BCoffee Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 Hello, I am curious if there are any trade paperback or hardcover collected editions out there for Standard/Better/Nedor comics. I was looking specifically to see if there were any collected editions for America's Best Comics. I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I am thinking no, but figured I would check with the experts. Thanks
telerites Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 I am not sure about collected editions. Since they are in the public domain, you can access them online but I understand wanting a book. Here is a link to the America's Best series https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?cid=101

I'm thinking it's because it is in the public domain maybe, so no one has an exclusive license for the material.

I actually have complete runs of ABC, BT, Exciting, FY, Startling, Thrilling, and Wonder. All CGCed with lots of dupes. It took me nearly 20 years to complete it. I started on it since I loved Timelys and Schomburg but couldn't afford those. Now I couldn't afford either Point Five and Robot Man 2

Nothing special at all except with me. I started out only collecting Schomburg covers and this was the first non-Schomburg in my runs that I bought and just liked it. Incredibly dumb to have so many copies, I know.

I just picked this up and would love to read a hardback collection. Folks be missing out! Edited June 30, 2022 by Courageous Cat Microbia 1

Really wish someone would reprint all of these in a nice trade or hardback edition!
