I was surprised to find the reprints in this recent series!

The fantastic Corben cover is only the beginning of the treats in this magazine!

Some of these stories have been reprinted in other comics, but it would be terrific to see these stories collected in nice hardbound editions. Lots of great stuff to be appreciated nowadays more than ever.

Great obscure anthology series! John Bolton cover!

 

Live Large My Friends!

Thank You!
