MMM - I don't know how far you've read into the 60s series, but to me it peaked with issues #40 through #61.  After that Gil Kane left the title for about a year, and the fill-in artists (Jack Sparling, Mike Sekowsky IIRC) were less than stellar.  Then Kane returned, but with Broome doing less and less work, a lot of other writers were pitching in, and the series became very uneven.  There are a few gems to be found here and there (a 2-part story involving Sinestro and Star Sapphire comes to mind), but sales were plummeting (as they were on most DC titles in the late 60s) and Julie decided he had nothing to lose by turning it over to O'Neal and Adams.

Another showcase volume would presumably move forward through the GL/GA period, and then into the GL back-up stories in The Flash.



  

"As for contentment, that is a myth.  Give a man everything he wishes and he will be unhappy, because he didn't wish for more; give him more, and he will die of his worries.  Only a turtle, asleep on a sunny log, knows contentment!"
