Yesterday I stumbled across a Half Price Books (sparse on the ground up here) and foolishly went in. I knew I was in trouble when I saw a graphic novel display right in front of the door.
My eye was immediately drawn to six or seven or eight hardcover volumes of reprints of old Sci-Fi comics apparently “presented” by Roy Thomas. I was spared from dropping a C-note (although at $13 a crack they were a genuine volume) when I instead spied an absolutely lovely set of two hardcover books in a gorgeous slip-cover. It was the run of this very comic. According to eBay, the set was very cheaply priced at $25 (plus tax), so I’m pretty satisfied with the purchase. Where I’m going to store the thing is another question.
