I think they put this out as an omnibus this year.

Ride the Lightning!!! But I don't think Metallica wanted it to look this way.

They did. Now I'm waiting for them to get the rights to reprint stuff like Shogun Warriors.

I have the B&W essential Godzilla collection, that's good enough for me. And yes, I'm also hoping for Shogun Warriors reprints. I have about a half dozen reader copies of the original issues on my spinner rack, but a collection all in one book would be nice.

Odd they had Dr Mid-Nite paired with Batman instead of Batman in this cover. Other than continuity that Batman of Earth 2 had passed away previously. Still seems inconsistent.

Found an excerpt from inside. Bat-Hulk. Um interesting.

Since it's May 4th ...

Anybody ever read this? I was curious about it since I have read the Star Wars Annotated Screenplays book.

Yeah, I read it a long time ago. It's... not very good. More of a curiosity, really, taking the early scripts and melding them with early McQuarrie designs.

The comic book in question is proficiently made -- the writing and art aren't bad by any stretch -- but the early Star Wars drafts are bloated and messy affairs. I remember downloading the early Star Wars scripts from Drew's when I first got internet access and read them. The main impression I was left with is that it's a bloody miracle Star Wars turned out as good as it did. The first draft of Star Wars reads like something an intelligent and ambitious twelve year-old would write.

I had both of those issues and never noticed that.
