Summer comics: DC annuals of the 1960s

Giant-size annuals became a summer tradition for DC through the early 1960s, allowing readers to catch up with stories about their favorite character's reprinted from years past. Without the big Showcase and Archives collections today, it was the only way beside rare back issues for younger readers to see some of these adventures. In the1970s, the tradition continued with various "giant-size" formats.

Here's a collection of covers from those 60s annuals. Images from the Grand Comics Database:

  2. I agree w/ Jim. I use to love these issues.
    I think it was because you get about 4 or 5 stories in one book.
