But this is the one I've been waiting MONTHS for! Nov. 25. I'm getting it the second it's released. After that, I'll be living in a post apocalyptic 1985 for quite awhile. Maybe forever.
I've just bought the original series dirt cheap - lovely lovely bronze age yellowing paper goodness - all for a $1 each - apart from the first issue (#25) which costs a small fortune, but I'll find it somewhere for pennies - MARK MY WORDS!!!
Nice! But you saw the Masterworks edition right? http://marvel.com/catalog/?id=13391 Hardcover, digitally remastered. I love the yellowy paper goodness but this thing looks serious. For serious.
I never liked Masterworks for some reason. DC Archive Editions I could enjoy. The b/w softbacks seemed like value - but without the colour were ultimately pointless. The softback Batman Chronicles I like - but over here people are off loading comics like no-one's business so I can get my hands on the originals for cheap - diff'rent strokes an all that :-)
Deathlok!! You know I gots all the originals but I might just have to fork out for the Masterworks for easy access.
I like the Masterworks books. I've got all the Uncanny X-Men Masterworks that I drag out every so often. I still kinda regret selling all the originals though. I've bought and sold and rebought those stupid Cockrum/Byrne issues three or four times. I never learn. :(
