If you’ll indulge me in a rare completely Kirby-free post on this weblog, if you like funny comics may I recommend the just-released SUGAR & SPIKE ARCHIVES VOL. 1, collecting the first 10 issues of the Sheldon Mayer series from 1956-1957. One of my favourite comics of all time, this is a long overdue collection, and I hope the first of many.
If you’re unfamiliar with the series, you can see many, many posts about it over on my other site.
I’ll no doubt end up getting this because I love Mayer. The Archive format is something of a turn-off. I strongly dislike “shiny” paper, and the books are grossly overpriced for the page count.
Are these reproduced from stats, or did the art have to be recreated?
