DC's Greatest Imaginary Stories

Mainstream comics in the 1940s were often wildly inventive, and this collection of old "what if" comic book stories, titled DC's Greatest Imaginary Stories : 11 Tales You Never Expected to See!, is a good example.

I imagine the writers in those days were tired of grim bad guy vs good guy stories, so they took every opportunity to concoct outlandish stories, in which superheroes either died, had their cover blown, or entered a wacky parallel universe.

Mainstream comics were a lot more fun back then. The superhero comics of today are crippled by the humorlessness and self-importance. I'm glad to see that DC is digging into its vaults to revive these treasures. Link
