    Wow! No I do not have that I think I am confusing it with a Winter special they had once. I think I actually stopped going to comic stores at this time. Crisis happened and I was too old for comics. This must have looked like comics from Mars. It must have been LCS available only.

    From the Hall of Justice come these tales of the Justice League of America, inspired by their hit 1970s animated TV series.
    In these 1970s tales, the entire Justice League of America assembles to battle evil in the form of Queen Hippolyte, the Riddler, the Ocean Monster and many more. These tales are written by DC editor and historian E. Nelson Bridwell with art by classic DC artist Ramona Fradon, best known for her work on AQUAMAN and METAMORPHO.

    Collects Super Friends #1-26, Aquateers Meet the Super Friends #1 and Limited Collectors’ Edition #C-41."

    From what I see on Amazon, this collection (which was postponed) is now going to be released this month (6/9) and the cover has changed.





    There is also going to be a Volume 2 that will collect the rest of the series, issues #27 - #47. This is the current cover, but since the first one changed, this one may as well. According to Amazon, volume 2 is due out mid December.

    Yeah, pretty sure all Vertigo books were Direct Market only.

    I prefer the original covers vs. generic photoshop modern.

    Any thoughts on the Garth Ennis Hellblazer? I am loving the Collins Swamp Thing. I read Veitchs Maxi-Mortal and his sidekicks book. Truly strange stuff I want to read his Swamp Thing! He’s a real creator!

    I think Veitch's ST was pretty interesting. He had a lot of good ideas, even when (I assume) he had to tie into the Invasion! event. Doug Wheeler was terrible either. A little wordy and silly at times but I felt like he was also real creative and imaginative.

    Are you talking about solicitations that don’t show what the final cover will look like?

    Wheeler's run had some of the most beautiful painted covers I've ever seen on a monthly basis; Swamp Thing or otherwise. It's just too bad the contents didn't always measure up to the package...

    I don't fully remember some covers. Isn't big brain Swampy one of those covers? I'm always a sucker for those dreamy pastel covers myself. The Sandman/Black Orchid type art. Gorgeous

    I know they have been a mess with what is coming out and then cancelling books, but do we have a list of what is upcoming for DC omnibus?

    Sorry - I wasn't very clear after rereading my post. I meant I prefer the Omni's/HC's that use original floppies cover art vs. modern day art, or worse, a Photoshop cut and paste job that the Superfriends book appears to have.
