Showcase #55 - DC Comics, April 1965. A Silver Age superhero team-up featuring Doctor Fate and Hourman in "The Super-Team Supreme" presentation.
This issue showcases two classic Golden Age heroes reunited for a special adventure. Doctor Fate, the master of the occult sciences, teams with Hourman, the chemically-enhanced hero with one hour of super-strength, to battle the menace of Solomon Grundy on a rampage. The cover features a dramatic scene with Solomon Grundy's massive form towering over the two heroes, while a special guest appearance by the Original Green Lantern is teased at the bottom of the cover.
The interior includes origin stories for both characters: Doctor Fate's mystical background as a student of ancient sciences and his discovery of the true conversion of energy into matter, and Hourman's transformation from mild-mannered chemist Rex Tyler into a super-athlete through his miraculous Miraclo pills. This issue demonstrates the rich history of the Justice Society of America's members and their enduring legacy in the DC Universe.
