Rip Hunter...Time Master Part II

In part I I discussed the first reprint of the late 50s/early 60s non super-hero team from DC Comics, Rip Hunter...Time Master. The team includes Rip, Jeff, Bonnie and her teenage brother Corky. The first story in Showcase 20 did not have an origin for the group. Rip is the time machine inventor with the other three acting as male friend, girl friend (maybe) and kid friend.

The second reprint is in World's Finest 227 (Feb-Mar 1975) of "The Secret of Mount Olympus" from Rip Hunter...Time Master 11 (Nov-Dec 1962). Why this issue when earlier issues were better? Don't know. This is the fourth issue illustrated by Bill Ely who continued to the end of the series. It shows why so few were reprinted as the comic now has pedestrian stories and art.

The issues that I'd love to see reprinted are 6 and 7 because the artist is Alex Toth. Here's an example of original art and a link to a superb new series on Toth.
