Hi folks!
I’m new to the forums and you seem like the people to ask. I’ve been a collector of Batman trades for just over 20 years now, so I think I own most of the essentials but I’m also sure there are many that I’m missing!
So my question for you is:
Are there any other essential or obscure collections you would suggest I track down?
