Now this is what I'm talking about. Since the start of the Showcase Presents line, I was hoping to see this kind of book published. It's from the 80's, has a great reputation amongst comics fandom and features the work of some of my favorite creators (Giffen, DeMatteis and Ostrander). November won't come fast enough...
