Debuting in 1940 in Silver Streak Comics #6, the original Daredevil was a mute superhero who used boomerangs and his athletic abilities to wipe out American mobsters and international criminals. Capturing readers’ imaginations as he fought his nemesis, the evil Claw, the original Daredevil was a popular recurring character and eventual headliner in his own comic book series. In this volume, the first four expensive and hard-to-find Silver Streak Comics are finally collected in a deluxe hardcover volume! In addition to reprinting the original Daredevil’s debut episodes and early work by Jack Cole (Plastic Man), this essential volume of comic book treasures will present every story, gag strip, and text piece from the original anthologies!

The first ongoing horror comics anthology, Adventures into the Unknown! is finally collected into a series of deluxe hardcovers! The pre-Code delights found in this debut volume include inventive, exciting tales like “The Living Ghost,” “Kill, Puppets, Kill,” “The Affair of Room 1313,” and the ongoing “True Ghosts of History” feature—and contributions from Golden Age greats Fred Guardineer, Al Feldstein, Leonard Starr, Edvard Moritz, and others! Adventures into the Unknown! Archives Volume 1 reprints the first four issues of the popular, long-running horror anthology, which ran from 1948 to 1967.
• Foreword by Bruce Jones!

Fantastic! Only one thing I can't figure out, what issue are they starting with? It sounds like #1, but they mention the debut of Daredevil, which would be vol.2 @ 4 issues/volume. If they're starting with Daredevil in #6, then they're missing out on early Jack Cole and Claw stories.
With this and Crime Does Not Pay, I just wonder if Daredevil and Boy Comics might not be far behind? It'd be great to get an archival reprinting of Lev Gleason's output!

Well, never mind, I just looked at the cover image associated with the solicit, and saw that they're starting with #6. It's a shame. There's still some good stuff in #1-5. Maybe they can do an oversized vol.0 someday if the book is successful.
