Original Monster Society of Evil To Be Reprinted

…and the cool news just keeps on coming: It’s being reported from the ComicsPro meeting in Las Vegas that the original CC Beck Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil will be reprinted in 2009. As you may know, these classic stories have been collected before in a very expensive and limited quantity omnibus some years ago (1989; $135.00; America Nostalgia Library). This comes as both relief and shock. As I said when I featured Jeff Smith’s MSoE a few weeks ago, it’s about time that DC dust off the originals and get to work on reprinting some classic Golden Age works. Whether it be for an Omnibus, Showcase or a Absolute Edition, I don’t really care, I’ have been clamoring for a new edition ever since I got wind of the Shazam! Archives. Thanks to Koete for the info.
