In any event, here's some titles I would love to see reprinted/collected. I know some of these had some reprintings back in the 1970s, but I don't believe any of them were complete. And I also know there are some rights issues which will keep at least one of these titles from EVER being reprinted! But that said, here's what I want to see, in no particular order...
- Quincy (Ted Shearer's newspaper strip did get some paperback collections in the '70s, but this needs a big, retrospective reprinting.)
- Speed Jaxon (We got Jay Jackson's Bungleton Green in late 2022 and he was inducted in the Comics Hall of Fame in 2023, so maybe there's a chance here?)
- The Rose & Thorn backup stories from the early 1970s Lois Lane comics
- Gordo
- Alice (Two issue series from 1951, mostly by Dave Berg. Yes, the same one who did those "Lighter Side of..." comics in Mad. A couple of the short Alice stories were included in other collections, but the majority of them remain unreprinted.)
- Ron Cobb's editorial cartoons (Many of these were collected back in the '70s, but they remain timeless and warrant a nice, hardbound collected edition.)
- Willie Lumpkin (Stan Lee's & Dan DeCarlo's newspaper strip)
- Air Pirates Funnies (I know this is so legally impossible that no one is ever going to attempt it, but I can dream...)
- John Tenniel's editorial cartoons
- John Severin's work for Cracked magazine
