Not a comic, but... Has that gotten pricy or hard to find? It was ubiquitous in used book stores like Half Price Books for several years after it was released, often in their clearance section as they had so many copies of it (both from people selling to the store and from them buying out unsold warehouse stock). If it's gotten pricey, that is surprising to me as it was something I seemed to see everywhere for a long time and sellers couldn't seem to give it away (but there are plenty of comics that was true of al well that are now hot books with skyrocketing price tags). -M

It's nuts; but that's everything, in the used book world, now.

Not a comic, but... The best book, with the worst binding. Ever.

The 3rd party sellers put it on autopilot and let the algorithm set the prices and never check up on them. Which is unfortunate, since they are pricing themselves out of a sale. If there was a good way to contact the seller, I'm sure in most cases they, too, would be shocked that Volume 1 of the Planet of the Apes Archives is $1023 US. Meanwhile, they can't get rid of it.

(...) 5. Rom Spaceknight: If they can find a way to work with the toy company to get rights and money taken care of, I'd like to see this series reprinted. (...) 7. Hostess Ads- This one would be tough to do but literally take all of those Hostess ads and create two volumes; DC and Marvel. Rom is the first one that popped into my head - damn, I'd love for the whole series to be collected in a few affordable Epic-style tpbs.
As for the Hostess ads, I'd be happy with just a Marvel volume. I always thought the art in those was better.
I have always joked that Rom and Micronauts could be solved with a licensing fee, which could probably be raised by a bake sale. It couldn't possibly cost THAT much for Rom... Micronauts, might be a bit pricier and more complicated. But if IDW can fork it over, surely Disney can.

The Starstream material from Gold Key/Western in the 70's... There were 3 or 4 issues, and a trade paperback (The second I had ever seen as a kid, the first being Star Trek from Gold Key). They were adaptations of great Sci Fi stories from different authors, by veteran and up-and-coming artists (Like Jose Garcia-Lopez). EDIT: It looks like the TPB was called Questar, for some reason. I have it, and will have to dig it out of my collection to check. Seeing a collection of the 80's Red Circle stuff would be great. The comics ranged from mediocre to good, but I would love to see them receive some love. Maybe some reprints of the DC Impact! line, also. Some of those series' were great. Same goes for the 90's Defiant material. Some of it was pretty good.

They did put out a collected edition in 2007 with the series and all the specials, but yet another example of now out of print and a bit pricey. Side anecdote...I've got a copy of it that I made the mistake of leaving in a comic box without the lid on, and one of my cats briefly used the top of as a scratching post! They really need to reissue this one.

70s Nova (original Marvel series) would be sweet.

70s Nova (original Marvel series) would be sweet. Marvel did those; but, like everything else, let it go out of print. 3 volumes, titled Nova Classics, in 2013. So, yeah, be nice to reprint them. Really, you could say if Disney/Marvel would just re-issue a big chunk of their trades and keep them available longer. I suppose they figure the digital option has more demand (or they are trying to funnel more traffic to it).
