Star Wars Treasury Ad - 1977

While looking through an old issue of Pizzazz magazine, I found this ad for the first two Star Wars treasury comics Marvel released as their adaptation of the film.

The phrase "Now available on newsstands" still gets my heart beating faster...

Wednesday Comics Collected Ad

New Ad! Running in DC's July-cover dated books is this ad for the collected edition of Wednesday Comics. I cannot wait to get my hands on this baby!

Measuring at 11x17", this book will feature all the strips in one place, as well as unseen "filler" one-shot strips like Plastic Man and The Creeper!

The Mystery of the Missing Man of Steel - 2010

Sorry the Treasury Blog has been quiet for so long; there just hasn't been much to discuss!

But all that's over thanks to TreasuryFriend Graeme Burk, who sent me a link to an article from The New York Times, all about this iconic painting of The Man of Steel that went mysteriously missing.

Of course, treasury fans know this piece as the cover to Limited Collectors' Edition #C31, which is even mentioned in the piece.

Good catch, Graeme, and thanks!

Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali--Again!

News! DC Comics reported yesterday some exciting treasury-related news: in Fall 2010 they will be reprinting the classic Superman vs. Muhammad Ali book, in two formats: one a "deluxe hardcover edition featuring an expanded sketch section and additional content with a new cover by Adams", which sounds pretty cool.

But I'm more jazzed about this version: "a limited edition hardcover in the original trim-size with the complete, original cover of the landmark issue." Yes!

No prices yet, but it's bound to be expensive. No matter; there's no way I'm not getting this!
