Since I heard the horrible news that DC decided to cancel the final trade in the R.E.B.E.L.S. (2009) series I was irate, but after some cooling down I decided to just collect all of the issues and have my own hard cover collection made. After procuring the issues from random comic shops while on vacation, a few awesome customers (Omar this includes you), and Comics Conspiracy and Illusive Comics back issue bin I shipped them off to get bound.
Here are a few snap shots of the wonderfully constructed single volume, which collects issues 1 - 28 and the Annual. I can't wait to dive in and enjoy this series again and actually finish it this time around.
I am very happy with this volume and I can't wait to send in more titles to get bound. In fact I already have one lined up I just have to figure out how I'm going to do the cover gallery in the back of the volume. Stay tuned for more.
Very cool. How many bound books do you now have?
ReplyDeleteSo far two: Booster Gold (1980's) and R.E.B.E.L.S. (2009). I'm planning on getting some more. Got one lined up to go I just need to figure out how to work the extra covers.
DeleteWould you care if I asked you how much something like this costs? Does the price vary depending on how many issues are bound?
DeleteBoth my Booster Gold and R.E.B.E.L.S. trades contained about 29 issues and it cost with tax and shipping about $30 each.
Deletelooks really great!
ReplyDeleteNot cheap but pretty reasonable price I'd say. I like that retro DC logo!
ReplyDelete...Looks like they have "hide-a-books". Finally, a place to stash my porn!
...actually, a shelf full of comics is enough to keep just about any girlfriend away like kryptonite.
DeleteIf she doesn't like your collection them it was never meant to be and yes they do look like hide-a-books.
