CCL Podcast #131 – Sold Out and OOP Books

July 25, 2007
By



Collected Comics Library Podcast #131
47,568Kb; 50m 28s

Today’s show is packed full of trade paperback goodness; from Frank Miller’s Bad Boy, Jonah Hex, Showcase Presents Secret Society of Super Villians and Cancelled Comics Cavalcade, The Spider-Man Masterworks, and even a Fouth Wotld follow up. I also have some great e-mail and audio clips, too.
For the feature at hand, I go over a topic that was started on the CCL Forum: Sold Out and Out Of Print books. As I say in the show, there are way too many to cover, so I go over what I want to have on my bookshelf. I think you’ll agree that some of these masterpieces should come back to print.

Sorry, friends, I meant to do this over the weekend, but we had some unexpected guests and, to be honest, I couldn’t take my eyes off of The Open all weekend. Damn you Sergio!!!
For all of you who are going to the SDCC this weekend, have fun and spread the good word about The CCL! For the rest of you (and me), be happy you don’t have to deal with any crowds while going to you kitchen. Now with some links:

CCL Podcast #130 – 4th World Companion

Collected Comics Library Podcast #130
33,811Kb; 36m 03s

First up I want to thank everyone who nominated me for a Podcast Award. I’ll have more news on that on this Blog later in the week. I also hoped all of you had a chance to download and listen to the latest CCL Comic Book Page May 2007 Stats Podcast. Comments are always welcome!
On today’s show I go over a small bit of news from Image, Dynamic Forces and the CrossGen/Checker Book Collected Edition Reprint Team-Up. It’s nice to see those finally getting published.
The CCL interior website has two new Checklists for you to download: The EC Archives and The Dark Horse Archives. I also hope to have all the individual pages for the DC Archives, Marvel Masterworks, Showcases, Essentials and everything else all updated by the end of the week And don’t forget to check out the Release Schedule; it’s all updated with the latest solicitations from DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and others.
For the feature today, I cover Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Epic, but not in the usual way. I do go over the Omnibus editions a bit, but really it’s a rundown of the monthly and collected edition publication history for all the Fourth World related titles from 1971-2005!
Time to enter the Boom Tube! Hop on in!
Chris
