I picked this up the other day from the bargain bin and have been really impressed. The mysteries are tight and short and Silver Agey as fuck, Infantino's art is as fantastic as ever and the Dibney's relationship is really unique and depicted well.
Can anyone recommend other great cheapo Big 2 volumes that may get overlooked? Stuff from:
>Marvel Essentials
>Marvel Ultimate Collections
>DC Showcase Presents
Not the obvious Kirby F4 or Claremont X-Men runs.
For the DC showcase Presents
Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld
Captain Carrot
The horror and war anthologies can be great, but pretty sure most of them are out of print and expensive
I have these showcases and they're all pretty good
Hawkman 1 and 2
Amethyst
Spectre
Phantom Stranger
War that time forgot
Green Lantern 1-5
Jonah Hex 1-2
also Moon Knight looks great as an essential
I can't believe how good the Showcase Jonah Hex collections are. I would consider them essential to any collection

>Phantom Stranger
This was good for the Neal Adams art but the Dr. 13 comics were awful
Also I finally get why this pissed off so many DC fans

I found it very stimulating personally.
What is the quality like on the Epic Collections?
I know they're replacing the Essentials altogether and they have that smart number system and full color
>>78937871
I have the two Moon Knight Ones and vol 3 of Silver Surfer. I'm happy with them

What's paper like?
>>78938002
It seems comparable to the other older Marvel collections I have. Not super glossy

Crisis of Conscience was a great story though.
>>78938355
I mean Identity Crisis.
Sorry, sometimes I great crises mixed up.

I really like the Enemy Ace stories.
