Quick quiz: Is this one of the greatest comic covers ever?
Choose from the following:
The correct answer is “Definitely not C,” and it makes me wonder why we don’t have awesome monthly digests like this these days. Never mind DC’s trade paperbacks and Showcase editions - I want cheap, mass-market collections reprinting stories that may not be fan favorites or shaken the world, but are just plain fun. You know, like 11 shorts from Detective Comics, for example. If I were running DC (and thank God that I’m not, both for my sake and yours, comic fans), I’d create a line of cheap reprints that came out every month, and just to make sure that sales were high, I’d get Jim Lee to do two pages of continuity-heavy crossover “must have” story in each issue. Sure, the fans would complain, but they’d also get the opportunity to read that “Never mind Harry Potter, here’s fucking Amethyst, you philistines” issue I’ve been planning for years.
