i would love one but i doubt they'd make one.
i have the entire run of 43 issues. i have a print vendor willing to bind them all into 2 large volumes(including the battle files and master and apprentice). my question is should i do it? how much is the entire run worth? should i sell my run and just buy trades instead? my reason is i HATE having to take them out of their bags to read them. it is a pain. |

I can tell you this--if you have them bound, they are worthless.
Any changes you make to a comic render it valueless. I have collected comics for quite some time and have around 6000 in my collection. I have TPBs of the stories I will want to read again and again, so I can keep the originals untouched. The likely hood of an Omnibus of those issues is poor, since IDW now has the rights to the GI Joe comic franchise, this would prevent DDP from reprinting any of their stories, even though they originally published them. Wish I had better news, but........... |

I would go for it.
They aren't worth anything unless your wanting to sell them. You should go to Library Binding dot com. They can bind both volumes for $15 each plus shipping. Then you'll have a nice 2 vol hard cover set |

Sorry it aint the 90s anymore and these aren't the classic 80 stuff either--thus they aint gonna put your kids in college. I'm thinking of binding all the modern stuff myself. I will buy all of IDW trades of the classic Marvel run and I will have those bound in a HC as well. They will look awesome on my shelf. if you want to see what some comic collectors are doing with their collections, go here: http://www.thecomicforums.com/forum2...ic=113911&st=0 if you look at page 3 of the thread, you'll see alot of GI Joe books...and classic stuff at that.

Actually Hasbro owns the rights to the comics that DDP made. If they and IDW want to do trades of that run it will happen.

Hey if you are going to be happy with them bound do it. I only mention the fact that bounding them would devalue them because he asked what the full run was worth. And it's not a lot, most of the issues are crowding dollar bins in any comic shop you go to.

Actually, binding them might bring more value to them. like you said, if the singles clog the $1 or 50 cent bins. If they were in a nice HC with a nice foil die, who knows they would be unique...

They would also be a possible copyright infringement, since only Hasbro has the right to reproduce them.

This is actually a very big movement in comic collecting today--binding comics. I posted a link to a thread that shows the awesomeness of comic book binding. |
