November, 1957)...
...where our hapless heroes are in fear of melting in the face of a fearsome fireball!
Odd that these two covers for two different companies look like bookends....
But, he had two occasions where the ghost of Jor-El visited him (sadly, not a real ghost, but trickery by dastardly villains, in Superboy #20 of June-July, 1962 by with cover by Win Mortimer, and this villain in Superboy #78 of January, 1960, with cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye).
...these stories have been reprinted many times, with Neal providing even more raw emotion on the covers, but provided a wonderful window into the times they were made.
While George Perez only did a few pages of interior work on Batman #400 (incredible, and likely to receive coverage at some point), he did get to do some exemplary Batman covers related to Dick Grayson (covering his time as Robin in "Year Three", as well as Nightwing, and introducing Tim Drake to readers in the expanded "A Lonely Place Of Dying" working in New Titans issues, which George did draw).
As always, letting his art speak for him....

A fun look at funny animal characters, deftly drawn, on the fringes of the DC Universe, as you can see with the involvement of Changeling (formerly and later Beast Boy) and Gorilla Grodd.

Adventure Comics started as New Comics in December, 1935, going under that title until New Comics #14 (March, 1937, though the cover said New Adventure), then being New Adventure Comics from #15 to #31, before settling on Adventure Comics with #32 (November, 1938), going from light comedy to kids adventures to full fledged adventures!

Along the way, it debuted series like Sandman, Hourman, Starman, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and carried Aquaman, Johnny Quick, Superboy, Bizarro, Supergirl, Zatanna, the JSA, Dial H for Hero and more!
A fine title, loved by fans! To give you an idea of how long this title was around, when #32 hit the stands, it was there with Action Comics #6 (so Superman and Lois were around, but not Luthor) and Detective Comics #21 (pre-dated Batman!).
