Tell me your favorite collected comic anthologies - IE collections of material that weren't/wasn't* released in order, like the Fireside "Origins" books or the Smithsonian Comics book.
Also can anyone point me to a chronological list of Marvel and DC Trade Paperbacks/Hardcovers? I believe the Fireside books were first, but I was wondering what came after those.
* I am unsure of the grammar.

"Batman From the 30's to the 70's" was my favorite Batman collected edition when I was much younger. Not sure if this was the first hardcover book to reprint Batman stories, but it came out around 1975 (?). It was mainly in B&W but had some glossy color pages as well. There was a Superman book that was printed around the same time but I never owned that.  |

Actually the first two DC Collected Editions were Picture Stories From the Bible from 1943 and 1945You can get a list of DC and Marvel Collections here. The list can be sorted by release date. |

Oh, cool, that's awesome. It only lists paperback originals though, correct? Like there's nothing for the 1979 America At War: The Best of DC War Comics, because it was originally released in hardcover?

Like there's nothing for the 1979 America At War: The Best of DC War Comics, because it was originally released in hardcover? The list does include both hardcover and softcover editions. However, the Fireside stuff wasn't released by DC directly so those are not included in that list. The same thing applies to the Crown/Harmony releases like Superman from the Thirties to the Seventies or the 1972 Holt Wonder Woman book. If you want those included in the search: Go here. Then enter: HC in the number field and click "Search", it will list all the hardcover editions which can then be sorted by release date. You can do the same thing for softcovers and trades by entering SC or TPB in the number field. |

An excellent collection that I have continued to reread ever since I received it as a gift in 1972 (second printing). Great choice! |
