Marvel is no better honestly. Some trades appear to have print runs of roughly 19 copies.

The first print of Big drat was on lightweight paper. I remember when the 2nd ed came out I was shocked by how much heavier it was.

Measure your trim before you buy Billy's, the cutout is actually kind of short and a lot of newer trim is too tall to fit under it.

I haven't noticed anything too crazy. But it's been a few months since my last order. Also I live geographically very close to their warehouse so that may play some part.

Supposedly they're moving the entire operation back to Indiana next year, they have an enormous new warehouse on the east side of town that Lunar/DCBS is operating out of.

Hello HC thread, recent events have shaken up my brain quite a bit and I've decided I no longer need the massive collection of books I have gathered. Shortly I will be putting several sets of books up at fire sale pricing. I prefer to sell these in the sets I'll be listing so please don't ask me to break up sets.

To start things off,
Hellboy Library Editions 1-7 + In Hell. $300 shipped.

I don't want to commit but I'm curious how much you'd want to ask for the Fantastic Four volumes?

Probably like $150 for the pair? They're both still shrink wrapped.

I'm interested in both DD sets. IDK what those are worth, and I'd have to wait until after the new year at this point anyway.

Value isn't going to be super important to me with this stuff. I just want to clear some space and put this stuff in the hands of people who will love them.

I should also have said I'm still not 100% back to daily posting here, but I will make an extra effort to check this thread if people want to buy some books.

Just finished Annihilation and it was a fun ride. I didn’t really care for Ronan, but overall it was very entertaining.

I *really* want the Absolute versions of Sandman + Death + Overture, but I already have the three omnibuses. It’s really hard to justify those prices, but they do look *really* pretty on the shelf…

I was at Ollie's last week and they had three volumes of the Annotated Sandman HCs for $10 each. I was tempted but I really don't need another version. Not when I've decided to clear out anything that's no longer needed.

I think Marvel is just striking while Conan is hit for them right now. Unless Disney buys Conan outright it's always possible that the rights will shift yet again.

Has anyone else picked up the Miracleman omnibus? I'm reading it for the first time and in wondering if the colours have been redone. They seem really good for 1982, having recently read material from that era like JLI, COIE, etc.

I believe it was recolored for the premiere hardcovers a few years ago.
