How I’d Spend $50 At This Year’s Top Shelf Discount Sale
I already own these books, but I like to spy on the Top Shelf $3 sale and see how many good comics I could buy for $50. This is my list this year: original price on one side of the slash, discounted price on the other. I even have a bit of room to spare.
You can go here and make your own choices.
There's a lot of good work for sale that I'm not listing, as I'm favoring getting as much work as I can, and as much work as I fear will never be reprinted, over making really fine distinctions in terms of quality. Still, I'd go on vacation with this picnic basket full of comics. Any time. The thought that you can have that Eddie Campbell book -- some of the best comics ever -- for $8 in
hardcover freaks me out a bit. This list is also a reminder of some of the admirable artists they've published over the years, with varying levels of success.
