Do you have a favorite among these characters whose original publishers are no longer in business and the character's copyright has now lapsed?

For more info,go to:

http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Public_Domain_Super_Heroes

Are there attempts by modern day publishers to revive these characters?

I was surprised to see some of the Fawcett and Quality heroes on there,as I thought DC owned them lock stock and barrel.

Its a wonder Roy Thomas has not done anything with these characters,an All-Star Squadron type book set in WWII,would definitely be on my pull list.

Yeah- like Kid Eternity? He's a Teen Titan!

I didn't know there was a golden-age Black Orchid!

This list looks like hours of fun.

Also listed in the PDSH wiki are...

Jenny Everywhere and Octobriana

Maybe you may or may not be familiar with these characters?

I've bookmarked Golden Age Greats and I'm surprised that they also have characters who were created in the 1950s as well as foreign heroes-even those from Canada!
