      I haven’t read THE QUESTION: THE FIVE BOOKS OF BLOOD so that’s a sure buy for me.

      I count at least 11 buys on that list.

      And how about Hitman being traded? I’ve been wanting to read it!

      SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SUPER FRIENDS VOL. 1 TP

      @ $9.99 ??? Fradon pencils?

      Totally sold. (Though a second volume with more Schaffenberger work is something I’d be on even more.)

      SHOWCASE PRESENTS: THE CREEPER TP

      Also $9.99. But about half the size of a normal SP. But uncolored Ditko pencils. I’m wavering.

      Everybody buy ‘Hitman’! DC must be convinced to finish the run! Even if they do it by sneakily adding previously uncollected stories to reissued volumes to entice fans to buy it again!
