I enjoyed the first issue of the new Dial H For Hero. It's gotten me thinking about the history of the H-Dial and the many forms it has taken.
The first H-Dial of course looked like this:
Then it became two H-Dials, both of which could be worn on the wrist.
Since then it came to Hero Cruz in Superboy and the Ravers where it took the form of an oversized belt buckle.
It also later became a push button device,
before changing to something closer to it's original form, but with letters from the Interlac
written language from LSH.
On the series before the latest it took the form of a classic phone dial.
Finally in the most recent series it looks like a old fashioned, red dial phone

The thing I love about the way the H-Dial has developed is the fact that with each form all other characters that have had a past encounter with the H-Dial instantly recognize it. It's as if each time the H-Dial changes its form it also rewrites its own history so that everyone remembers it looking like it currently does.
