So in sorting through what remains after the great purge and putting together all the stuff I bought from cons and shops this year, I discovered I am only 1 issue away from completing Savage Sword of Conan, not 2 as I thought. I apparently picked up #205 at some point in the past year but forget to mark it off.
I so need to go through my lists again once I get the comic room remodel done and make sure there are not other omissions or errors moving forward.

After the move into the Hondominium, I too am finally going to get this done.
Sorting
Alphabetizing
Eliminating duplicates (I remember finding 4 different copies of one issue)

Tnis may be heretical, but I'm not a big fan of Eisner's post-Spirit material. He was patently a master of the comic form, but I think his sweet spot can be found in those B&W Kitchen Sink Spirit reprints - that's the best format & best material to showcase his talent. Were they originally in colour? They do look good in black and white - unlike, IMO, most comics intended to be printed in colour - but I think I'd prefer to read them in a format as close to the original as possible. I plan to get more into the Spirit soon, along with some other stuff from the mid to late 1940s.

Yes they were originally in color, though most of the comic or magazine reprints, up until DC's hardcover reprints, were in black and white.

To my mind, those KS reprints are the absolute gold standard for The Spirit- the larger format gives the art "room to breathe" and the good quality printing reveals the art, whereas the colour versions are done in the flattest of golden age colouring and in most cases, look like crap, IMHO.

There's a new Bloom County collection that comes with 2 pieces of original art and a personalized sketch. Pretty cool, although it costs $1200. I'm a big Bloom County Fan and I've looked at it and I wished it was down to $700 to $900 range and it's looks very cool and I'm afraid it is out of my price range and all that. I was tempted ....
