Rip Hunter...Time Master Part I

Rip Hunter...Time Master was one of the five non-superhero teams that DC created from 1957 to 1960. The team was introduced in Showcase 20 (May-Jun 1959). Further stories appeared in Showcase 21, 25, 26 and 29 issues of its own title. There have been no collected editions of Rip Hunter and very few reprints.

That's a shame because the early stories were drawn by some of the best artists of the fifties and beyond. Rueben Moreira, Mike Sekowsky and Joe Kubert handled the four Showcase issues. But the only one that has been reprinted is the first - "Prisoners of 100 Million B.C.!" in World's Finest 225 (Sep-Oct 1975).
