Its nostalgia-tastic.

Slaine: The Horned God was also in the shop, but gave it a miss due to lack of money (though I will get it eventually). It has an intriguing looking Horned God Commentary at the back that runs for 5-6 pages which gives annotations of the main strip, but as far as I could see isn't credited, and isn't clear if its new material, or reprinted from somewhere else. The cover is that image Jon was attempting to source on the board a while back.

Bah. Wasn't in FP this morning, although I did stumble across EE30 and a single stray copy of 29, which I hadn't been able to find anywhere, in Glasgow's premier toy warehouse: A1 comics.

The Pat Mills commentary is all new and exclusive to this collection - Horned God that is -, as it the intro.

Is there any chance that from CCF11 onwards the colour spreads of each story could be printed in colour?

The reason I ask is because I think of stories like The Return of Stan Lee where grey-scale reprints don't really show the art to the best effect (I remember the old Complete Dredd/Law in Order preprints). I think this is also where we start seeing more painted opening spreads, and they rarely reproduce that well in grey-scale.

Is this too costly or impractical? I can understand that it might be.

In relation to colour in general, how practical/costly/feasible would it be to colour old black and white stories? Personally, I do like black and white art, but I realise that it can put some people off. For the right story, I think it can work well. I have the old Fleetway Definitive Edition of D.R. and Quinch that was fully coloured, and it's a fantastic-looking collection.

It's a really lovely-looking volume. Great cover and design, and some interesting notes from Pat. Hopefully the story itself will still hold up when I get a chance to read it next week.

The notes take the Slaine book from a "not getting again" to a "really tempted to buy" for me.  Nice to see that Pat has seen the fan film and heartily approves.
