Having grown up a reader and professional, I know a little something about the field and after years assembling collected editions contents, I think I know what makes for an excellent volume.

Collecting Batman Annuals #1-3 (1961-1962). DC Senior VP and Creative Director Richard Bruning calls the early DC Annuals, in his informative Afterword, “the first DC collected editions.” So this is actually a collection of collected editions. Dude, you just totally blew my mind!

So, apparently we were a little short on our caffeine intake when we were putting together the new listings, and a few items (such as Flash: Rebirth #4, DC’s Wednesday Comics, and Dark X-Men: Beginning #1 and a few others) got listed as “Limited Edition – Orders Not Guaranteed”.
What we meant to list them as [...]
