Thank you for the correction.<br /><br />Liss, I'm surprised Jack Miller managed to keep up with Professor Hugo, much less the Robot Brain. Kudos to Haney for using it.

The heyday for DC annuals was the 1960's, not the 1950's. I believe the fist (Superman Annual #1) was published in 1960. As far as I know, not a single annual was ever published by DC in the 1950's.
