We all have trade paperback (TPB) collections we'd like to see. Here's one of mine:

JLApe seems sort of silly (although eclipsed in absurdity byMarvel Apes) but I like that it's all one story, and I've always wanted to read the whole thing. I can go for a little bit of absurdity every now and again.

For the cover, although I've always liked Superman Annual #11, I think the cover to JLA Annual #3 would be a better choice, as it shows the ape forms of the JLA.

Thanks again!

No.  It just seed silly to me.  I only buy trades of books I really love and plan to read more than once so I don't wreck the issues.  I do have some of these issues but haven't read them all yet.  The ones I have are not that good.

" @cbishop: Things like this I but at conventions.  I have my nine pulls and then everyone in a while I go to a convention and buy a few cases.  You can still get comics for about a quarter a piece in the same condition you would get them from your pull.  I always look around every booth and come back to the diamond in the rough dealer who is willing to make a deal if I buy a case or more.  Buy the time I'm done I have usually bought vast amounts of great books in great condition.  That I only paid around a quarter a piece for.  I own over 5,000 books and have read about 4,000 of them.  Some I have read a few times times.  Depending how good they were.  This is the best way to buy books.  Sometimes I will have to find an issue to fill a series but I can get just about anything by saveing my money and making a large purchase at one time.  I had no or little interest in the ape stories so that is why I haven't gone nuts about getting them."

" @cbishop:   wow 3x my collection.  Mine is an estimate as well.  I know I have between 250-275 comic a case So I just multiplied my cases by 250..."

" @cbishop:   ...Here is the real question.  How much have you read =] "

No, but my girlfriend absolutely would.  She reads and rereads my "Chimpulse" issue again and again.

No I agree, I rank Gorilla Grodd higher than most Flash fans I think, and I love fun gimmicky issues like Pet Avengers... but if I recall correctly, not all of these ape stories were "fun" per se... it was a pretty straight-faced story taking the concept slightly too seriously?  It's been a long time so I could be recalling wrong.

I was actuallly talking about this crossover with a pal earlier and lamenting the lack of a paperback. I'd buy it.

The site redesign had messed this blog up for a bit, and I couldn't get into it to edit it. So for a brief time, I had redone this blog as a list, and these are the comments from that list (the list is now deleted):

We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog comments. -cb

This is somewhat out of the blue feeling. Good.

@kfhrfdu_89_76k: Why does it feel out of the blue? I was finally able to get into the blog to edit it (I had been locked out of it since the site redesign). So I edited it, and added the comments from the list I had made to replace this blog (see just above your comment).

I wasn`t expecting the comments dude! BTW, I like the new touches on your avatar pic.

@kfhrfdu_89_76k: I try to keep everything lol. Yeah, I think I'm going to bounce back-and-forth between the Dick Tracy pic and this one, which I have dubbed "Dark Tracy." muah-ha-ha-ha-haaaa.
