Whatever Happened To...? A reprint request

The big comic companies have been reprinting all sorts of crazy things lately, but one comic I wish they would still republish is the 'Whatever Happened To...' back-ups in early 80s DC Comics Presents, where they would dig up some obscure character, and give them a proper send off, or maybe even a new lease of life. 

The main motive for these stories was quite clearly so the company could hold to the copyrights to characters they had no idea what to do with, but the tales themselves were often quite charming and nerdy, and could feel oddly important in the histories of Robotman or Hourman, or some other Golden Age hero. 

It might happen one day - DC is putting out a comic that is nothing but Joe Kubert covers soon, which is also 100 percent my jam -  so I can still dream about a book of codas.
