Your Top 5 "I Wish They Would Collect....."

[caj]

What are your Top5 "I wish they would collect....." list?
*You can include a storyline that may already be included in an omnibus but you want a stand-alone edition.
*However, you can also include a wish for an omnibus that hasn't been released yet.
*Also include any particular writers or artists full run on a particular book

[SJNeal]

My Top 5 simply consists of series they've already started, but won't finish:

1. PAD's Aquaman
2. PAD's Supergirl
3. Dixon's Birds of Prey
4. Ostrander's The Spectre
5. Ostrander's Martian Manhunter

All of these can be done in 2-3 more volumes.

[Babylon23]

Ahh, the number of series that DC started collecting but never finished. Add Kesel's Superboy, Sandman Mystery Theatre, Power of Shazam, Vigilante, Infinity Inc.

Anway, my top 5:

1. All-Star Squadron by Roy Thomas
2. Metal Men by Kanigher/Andru
3. Blue Beetle by Len Wein/Paris Cullins
4. Captain Atom by Cary Bates
5. Post-Batman Outsiders by Mike W. Barr.Jim Aparo

Honourable mention to Metamorpho by Bob Haney/Ramona Fradon

Also, Superman post-Exile to the Death of Superman

[bob.schoonover]

1. Legion of Superheroes by Levitz. The whole thing, not just messing around with a fat trade here or an OHC there.

2. Armageddon: 2001 - all the annuals for sure, maybe the two follow up minis, but certainly some nice end notes about the whole Monarch identity fiasco - if they have Denny O'Neil's original plans, show them off, etc.

3. Green Arrow post Grell (81-137 - mostly for Dixon's run, but I'd like everything in between, and also for an actual collection including Brotherhood of the Fist).

4. Gotham Knights by Scott Beatty (33-49).

5. The Complete Batwoman and Bat-girl Collection - all the appearances of Kathy and Bette Kane from 1957-1974ish

I'd be interested in an omnibus that collected EVERY known appearance of...

Death's Head

*However, you can also include a wish for an omnibus that hasn't been released yet.

AFAIK, these three choices haven't received the collected edition/omnibus treatment yet...

• Hot Wheels (DC)
  
  
• Red Sonja (Marvel)
  
  
• ROM: SpaceKnight (Marvel)

*Also include any particular writers or artists full run on a particular book

My choice would definitely be Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man from Mantlo/Hannigan (XD)

[Reviresco]

1. Sub-Mariner Silver Age v1
2. Sub-Mariner Silver Age v2
3. Namor 1990 v2
4. Book of Doom v2
5. Publish the Sub-Mariner Epic Collection at least every year, instead of every 2+ years.

A lot of the Marvel horror titles you mention were collections of reprints themselves and a lot of the stories have been collected and released as part of the Atlas Masterworks volumes. A large chunk of Ghosts was collected as part oft he Showcase Presents line though it was in b&W.

Yes I have the Showcase volumes for both The Witching Hour and Ghosts however a bit of colour would add greatly to these stories. As for the Atlas Masterworks are they easy to find and not overpriced. Thanks for the reply @MRP had some nice suggestions.

[Judge Dredd]

Captain Clyde
Spider-Man and Zoids

I actually prefer the horror stuff in b&W, especially when compared to some of the garish colors and muddied effects newsprint paper produced.
