Hello everyone.
My birthday is coming up and I want to add more variety to my Amazon wishlist. With my local comic shop kaput, I don’t really read many comics anymore. I’ve finally gotten down to the dregs of my stockpiled trade paperbacks, like The Transformations of Jimmy Olsen. After years of everyone raving about Turtle Boy, I finally read that story and it is all kinds of lousy. I mean, that story fails on every other level except for being able to entertain a small child.
What I’m looking for are titles of trades of quality classic stories. For instance, there was an early Popeye book that Chuck Dixon once recommended. The collected Peanuts books as well (from back when Good Ol’ Charlie Brown was the central character instead of Snoopy). Are there any similar suggestions you all might have?
Also…are there any recent trades that you would actually recommend?
