DC Comics DC Finest
Even More Finest!
I wasn’t exaggerating when I said somebody’s lit a fire under DC with this line. Since publishing my last post there have been more details released and even more titles added to the line!

A New Line of Books from DC – DC Finest!
I don’t have any examples of the new line in hand, but copies are beginning to trickle out I believe. So, I feel fairly safe to follow up the Marvel ReMasterworks post with this from the DC side of things.
As this announcement from DC suggests, interesting things are afoot. My collector’s antennae are already twitching!

Marvel ReMastering the Masterworks!
Interested in the Masterworks line but missed out on those early volumes? This could be just for you!
The news regarding “ReMasterworks” was announced way back in summer 2022 by Marvel but I was rather sceptical. Wouldn’t Marvel be cannibalising it’s own sales in what I presume is a pretty small niche? I decided to sit back and wait until I had some examples in my hands. Well, my scepticism was unfounded. I’m pleased to say the line has been going for at least a year now and the books look great.

Odds and Sods on eBay
Swapping out books for newer editions, “upgrading” from paperbacks to hardbacks and plain old sorting stuff out and down sizing! Between all that I’ve got quite a few listings on eBay. It’s a bit of an odd mixture over all, but the most recent listings are: All prices include postage Read more…
Golden Age Marvel Timely
Escape to the Past 6: Namor the Sub-Mariner
Ol’ Subby is probably my favourite from the early 1940s/Golden Age. Not only could Namor’s creator Bill Everett draw – and what lush inking! – he could write. Sure, this is primitive stuff compared to comics published now, but his characters packed plenty of personality! This is helped by this Read more…

Batman: The Dark Knight Detective Updates 2023
It’s been (ulp!) over a year ago since I last posted anything about the twin lines of The Caped Crusader and The Dark Knight Detective books! There’s not been much movement in the months since, but there is some news. It looks like the sister line, the Caped Crusader is Read more…
Moon Knight
Moon Knight #1 Facsimile Edition
Not long after posting about the Moon Knight Omnibuses last year, I tripped over this fun thing which I just had to have – a facsimile edition of Moon Knight #1! I am probably the last person to have realised that there’s a whole series of these published by Marvel Read more…

Collected Ramblings
Well, I’ve certainly been neglecting this place so far this year! To be a bit fair to myself I have been tinkering around the edges, experimenting with privacy conscious site analytics and generally trying to de-Google things a bit. Why de-Google? Well, while I’m vain enough to actually want to Read more…

Batman: Caped Crusader & Dark Detective Updates
DC has continued with both of these lines of chunky paperbacks, collecting Post-Crisis, late 1980s and early 1990s Batman and Detective Comics. I’ve updated the main post on this here – Holy Collecting Crisis! – but some of the highlights are: Caped Crusader Volume 6 has now been published. Issue Read more…

Moon Knight Omnibuses: What Price Nostalgia?
Vaguely tying in with the recent Moon Knight series on Disney+, this year Marvel published a second omnibus volume collecting the classic 1980s comics, including those written by Doug Moench with art by Bill Sienkiewicz. Naturally, I bought the second volume to go with the first but it got it Read more…
