Winter 1940. Dr. Fate doesn't mess around with evil wizards, in this panel from ALL-STAR COMICS #3. The late Jim Harmon, recounting this story in a nostalgic essay ("A Swell Bunch of Guys") in the 1970 book ALL IN COLOR FOR A DIME, remarked, "I have always suspected that one tap from the Spectre’s green-gloved hand could have jammed Dr. Fate’s golden helmet down so far over his ears, he could never get it off if he worked ad infinitum."

Although it appears unlikely to happen in my lifetime, I would also like it if DC reprinted the Golden Age Doctor Fate stories, in particular the earliest installments by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman, which have a weird pulp horror vibe, enhanced by the unusual lettering style, with its elongated "E"s. The page above is actually from Fate's chapter in the first JSA story in ALL-STAR COMICS #3 (Winter 1940), but it's the same artist and gives a sense of the flavor.
This mood was unfortunately short-lived, lasting only through Fate's appearances in MORE FUN COMICS #55–71 and ALL-STAR COMICS #1 –7 in 1940–1941. With MORE FUN #72 and ALL-STAR #8, the bottom half of his helmet was sawed off, his powers were scaled down, and the macabre mystical stuff was quickly excised, leaving Dr. Fate a pretty ordinary superhero. He stuck around through 1944 and MORE FUN #98, but the thrill was gone, and was not restored until the character was revived in the 1960s.
Frustratingly, DC has previously remastered and reprinted the entire run of Dr. Fate's Golden Age solo strip: The MORE FUN COMICS strip was collected in its entirety in the GOLDEN AGE DOCTOR FATE ARCHIVES back in 2007, and all of Fate's appearances in ALL-STAR COMICS (including the two pre-JSA issues) are included in the ALL-STAR ARCHIVES volumes. Unfortunately, the GOLDEN AGE DOCTOR FATE ARCHIVES was expensive and very rare even when new, and both it and, lamentably, the ALL-STAR ARCHIVES have been out of print now for more than 15 years. DC certainly could either repackage and reissue those collections, or release a collection with just the spookier early material, but they probably won't. A pity.

Maybe I'm just a contrarian, but this is still my favorite of the Dead "trilogy."

This is what they call “swabbing the deck.”
