Above, is a book I bought in HMV yesterday (Friday), and though I already have most of the stories, I thought it would be handy to have them all in the same volume. This is a new edition of a collection published quite a few years ago, and though I already have the Superman companion book, I think I'll take another look in HMV later today (Saturday) and see if they have a new edition. Too tired to tell you what this one contains, but think of the thrill of discovery when you see for yourself as you're flicking through the pages the next time you're in your local HMV or comicbook shop. Happy hunting.
The front cover is a reversed image of a Neal Adams drawing, with a hitherto out-of-sight foot drawn by someone other than Adams by the look of it. This is one of these times when a reversed image doesn't look quite right, and Batman's right leg (previously his left) seems misshapen. Take a look at the last image to see what it originally looked like.
I probably have, or had most of these, too. It would be nice to revisit them, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to sit down with a cool glass of milk and make a start on them, G.
DeleteA collection I’d like to see in one volume would be Avengers 3-5 with FF25-26 - which sees the Hulk leave the Avengers, and Captain America join, with a good splash of Sub-Mariner in there too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds familiar, CN. Was there a Treasury Edition that reprinted these tales by any chance? Any others you'd like to see?
DeleteHow about anyone else?
For some reason I thought HMV had closed years ago.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean by the reverse not looking right.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a collection of Russ Heaths Warren strips and Nestor Redondo's Swamp Thing ( on its own) if they haven't been collected in one book.
Might have done in your town, CJ, but still going strong (?) in mine.

It often happens when an image is 'flipped', McS. though in a few limited occasions there's no discernible difference.
I think there was a Redondo Swampy published a few years ago, McS. I'd like one of them myself, even though I own the originals. By the way, received ST 1989 #2 today and quite enjoyed it, though I thought there was a few unnecessary F words in the script.
Have you managed to read Action Comics #583 yet?
I haven't read it yet I'm afraid but it's on my list along with Silver Surfer facsimilie #3 that I picked up today .
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for mine to arrive, McS. I thought it would be in with Swampy #2, but no.
