1. Krazy Kat dailies -- I mean, come on!
2. Cerebus miscellanea -- i..e everything that didn't make it into the phonebooks, viz. covers, short stories, jams, etc. From the ongoing interview at A Moment of Cerebus, it seems like this is not going to appear any time soon.
3. Alley Oop -- this seems like one of the big omissions from the current re-reprint boom; surely "time-travelling caveman" would go down well with a certain segment of the current marketplace
4. Plastic Man -- you could easily make this list with just Marvel/DC "intellectual properties" that they're bad custodians for; DC's Jack Cole reprints appear to have petered out entirely
5. Jack Kirby/Steve Ditko pre-superhero work for Marvel/Atlas -- see #4. I can buy Eisner's instructional strips, and a separate series for Manara's comics that aren't "erotica"(!), but I can't buy a book full of Kirby monster stories?
