1) Archie's Super Hero Digest #2
A great book that published a bunch of inventory stories. Art by Neal Adams, Jack Kirby, Gray Morrow, Wally Wood, Al McWilliams and more.

2) Chandler: Red Tide
There were two versions of this groundbreaking Steranko OGN, the first one I owned was the digest version

3) Adventure Comics #495-497
The last dozen or so issues of Adventure Comics were digest sized. These three issues had a three part Challengers of the Unknown adventure by the brilliant Alex Toth. The rest of the issues were rounded out with stories by Adams, Swan, Aparo and more.

4) Tales Of The Incredible
A paperback collection of old EC Comics. Classic stories from the best anthologies ever done in comics. Wrapped in new covers by Frazetta.

5) Sgt. Rock's Prize Battle Tales (DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #7)
