Recommended GA Trades

[innocuous]

This year, I've read a lot of GA reprints from DC. Now, I'm looking to expand. (These will go on my holiday wish list to my family.)

 

What are your recommendations for TPBs / reprints of GA comics.

This is going to shock you, but I enjoy the SHAZAM! archive editions; there is also a SHAZAM! family one as well that has Jr. and Mary (among others).

Paul Karasik's Fletcher Hanks book!

I just learned of that book--definitely on my want list.

 

I've enjoyed the DC Archives and Marvel Masterworks. For Capt. Marvel fans there's also the Monster Society of Evil collection. Also the Little Lulu and Barks Libraries are first rate. The Archie best of the '40s is great, too. For MLJs, Shield's CD set is the way to go. Lots of good stuff out there...

I would agree with EC reprints. Shock Suspenstories, Crime Suspenstories, Vault of Horror, MD (my favorite!). I did not like Psychoanalysis, though- a bit too much.

All of the DC Golden Age archive editions are fun. The Marvel/Timely reprints are also cool.

Yeah, the lulu trades are a lot of fun, I forgot about those! How well stocked is your local library? That's where I read most of my trades. For a small town, we have a HUGE comic section.

Paul Karasik's Fletcher Hanks book!

 

I second this recommendation. (I'm not surprised that Mr. .5 and I have similar taste here). I just read the book and really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

The Lulu's are great, and, there are about 8 volumes at the library. My daughter has checked them all out, I think.

 

I'm going to request...I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets: The Comics of Fletcher Hanks

 

This would be something completely new for me.

A little late to the party on this one, but you can't go wrong with the Mad Archives.

 

Haven't seen the DC version, but if you can get ahold of the Russ Cochran set it's well worth the effort. Kurtzman, Elder, Davis, Wood, Krigstein, Woolverton, Severin, Heath, ... they're all in that collection.

Glad you enjoyed...

 

Now get crackin' on collecting those Fox books!
