Startling Comics would be one interesting rich in characters series to do in whole issues or a FIRST & BEST OF archives volumes, is has so many heroes in there, it would be one real rich golden age collection, with Captain Future, Dr. X, G-Man Dalton, Mystico, Scoop Langdon, Masked Rider, Detective Sgt. Burke, Fighting Yank, Ace Buckley, Biff Powers, Pyroman, Four Comrades, Don Davis, Space Detective Featuring Lance Lewis, Tygra, Jefferson Jones...

Found these Scarab pages

But the Alex Ross design looks so darn cool

Those seem to be my Scarab scans, but they're much larger if you actually go to my web site:

This Project Superpowers and all related seems like some pretty hot stuff, with Dark Horse's Green Lama golden age Reprint as well

What next, Marvel killing off Matt Murdock and replacing him with the original Daredevil :D

From Blind to Mute, Sticks or Boomerangs, Who’s the knockiest off one of all? :)

The Green Lama archives volume 1 (Complete Green Lama Featuring Art Of Mac Raboy) from Dark Horse is finally out for those that only Dynamite brought back in an interesting way. Forget this AC Comics shameful $6.95 black & white Green Lama new issue #0, which is 100% trashcan material souly designed for title right purposes for a very much public domain character. But this golden age Green Lama hardcover golden age volume 1, with the future possibility of a second, now this is fun stuff. It is not a book with fully re-colored art restoration, but I would rather have that than nothing at all if you ask me, considering the rarity; and like many golden age Marvel Masterworks, it is a collection of issues in full including all backup stories and texts which I welcome, and all this with an interesting foreword by Chuck Rozanski. The paper quality is A-1 excellent, as the book assembly made up of folded page section with sutures and glued together, with under the dust jacket a simili black leather finish

product code: (DEC070067) or (ISBN-10: 1-59307-942-7) or (ISBN-13: 978-1-59307-942-0)

I could go for the second and final hardcover Green Lama volume from DH, and still hopes someone will have a similar hardcover effort for other old classic golden age comic books with the Black Terror, Daredevil, The Shadow Comics, Doc Savage Comics, Green Hornet Comics, The Arrow, Wonder & Wonderworld Comics with Wonder Man and continuing with The Flame, as well as old classic golden age newspaper strips like The Phantom, Blondie, and other

Now I don't know if this on is official yet or if Amazon is jumping the gun a little but there might be a volume 2 concluding the run, coming up in December 2008; if so, I'm buying it
