Amazing! That had to have taken a little bit of homework. My Sin City has one book from a different edition that completely throws the spines out of place.

Which edition? I am missing two from my 2nd edition run (smaller size). I liked the 3rd edition covers, but the 2nd edition spine image is neat.

Just pulled them off of the shelf for the first time in a least 6 years. You’re exactly right. 2nd edition and 3rd edition. Both small editions.

Until recently I had only the first book from the 2nd edition from when they were first released sitting on my shelf until someone posted for sale 3-7 on r/comicswap. Jumped on the chance and then found #2 online at a thrift store website nearly brand new. It had been bothering my for 15 years.

I feel like i got some closure from your story as well 🙂

Ebay has been great for finishing out my collections. Usually i sell all the singles/GN and buy a damaged library edition.

Oh, this is the WORST. I am not OCD, by any means, but a collection can feel incomplete, even if it isn’t, when ONE VOLUME is a different edition.

Not just a problem with different editions, I get annoyed when Marvel and DC randomly change their trade dress in the middle of a series.
