The actors of these shows seem to get along with each other. They could probably all get together and produce an "off-books" DC/Marvel crossover Fan film that would likely be 10 times more entertaining than anything the studios could do.
Ok folks lets take a trip back in comic time to the days of yore. I have selected (randomly) August of 1948 as our destination. (Books with August either on the cover or in the indicia). All these books likely would have been hitting the racks in the United States sometime in July of '48. What follows is all the Covers I could find for that time from the DC Wikia, the Marvel Wikia, The Grand Comics Database and Comic Book Plus. Many of these comics are now in the Public Domain and are available to read online free at sites like Comic Book Plus and Digital Comic Museum. Now I am sure that this is not everything that was available back then, but it is what I could dig up. You may notice the lack of Romance and Horror comics, their heyday was coming soon. In '48 the superhero comics that were so popular during WWII were still winding down and the female led action comics like Blonde Phantom, Rulah and Phantom Lady were still going strong. Crime comics had a very strong showing in '48 and of course there was plenty of stuff for the kiddies.
What would be on your pull list?
What would be an irresistible impulse buy for you because the cover draws you in?
