| I love hardcovers. They’re my favorite way to read the stories I collect in single issues, particularly massive omnibuses. I’ve had a few books custom bound collecting stories or ouvres that haven’t been collected officially. Marvel’s The End line of books:  Garth Ennis’ various Nick Fury mini-series’:  A custom-bound Fables set for a friend:    A couple of Christmas presents:   |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics I think it's can be a good idea to collect interesting sets when the individual issues are overprinted and don't hold a lot of value by themselves. Here's a set of Unity bound.  |

 Pictures? We don't need no stinking pictures.

| My favorite Hardcover of all-time is Batman From the 30's to the 70's. I recently found a near perfect copy on eBay, seller said he bought it from an estate sale where it was sitting on a shelf with other Batman books. Absolutely no bends or dings on the dust jacket and the actual book is perfect with bright white pages! I never thought I would find a copy in such nice condition & I had been searching for years. I used to own this as a kid so it had special memories for me. The actual book looks better in person, photos show scuff marks that I cannot see with the naked eye.   |

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 I think it’s fun as it lets you recontectualize the stories within the covers of the collection to create something unique, kind of like the comic book version of a mix-tape. For example, the Kingpin book I showed above:  I started the collection with the Kingpin mini-series, which focuses on a young Wilson Fisk. I followed that with the Kingpin arc from the Punisher MAX series, where Fisk, then a mob enforcer, convinces the bosses to create a fictional Kingpin to draw out the Punisher. He double crosses the bosses, letting the Punisher decimate their numbers and adopting the role of Kingpin himself. After that, I have the original two-issue first-appearance from ASM (via Marvel Tales reprints) where a fully-realized Kingpin confronts Spider-Man. Then is the one-issue Severance Package from Tangled Web that gives you a view of the Kingpin’s organization from the inside. Finally, the book ends with Daredevil: Born Again which basically culminates with the fall of the Kingpin. |

Great idea for a thread! To start off I'll post a HC loosely connected with comic books and proceed from there.   One of the most highly prized serial lovers collectibles is the oversized self-published ltd. ed. HC, Valley of The Cliffhangers, an ode to Republic Pictures chapterplays authored in the mid-70's by lifelong serial fan Jack Mathis...   . |

     I only have a handful because I really don't know where to store them. Maybe when I get that bookcase built... |

Another rare two volume hardcover set is this 1980's slipcase edition of S&K's first ten issues of Captain America that was pulled immediately after publication due to several creatively obscene color doodles added to interior panel art that somehow slipped past the editors...    . |

| My favorite hardcover!!! It's signed by the writer, David Morrell. He is normally a novel writer and his best known work is "First Blood". That's right, he is Rambo's father!!! A friend of mine, that I met through the CBCS Collector's Club on Facebook brought it to a book signing that Mr. Morrell was at. He got this and several other Marvel comics that Mr. Morrell wrote, plus a couple novels [including my first edition copy of "First Blood"], signed for me. I also sent this book to Mitch Breitweiser and he autographed it and did a Cap remark inside. He also surprised me by sending back a watercolor piece he did of Cap.      |

| I am fond of the signed books - some of these guys either never come to Toronto or charge way too much to get to see them! When I bought the spidey book Stan was in his 80's and had never been here! Who knew he would come like 3 times before he was 90?           |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_OThanks! That one was made as a gift for a cousin of mine who was in the navy at the time and stationed in Japan at the time. He is also a big Wolverine fan. I’m really happy with how the book came out as well though I am really upset that i wasn’t able to get the Kitty Pryde & Wolverine mini-series in there  It doesn’t really have as much of a narrative as the Kingpin book but it includes the Wolverine mini-series, the Logan mini-series, Back In Japan, 5 Ronin, and the Permament Rage arc from Wolverine Max |
