Doctor Fate Respect Thread (Revamped)

The Updated Dr. Fate Respect Thread

As I pointed out in the original thread, there were a lot of scattered scans from Pre and Post Crisis Fate. Now I'm trying to put everything in order going from oldest to new as best I can (I'm not perfect) starting from Pre-Crisis era... to today. Here it is. I'm also just moving my scans to the other thread here to this one when they fit in chronologically. ( So Digi dont close it until then or wtv)

I will try to cover everything he had...since his debut comics in the 40's to his new stuff this year. But my sincere thanks to anyone who decides to post scans in the thread.

Doctor Fate is best known as a member of the Justice Society of America. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Howard Sherman, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #55 (May 1940).

At his most potent, Doctor Fate is an accomplished sorcerer, able to match most other wizards in the DC Universe. He has been credited in DC's Who's Who as being one of the top 12 most powerful heroes in the DC Universe.

Kent Nelson was the best known and longest used Doctor Fate. He was an archaeologist who discovered the tomb of the mystical being Nabu and was trained by him in the arts of magic.

Afterwards, DC introduced several new versions of Doctor Fate. These included: Eric and Linda Strauss, a man and woman who could merge to form Doctor Fate; Inza Nelson, Kent Nelson’s reincarnated wife; a mercenary named Jared Stevens who used Nelson’s weapons as simply Fate; and a resurrected Hector Hall, the son of Justice Society of America members Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Unlike many of his JSA teammates, Doctor Fate did not have an analogue or counterpart among the JLA. This was perhaps because the Silver Age revivals initiated by Julius Schwartz took a more science fictional bent, with which the character was not essentially compatible. In addition, this may have boosted his long-term popularity especially considering he is the closest counterpart the company has had to Marvel Comics' Doctor Strange.
