Cracked Magazine Collections (best of, Star Wars, Superheroes, etc.) Yes x1000.
I would add volumes from Those Cracked Monsters specials; there was not a known movie or TV horror character that Severin could not capture, and often, the issues would use publicity photos from horror and sci-fi movies dating back to the silent era that were so rare, even Famous Monsters of Filmland's rich photo archive could not match some of the Cracked sources.

Original Amethyst in color Captain Carrot in color Micronauts Rom Marvel Godzilla Marvel Shogun Warriors Cracked Magazine Collections (best of, Star Wars, Superheroes, etc.) Blue Devil DC Blue Beetle in color Evanier and Spiegel's Blackhawk Thought of another one... The Sword of the Atom mini series' and specials. Fantastic stuff, and Kane at his best! I have a lot of these in singles, but I’d love nice OHC (or omnis) of all this stuff too. I’d also like Ostrander’s Suicide Squad and Martian Manhunter and Marvel’s G.I. Joe to get omnis.

I mean, where does one start?
I guess for me, I'd like to see DC (in particular) bring a lot of the content they had published in Showcase Presents B & W volumes back into play:
Enemy Ace, Haunted Tank, The Losers, Men of War, Our Army at War, The Unknown Soldier.
And particularly, they need to work on full runs of the Sgt. Rock stories, and I'd love to see the whole run of Weird War Tales and the non-Hex Weird Western Tales/All-Star Western stories get reprinted.
I wasn't really into the Western and War stories when DC was putting the Showcase volumes out and I wish I had been.

Plop! In fact I'm really surprised they haven't already, Great material poking fun at their line by great creators.
FOOM is a bit of a long shot aa a lot of it is outdated news, but there are some features and artwork which a lot of fans would be interested in.
Charlton Premiere would be a bit of a long shot as the rights are with some of the original creators' estates I believe, but it's a great anthology with a lot of what people love about the old company. Include the one-shot "Unlikely Stories" which was originally going the be the fourth issue.

Another one that forgot to mention that deserves a full trade, All-Star Squadron. It's kind of sad that Marvel has reprinted the Invaders faster than DC has All-Star Squadron

I'd also love to see somebody (Marvel perhaps?) do something with the Simpsons.
Give me some Epic Sized collections of the Bongo series, especially the various one shots and mini-series. Heck, throw in the Futurama Comics as well.

Philippe Druillet's Lone Sloane 66 : Le mystère des abîmes. The mystery of the abyss is an early work by Druillet, introducing his famous character Lone Sloane. I never read it, but as I understand it features an early version of Sloane that doesn't quite fit with the character we meet in The 6 voyages of Lone Sloane or Delirius. Being "out of continuity", so to speak, it's a book that was not reprinted again and again like most of Druillet's remaining opus. Which is why I want it!!!

Sadly, you'll never see an official Cracked reprint, the print archives were destroyed as a result of the 2001 anthrax attacks. Even so, its possible to use the published material as the source. I would still buy that. FOOM is a bit of a long shot aa a lot of it is outdated news, but there are some features and artwork which a lot of fans would be interested in. Sure its outdated, but relevant as a historical account of how Marvel operated at the time--same with The Amazing World of DC Comics. If both were reprinted as collections, they'd guaranteed sale to me!

Sure its outdated, but relevant as a historical account of how Marvel operated at the time--same with The Amazing World of DC Comics. If both were reprinted as collections, they'd guaranteed sale to me! I have digital of both, plus the Comics Journal, Amazing Heroes and Comics Interview. The news is dated, but the features hold up and the news helps put things into historical perspective. I've utilized some of that in my reviews, such as my Other Guys thread, when I discussed Malibu. The Journal was invaluable for background on Scott Rosenburg and the various entities that ultimately made up Malibu Comics, after they were consolidated. The two issues of the Comic book Artist, about Charlton, gave me a wealth of material and background, as did the Harvey comics issue and their Atlas/Seaboard issue. Comics Interview had stuff with all kinds of people who never got interviewed in the bigger fanzines, like Leslie Zahler, the colorist on American Flagg and Howard Chaykin's ex-wife. George Perez did a long, in depth interview with them for their 50th issue, covering the JLA-Avengers mess, plus his early work at Marvel and his coming to DC and working for both, for a period. FOOM and Amazing World had some great behind-the-scenes photos of creators and production people, plus the offices and things like that. I think there would be a definite market of both FOOM and Amazing World print collections. Comics Interview put out at least a couple of volumes collecting some of their material. TwoMorrows did some collections of Comic book Artist and the Kirby Collector.

I used to have a complete set, as a kid. My aunt picked them up at a yard sale for a quarter each, and I didn't see the value in them since they weren't "comics", and god rid of them. WHAT A FOOL! I DIDIN'T DESERVE THEM!

There are a few... the Comedy of John Severin, and The Comedy of Jack Davis, but they are both from EARLY Cracked (which are probably public domain). I believe the actual copyrights lie with the website Cracked, if anyone. Although at the time, post anthrax, when Cracked sold its name, I don't know if the back catalog was even part of the sale. It all may be public domain, for all I know. I would love to see collections from the 70's and 80's material.

I'd be willing to settle for a collection of the Peter Bagge material from the mid-80s run (Loved the Uggly Family).

I want affordable Blueberry reprintings!
Since Marvel has been delivering up some "complete" collections of lower tier characters how about: Red Wolf, Ghost/Night Rider, Black Knight, furry Beast from his transformation to some Avengers stuff along with any 1 shots or mini-series like his Dazzler teaming. Maybe collecting early Squadron Sinister/Supreme stories together? Maybe some villains like a Frightful Four or Blastaar or Leader or Abomination or Dormammu collection? Sunfire appearances would be cool. Ultron 1 through 7 would be fun. Kang the Conqueror collection through time anyone? A Ditko Spidey Villains 1st appearances trade would be sweet. Same for Romita created villains. A Wonder Man from his origin to rebirth and appearances in any 1 shots or mini's. A Jack of Hearts through his start in black and white to 1 shots and guest starrings? A Stingray collection and a Tigershark collection? What about all the Hawkeye stories in Solo Avengers being collected together?
Am I thinking to eclectic?
