Second – this is Marvel’s way of “proving” that while people claimed that they wanted the Marvelman material, “the marketplace” will show that they really didn’t. I don’t have a problem with reprinting the B&W material, but it should be an Essential volume, not a horribly, grossly overpriced hardcover. Anybody who read the reprints that Eclipse put out back in the day will attest that a little bit of the original Marvelman material goes a LOOOOOONG way.
]]>The phrase “making-the-Lorax-weep-at-the-waste-of-trees” has seemed almost constantly applicable when reading about big American comics publishers’ products, ever since I first read said phrase on this blog. (Which wasn’t that long ago, but it also seems retroactively applicable for years into the past. heh.)
