That kind of takes me back to the 48-page, 52-page and 100-page issues of the early 1970's. And also the
LIMITED COLLECTORS' EDITIONs and FAMOUS FIRST EDITIONS.
For me there was always a magic to these reprint (or partial reprint) issues, a window to an earlier era in comics, before I was old enough to buy and read them.
A really organized line of reprints were the
MILLENNIUM EDITION reprints of 1999-2000. the first time a lot of those FAMOUS FIRST EDITIONS were reprinted in a regular comic size.
The last reprint series I recall picking up were the
COUNTDOWN SPECIAL collections, circa 2008. I picked up the Kirby JIMMY OLSEN, OMAC (Kirby, Starlin and Perez stories), and Infantino FLASH collections, possibly others.
It's fun to see some of these classics re-appear every few years, re-packaged in new collections for a new era of readers. Too bad this more recent batch suffered from something of an "implosion".
