I had the one on the right as a kid, and once saw the same cover with a different colour background for sale in a used bookstore.

I've owned a few of them over the years, but this is the only copy I still have now. It has some nice Andru Spidey reprints: OtherEric, rakehell, greggy and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are nowhere near as sharp as that & I've seen a few that looked like they'd been kept outside for a decade or three.

Get Marwood & I Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Nice original owner copy of this 'Double Double' compendium on eBay currently: I wonder what their nickname was at school.....

OtherEric Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Completely not what the topic is really asking about… but just as certainly an example of company produced bound comics. rakehell and greggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think the company did that, as oppossed to a collector? djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that was the consensus when I first shared the book on the forums. The gilt printing on maroon boards, and the style and font in general, match volumes with known provenance. Even with all that, it’s only about 98% certain. Someone could have theoretically bound high grade copies of the relevant issues to make it look like a file volume. I just don’t get why anyone would, and by the time it worked its way to me I only paid $40 or so for it… I can’t remember exactly for sure.

Now that I got rid of my raw books, I have some space and this is a part of the hobby I've always stayed away from and know little about.

It was either somewhere back in the massive Four Color thread or in one of several short lived bound volume threads that have popped up. My search fu isn’t finding the bound volume threads, but here’s the four color thread: I may repost my volume over there with new pictures when I get home.
