I am, however, going to give WW a pass because although I love Peters' artwork, I hate Kanigher's writing on WW. I think he totally…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Coincidentally, today I got an email from Tales of Wonder saying that the Phantom Stranger Omnibus has been cancelled by the publisher. If so, this would be the second time it has been solicited and cancelled. Does anyone here have any more info on…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"I mentioned Gwandaland here a couple years back. And Lance must be the hardest working guy in this biz. Not only is he seemingly reprinting everything, if he redoes a book because better copies of the comics have become available he will replace…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"That is a great list. From what I can tell the Dark Horse collections are the same as the older Cochran B/W sets. Can someone confirm that? I have the latter, and decided against the DH color versions. Although, like Captain Comics and Jeff of…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"I won't be buying this one, but I applaud your thorough research."
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Thanx, I'll await your review."
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Thanx for the update. It doesn't help me to make a decision about the Wrightson book, unfortunately. I'm taking a pass for the time being, although if I end up wanting it later I probably won't get as good a discount. Oh well, I…"

Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Well darn, can't DC get any kind of consistency? You had me convinced until your caveat. When you mention the color, does that refer to the quality of the color printing, or that the pages have been recolored for that edition. Thanx for the…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Hi folks, got a question for you all. I see that DC is soliciting for "Absolute" Swamp Thing. Other than being somewhat larger in dimensions, and less pages than a typical Omnibus, is there anything else compelling about it? thanx."
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"I don't like it either, but I'm sure some bean counter has figured out that they'll sell x more copies by making that change."
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"So, I figured I'd better go to the shelves and check it out. Unless I'm mistaken, it's worse than I thought. Assuming WW archives 1-7, at which point WW omnibus 3 nicely picks up with only one duplicate, it also starts with Comic…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"If I remember correctly, Jeff, there is another gap. With Wonder Woman you (and me, as I've made the same collecting decisions) won't have the first 2 or 3 WW stories that were originally in Comic Cavalcade. I'm not sure if…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Just to prove that I'm not always negative, I just got the Spectre Omnibus, and moved it to the front of the line, and although I've only read the first couple of stories, they are as good as I remember from decades ago. I'm impressed…"
Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Hi all, I know I'm going to sound like a crank, but I can give you my feedback early on the Adam Strange stories. An alien being threatens to take over the planet Rann. Strange stops it. Repeat."

Welcome to the Comics Round Table,
I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( mrs.katekwame5@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Kate Kwame.
