BONUS: SECRET ORIGINS COVER GALLERY EXTRA...

Images copyright DC COMICS

Let's take a little detour from our regular SECRET ORIGINS

series and cop a gander at the covers of the original mags from the

'60s that started the ball rolling.  First up (above) is the SPECIAL

GIANT ISSUE from 1961, followed by the 80 PG. GIANT #8

(below) which, despite its numbering, was the second issue in

the 'Origins' series and which was released in 1965.

A new series appeared in 1973 and lasted seven issues, and

you can see the covers by clicking this link.  At the foot of this

post are the replica editions of the two comics shown above and

below, the first from 1998 and the second from '99.  DC COMICS

issued a follow-up issue in the style of the two '60s mags in 2003,

and I've included that for good measure so that you've got all

three.  I'm not one to do things by halves, as you can see.

Anyway, have fun comparing the two original covers with

their replicas, and leave a comment if you have any interesting

thoughts, theories, or observations you'd like to share.
