*Still?!* I'd not put up with that for another moment!
Dr Doom wants to become Emperor Doom. Which villain did he plan to use to power a device in order to reach that goal?

It was The Purple Man. I've not read it but imagine that the device would enable Doom to order everyone on the planet around.

Doom had created a giant jewel to enhance and project Purple Man's powers across the world. Of course, it's odd that a genius like Doom would overlook that Purple Man's powers are pheremonal in nature and therefore I'm not sure how one broadcasts that via an enclosed powered up jewel that Purple Man is stuck inside.
Ahem. Even odder - at some point Doom blamed his weird(er) failures on Doombots, including this story. Of course
Ok.... in honor of the Idol going... which villain lured Atom, Flash and Supergirl to his planet to destroy them?

Yesterday, I would have said T.O. Day.
Tomorrow, I might have said Y.E.S. Terday.
But today, I’m going to say T.O. Morrow.

It was an issue of Super-Team Family. I bought it a few months ago but haven’t read it yet. I’m looking forward to but it seems like a totally bizarre premise; How did a ‘mad scientist’ character like Morrow become the ruler of a distant planet? When did he start wearing a standard super-villain costume? Why would he want to kill the totally random combo of Atom, Flash and Supergirl?
I love Bronze Age whackiness so I cant wait to find out!

^ I will but it may take a while; I’m trying to complete the series before I start reading it.
Q: When DC Comics (then known as National Periodical Publications) bought Quality Comics in the1950s it chose to keep only four of Quality’s ongoing titles running. Which four were they?

Ah but Beetle and Atom were Charlton. Quality did Great titles like the Uncle Sam and Human Bomb In Love one shot. Well, it was more like one panel than one story...

Only one correct so far but one of you was very close with one of your other guesses and you’re both definitely on the right track with the general theme of your guesses.
Q: When DC Comics (then known as National Periodical Publications) bought Quality Comics in the1950s it chose to keep only four of Quality’s ongoing titles running. Which four were they?
1. Blackhawk
2.
3.

I know there's a romance title (at least one), and there has to be something that showcased Plas and Midnight and Firebrand so I'm going with ...
Police Comics
Love Letters
And just for good measure:
Western Comics

I had to get the foreign editions of those growing up:-
Police Action Comics - Banned by the government and the printing presses destroyed after #3.
French Letter Comics - Shut down by the local Comic Code after #2. The free gifts in #1 were interesting though.
Sort of Central and North a Bit Monthly - Notable for the all inclusive main character Meandering Man and his genre free, inoffensive tales. Shot by the townsfolk in issue #4.

You are both correct to be guessing a romance title for one of the last two spots. I’m not sure how to classify the final title. Adventure? Crime? I will say that it stars a very famous character.

^ Neither of those two Andy (I think Uncle Sam was... Charlton?).
Edit: Actually, I just double-checked and he was Quality!

tsk I even mentioned Uncle Sam in one of my Quality quips (that's the only chance I'll get to put "quality" in the same sentence as them ) Is The Spirit one of them?
