Neither marvel or dc used to pay a penny to a comics story writer or artist when it came to reprinting old material. An all reprint annual was thus far more profitable to the publishers then all new or partially new material. When you add to the mix. a publisher like Goodman, seeking to trim costs, New annuals didn't return until at least four years after he retired.
