Look at all of these wonderful books. I have a ton of comics from 1979, but somehow I don't own a single one of these books. How did that happen? I was young back then, and even something as inexpensive as $3.95 would have seemed outrageous to me. It's too bad that none of these ever ended up under my Christmas tree, though. I'd really love to have that Surfer book. I've admired it for ever, but have never come across a bargain copy. That boxed set of
Origins and
Son of Origins would be pretty sweet, too. I think Marvel has reprinted the
How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way in recent years, as I believe I spotted it recently at an
LCS. I don't know if 1979 has been remembered "for the greatest Art Classics ever" as the hyperbolic text claims, but it should features some pretty cool collections. The thing I love the most, is that Simon &
Schuster picked up the postage. Where's my time machine?
