| These stories were photographed from a bound volume. I'd love to know what else was in that fat book. |
|
| Yes, that would be very interesting indeed. In Germany too, there are bound comics that fans have bound by bookbinders. While it's nice to have a hardcover book on the shelf, but I'm not a huge fan of it because the original character of the comic is lost. And if you later have to sell your treasures, for whatever reason, you'll find that you can't expect as much money for several comics bound in one book as for individual comicbooks. |
