TTTXT recommends - D.C. Showcase.

Again, no-one will give a damn but if you haven't seen the new Showcase books from D.C. then I heartily recommend you check it out. They are essentially D.C.'s answer to Marvels Essential books. Thick, phone book sized, cheap reprints.

Currently you can get Superman with 2 years of adventure and the first couple of years of Green Lantern. Both are reduced to ?7 for promotional purposes and at that price they are a real bargain. There's also Metamorpho for ?11 which is possibly even more fun.

Comics anyone can read and enjoy and coming soon - Jonah Hex.

Bought the Green Lantern one from FP yesterday for the princely sum of ?6.99 (even cheaper on Amazon, though). Fantastic stuff and *stupidly* cheap, although I'm not complaining.

Can't wait to get the Green Arrow one. :)

Looks promising. What's the print quality like? Is it much the same as the Essentials range - b&w linework on bog paper - or is there a difference?

[Wils]

The reproduction's better than the Marvel ones, IMO, and although obviously not top grade stuff, the paper stock's not exactly bog roll.

Cait's got a loads of the Marvel Essentials and I've found that the reproduction/paper combo can make reading them a bit hard going. Not so with my Green Lantern one, though. :)

Sounds good. Cheers for the info, Wils - I'll be popping the Green Lantern & Superman collections on my shopping list.

I'll be getting Jonah Hex and House of Mystery.  I generaly don't like Siverage Superheroes, so they'll go great with my Marvel Essentials, Killraven, Howard the Duck, Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night,   and the Frankenstien Monster.
