@oldfashionoutlaw Thanks for the feedback!
Trade Paperbacks need a come back. Still waiting for the return of silver age trade paperbacks. And I am over a year behind on the current Nightwing, because I read Nightwing as trade paperback, and not hardcover trades.
I believe the trades you show in your opening post were originally printed as single volumes in the hardcover Omnibus line first. I think they pared down the page count for the paperback version and turned them into multiple volumes, so the two volumes of Doom Patrol you show here were a single book in hardcover, the same for the Supergirl, and the GL might be volumes 1 and 2 in HC…
That’s how I’ve interpreted the situation between the hard omnis and the softcovers like you show here.
Yes that is right.
I just want them to finish making Golden Age trades… I recently spent $170 to collect the first adventures of Alan Scott
Well why not both? When they were printing trades, they were doing Gold, Silver, and Bronze at the same time.
That’s what they’ve been doing right? I remember seeing bronze age stuff at my local comic shop.
That is what they were doing before covid. Paperbacks trades in general have not come back yet in full force. Even current books have not been released on paperback yet, only hardcover trades.
That’s upsetting
Yeah, but a lot of the hardcovers that are being released right now were ordered a year or more ago…
Yea over all printing is being delayed because of COVID, but in general paperback trades have been hit the hardest. And the silver, bronze, and gold trade printing seem to have no plan for being picked up and that is troubling.

One hundred percent agree!
Now DC just needs to pick up where they left off and start printing them again.
I love the covers for these. I’d love for them to continue these just for that!
Welcome back to the community @oldfashionoutlaw! These are beautiful covers - congratulations on the collection.
Please don’t hesitate to let the moderator team know if you need anything.
Start printing them again. Pretty please ha ha… Silver Age Doom Patrol had like one more volume left.
Still hoping and waiting that DC will continue to print its silver age trades.
