That's a bold statement that I don't agree with.  I believe all of the Schwartz titles were as good as DC Silver Age got ... especially with Kane and Anderson art!

I'll wager a nickel -- I never bet more than I can afford to lose! -- that if you go up to any older comics fan and ask him/her to rank the top 1960s Silver Age DC comics that Doom Patrol will be listed before either Atom or Hawkman are mentioned. I'm not saying that Doom Patrol will be at the top of the list, just ahead of those other two titles.

You owe somebody a nickel. I was a buyer of those titles off the newstand in 1963-64 and I preferred Atom and Hawkman to Doom Patrol then - and now.

And now you see the wisdom of never betting more than you can lose! If Lightning n Chemicals will provide me with an email address, I'll have that nickel off to him via PayPal straightaway. (Of course, there will likely be a $0.90 processing fee to collect it...)
