I got this Two Morrows publication on Saturday as a birthday present from my favorite aunt up north.

It's incredible. Not only does it exhaustively trace the histories of all the major Quality characters from the Golden Age to the present, it also includes creator bios, interviews with Quality-fans-turned-creators Len Wein, Roy Thomas, and James Robinson, COLOR REPRINTS of NINE Golden Age stories, and so much more. And the cover is by the late, great Dick Giordano, possibly his very last work to be printed.

Expect to see the Justice Society visit the Quality universe sometime in future fanfics of mine.

I had to look up Quality to see what characters they had. Just by name alone, Stormy Foster and Neon the Unknown sound amazing!

That is certainly a stellar list of creators. It sounds like a fascinating book and I hope you'll post some updates here on your reading. (And what a nice auntie you have!)

I've always been fascinated by Quality Comics. From the business side of 'Busy' Arnold forming the company with Centaur Comics' the Clock, to Eisner, Cole, Crandall and so many other greats exploding with creativity during the war years, to the post war oddball years.

My father and I own some late Golden Age Dollman and Plastic Man comics and theyre terrific. And, of course, Blackhawk was fantastic.

FC, I'll definitely post updates in this thread. And, yes, thank you, my auntie is indeed a wonderful woman; she doesn't have a mean cell in her.

Cobie, I was thinking of you when I started this thread, and I'm at all not surprised to find out that you and your Dad own some original printings of Quality books. They must be gorgeous to look at.

EDE, I echo KK's thanks for the link.

Blacula, thanks for the heads-up. Cosmic Teams is truly awesome, it's one of my go-to research places on the web.
