I'm sure most of you recall the Famous First Editions tabloid-sized mags from the '70s. Some of them were also actually distributed in hardback by Lyle Stuart, Inc. in a limited run, with cloth covers and dust-jackets. A few years ago, DC issued one in the same format, that being More Fun Comics #1. However, they've also published hardback versions of some of their Collectors' Editions and I have five of them in all, though I'm not sure exactly how many altogether have been released in this deluxe presentation. More than five? Anyone know?
They're printed on superior glossy paper and are a delight to the eyes and hands. Honest, it's just such a pleasure to look at and touch them and I wish DC and Marvel would get together and reissue the first Superman Vs. Spider-Man team-up in hardback. I can see no reason why they couldn't, as it's been reprinted at least a couple of times over the years in standard-size comics and books. The covers are just like traditional UK Annuals, with no dust-jackets, and to be honest, I prefer them that way.
