If you are unsure about what you want to read, or
you enjoy variety in your reading diet, then our Mixed Bag category is probably just the place for you.
Some titles were designed from their outset to be anthologies or compilations that encompassed many
different genre. Other titles morphed throughout their life making it difficult to place them in even a couple of
categories. There were also titles, such as Dell Four Color or Harvey Comics Hits that produced
individual issues in a range of genre.
So the the only way to deal with these is to put them in a 'mixed bag'.
But for you, the reader, this may well be a blessing in disguise as the odd-bins are always the
best to rummage in!
Hopefully this category proves the maxim that, 'variety is the spice of life'.
We have 299 titles and 12,287 issues in our 'Mixed Bag Category' for you to enjoy.
