Fin Fang Foom wrote Unfortunately, as Golden Age material really only appeals to a small part of an already small audience that's buying "classic" reprint collections, there's really not too much to support the investment of "upgrading" or reworking older Golden Age reprints. That has happened at DC from time to time, when key issues have been reprinted in other books -- I believe Detective Comics #27 was revisited, as was the cover to Action Comics #1 (though I'm not sure where that was used) -- but there's just not enough interest in this stuff to make it worth the publisher's while. (If Marvel hadn't had the opportunity to redo the disappointing reprint of Marvel Comics #1 that appeared in the Masterworks, by subsequently repackaging it in another expensive hardcover, chances are the softcover would have been equally disappointing.)
