did one of them get done in colour? Jimmy Olsen perhaps?

yeah, both of jimmy olsen's trades are in colour.

aw two trades? that's too much effort. Goody Rickles'd be in the first one though? I could do with reading that again...

what's esp. annoying abt those b+w new gods trades is that DC have added a gray tint to all the artwork, so that you're not even getting pure unadulterated kirby/royer thrillpower. DC really shld do a new gods archive h/c - the kamandi vol is absolutely gorgeous

b&w tho :(

Yah, argh. Buying up all the Kirby back issues was going to be one of my projects last summer but I temporarily abandoned it. I guess if you don't mind Baxter paper, you could buy the deluxe reissues DC released in the '80s for cheap.

i read kirby stuff differently than other comics somehow

Goody Rickles is (I think) the last two issues of Vol. 1?

Huk is correct.

V1 is better than V2, but only just by a little.

eight months pass...

I am reading the Baxter New Gods reprints right now. CYCLOPEAN!

Is that the giant-sized ~~man-thingz~~ volume? My friendly neighbourhood comics dealer drew my attention to that, but after "Lost Girls" I don't know if I wanna schlepp another one of those home.

no, early-mid 1980s comic-book format reprints (on white paper - Baxter vs Mando vs newsprint etc)

giant-sized volume = eternals

eight years pass...

man, why is Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus Vol. 2 impossible to find? like a mark I picked up Vols 3 and 4 on sale somewhere, but now i need to pick up the first two....

Do what I did: monitor that shit daily on Amazon until you see a price you can live with paying.

I'm generally tired of these series of collections where a single volume goes out of print and skyrockets out of anything resembling a reasonable price range.
