People have been asking constantly when Skybound would get around to reprinting the older comics, and we finally have an answer. In the letters page for Duke #3, editor Sean Mackiewicz mentions in one response that Skybound will be reprinting the entirety of Larry Hama's A Real American Hero comics in compendium format starting this fall. (He also says that Skybound would have announced this news before the issue came out, but... they didn't. Oops.)
EDITING to add confirmed details for Compendium 1: October 1/2 release date, $64.99, ISBN 9781534371507, 1,168 pages, collects A Real American Hero #1-50. Last edited by AutoDecept; 02-28-2024 at 01:16 PM.. |

A solicitation for the first book has shown up in the Previews catalog. $64.99, October 2 release date, no listing of what's in it (though these Image compendiums all usually contain around 48-50 issues).

Skybound didn't announce it yet, but Diamond did! Coming out in October, issues 1-50. Not hardcover or oversized (it seems) though. Bummer.

$65 and not hardcover? Is that common for comics? (I just got back into reading them, mostly on the back of Joe.)

Many publishers do omnibus in both formats - hardcover and paperback - but the price is obviously higher for hardcover. In comparison, the IDW collections were about 10 or so issues for $25 paperback, and the hardcover were around $50 for maybe 15 issues? They only did 7 or 8 hardback but they were advertised as "complete" - inserting some of the later stories meant to add to or fill in the blanks between joe comics. Considering inflation and the comic industry today, $65 for 50 issues is not a bad deal. I would bet it will be closer to $100 for hardback.

To be honest I would have preferred smaller deluxe editions in HC with extra content. Although I suppose we might get the ol' double-dip depending on how this one sells. |
