I picked this up the other day from the bargain bin and have been really impressed. The mysteries are tight and short and Silver Agey as fuck, Infantino's art is as fantastic as ever and the Dibney's relationship is really unique and depicted well.

Can anyone recommend other great cheapo Big 2 volumes that may get overlooked? Stuff from:

>Marvel Essentials
>Marvel Ultimate Collections
>DC Showcase Presents

Not the obvious Kirby F4 or Claremont X-Men runs.

For the DC showcase Presents

Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld
Captain Carrot

The horror and war anthologies can be great, but pretty sure most of them are out of print and expensive

I can't believe how good the Showcase Jonah Hex collections are. I would consider them essential to any collection

>Phantom Stranger

This was good for the Neal Adams art but the Dr. 13 comics were awful

What is the quality like on the Epic Collections?

I know they're replacing the Essentials altogether and they have that smart number system and full color

It seems comparable to the other older Marvel collections I have. Not super glossy

Crisis of Conscience was a great story though.
