I've really been getting into some of the DC Archives and Showcase Presents editions like Enemy Ace, Blackhawk, The War that Time Forgot, etc.- and on looking around, I remember reading about Spy Smasher. He was featured briefly in the Justice League Unlimited series, and apparently will appear in the new DC Universe Online game. Despite that, I haven't been able to find any collections from his series. I assume that back when it was originally made, graphic novels might not have been invented, or were simply more rare. And since I've read the DC Archives line is now only going to focus on sequels to it's ongoing series (at least according to Comic Shop News), I'm becoming increasingly concerned that one may not exist, nor come to fruition any time soon. Anyone know otherwise?

Almost certainly doesn't exist. There are vast numbers of comics, even plenty from big names like Eisner and Kirby, that have never been collected. Honestly, it's unlikely that there'll ever be a Spy Smasher collection.

There's no definitive collection. But if you want to dig through AC Comics reprint titles, particularly Men of Mystery they have reprinted some Spy Smasher stories which did not have the copyright renewed.
