  • My lcs was supposed to get it today, but he often has problems with his supplier where he doesn't receive some titles the day that they are supposed to get there. Hopefully when he does get them he will have one for me.

    Picked up a couple myself. Thought the same thing. Doesn't look like they'll fit in Golden Age either. Sad

    Yeah I have them as well, not sure if I found bags big enough or not...haven't looked at them in years.

  • Regarding size, I recently found an interview as to possibly why they decided to go this route...

    How early in the process did the idea come along to publish these issues in the Golden Age format? Did that change how any of you tackled your portion of the story?

    Rossmo: The format didn't change my approach much -- it just gave me more room to move, have bigger panels, etc.

    Manning: Honestly, as a rule, I'm not a big fan of oversized books. In this case, however, I'm really excited Riley's art is going to be displayed in a big and glorious fashion. His art is the kind that all but begs for this kind of format.

  • No not that. I pulled it out, it's called Bad Boy by oni press. I loved the big guy and rusty cartoon sometime ago

  • I have Bad Boy, but I don't remember it being over-sized...hmmm, must be getting old.

  • it was rereleased by another company for the 10th anniversary, that may have been normal size.

  • Bad boy was a Simon Bizley book with frank Miller. It was re released as a hard cover by dynamite. Thats the format I have it in. The original was oversized but not golden aged format

  • I have the original, it's funny the cover price is $4.99, it's funny because when it came out I remember thinking that costs a lot and wasn't sure if I should get it because of the price.
    Now just 2 days ago I bought a comic that had a $7.99 cover price.
    sad, sad
