Still, plenty of books out there collecting reproductions of printed pages from collectors' copies of various comics/comic-books. I'd like to see Ken Reid's Queen of the Seas collected. Well, I'd like to see tons of strips collected, but I think that one might appeal to marginally more than the handful of us who would buy the rest.<br />We really need Chris Ware, Ken Parille and Jeet Heer to write about these comics for anyone but the real connoisseurs to look twice at them.Kib Lloydhttp://bumperfunspecial.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-58124105148935484122014-09-01T05:28:12.084+01:002014-09-01T05:28:12.084+01:00Sweeny Toddler is/was my favourite strip, bar none...Sweeny Toddler is/was my favourite strip, bar none. I would love to see a book collecting Sweeny strips. I see how much DCT release in the way of Beano & Dandy reprints and wonder where all the Fleetway/IPC stuff is. I'd also love a collected Leopard from Lime Street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-65974575828968089302014-01-10T05:10:09.079+00:002014-01-10T05:10:09.079+00:00Interestig idea for a post!

I wonder who wrote for Tom before you? Did he work from his own scripts?<br />I am completely with you about album form reprints and can think of at least 10 srips/characters that I would like to see collected editions of but the big question is - are there enough buyers out there to make it worth the publishers' while... Speaking of Sweeny, I suspest a complete collection would come close to a thousand pages or maybe more!Irmantashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291067561616131559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-88206268631885954942013-08-10T22:30:10.544+01:002013-08-10T22:30:10.544+01:00I wrote Sweeny from "Judge Sweeny" until...I wrote Sweeny from "Judge Sweeny" until the late 80's. I drew a handful (Sweeny on the Farm, Dad's New Car, Treacle and a couple of others) then left when Tom was replaced. I consciously avoided corporal punishment, and substituted the far - more - fiendish psychological variety. Tom and I shared responsibility for the marginal nonsense, which separated Sweeny from other strips. I'd love to see these and many other strips in album form. It's such a shame today's readers haven't much chance to see them.
