    I am writing a check as I speak. I’ll just leave the amount blank

    Life is officially worth living now.

    Holy!
    This is way beyond awesome! :)

    Oh my God… I need it.

    Hmmm, at first I wasn’t sure if I was interested, but it’s looking very tempting.

    A couple questions.

    Will it be in color?

    Will it include the strips from the 1970′s Daily Planet page?

    According to Amazon, this collection will only be $16.49… So I’m assuming it’s black and white, like all the other phone book collections. So sad.

    You know Liefeld’s pumped…

    Most of Hembeck’s work during this time was in B&W, so it’s no big shake that it’s in B&W.

    This is incredibly awesome. I’ve read a lot of this stuff, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the complete book. A must buy for any fan of, well, fandom (at least superhero fandom).

    Long overdue. It’s essentially everything he’s ever done, minus the work published directly by Marvel and DC. Anyone who’s never seen his Dateline: @#$%! strip is in for a good time (and so are the people who have seen it, too!).

    Just the other day I mentioned to a friend that I missed Hembeck. Can’t wait!
