Goddamn weeks! One hell of an impressive collection of books!
Well, for me both treatments have their advantages. My first exposure to the EC stuff was through a childhood friend of mine back in the early 80s who was a huge fan. He had some of the originals and a bunch of reprints. I fell in love with the garish coloring and I feel that's ultimately the way the artwork was intended to be presented. Otoh, I think it mostly looks pretty great in B&W too and I also like the background/historical write-ups in the fantagraphic books. In the EC Archives you get the full issues of the comics...the story quality is up and down but you get the letter pages and adverts and so forth and that's always entertaining to me (oh, not to mention you get the covers in the archives as well of course).

Judging by another picture that was posted earlier it looks the exact same height as the Library Editions. So I'm guessing this new line of Stuff from Dark Horse must be their super oversized Omnibus editions. Right? It collects as many issues as an Oversized Omnibus, but it's as tall as a Library Edition. First Colossal Conan, now Big Damn Sin City is coming out and it's got even MORE pages then the Conan book!! Wonder what else Dark Horse is going to release.
Awesome collection, James!
Warren Ellis tweeted earlier that Vertigo informed him that Transmetrolpolitan would be released in 5 hardcovers in the "near future". That's all the info he had. Im assuming these will be in the deluxe format Vertigo has been using lately. Can't wait.
