Quote from user: ramapithGemstone also had its own two-issue run of SPRING FEVER. We used the same logo as the Disney Comics version.

"Missing Mummy" paired the Block story with a "Mummy's Ring" reprint, for which Susan Daigle-Leach provided the best color I'd ever seen for it!
I have both of the Spring Fever ones and the Missing Mummy one. My grandpa used to get them for us when they came out, before Gemstone stopped doing Disney comics.

I noticed that you have a lot of BOOM's paperbacks, but not Darkwing Duck. In my opinion, the Darkwing Duck series is the best thing BOOM offered in the short run of publishing Disney comics. Actually I liked it better than most of the original TV episodes. You should check them.

Personally I have about ~65 US comics. In Paperbacks / Hardcovers I have:

Darkwing Duck 1-5
Darkwing Duck Classics 1
DuckTales featuring Scrooge's Quest by Marv Wolfman
Disney's Four Color Adventures 1
Floyd Gottfredson Library 1-4
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories 1-2
Mickey Mouse in Color - Deluxe edition (One of the gems of my collection)
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Companion (BOOM!)
Walt Disney's Mickey and the Gang (Not exactly comic, but still an excellent book)
Walt Disney's Comics and Stories Archives 1
Walt Disney's Christmas Classics
Walt Disney Treasures 1-2

You can see them (along with other non-TPBs) here, in the end of the list

Ignore The Fine Art of Walt Disney's Donald Duck, I have it only on digital copy :) . As for BOOM paperbacks, it's a real pity they didn't manage to complete some series. Ok, obviously I didn't wait WDC&S Archives to publish all of the issues, but Disney's Four Color Adventures would REALLY deserve a second volume, so it can finish the first run of DELL's Disney One Shots. I was also eagerly waiting for the next volumes of Darkwing Duck Classics, but as it seems our DW collection will stay incomplete.

It would be nice if others posted their collections as well.

What is deluxe about the deluxe edition of Mickey Mouse in Color? Same stories with nicer presentation? I have the one with the yellow dust jacket...
I do intend to pick up all of Boom's Darkwing Duck trades, but they are a little hard to find and a little $$ at the moment...

Normal edition is still hardcover, but other than that I think you're right. I'm pretty sure Riddle of the Red Hat was also included in the deluxe edition. Simply for reading purposes, the regular one's fine, unless you're really desperate to get your hands on Riddle of the Red Hat (which there are certainly cheaper means of getting). The deluxe one just has extras, like Rob said.

Azure Blue, If anyone else clicks on your link, it shows their collection instead. You should put the username on the link.

So, I guess this is you collection. Don't worry, it's quality that matters the most, not quantity. And you have some pretty nice comics over there.

As for the deluxe Mickey Mouse in color, check the official Bruce Hamilton page. It is limited to 3.100 copies and each one brings its own individual numbering. It is really oversized (12 ½" x 16 ½" instead of 9" x 11"), and it contains various articles, an interview with Carl Barks & Floyd Gottfredson to Bruce Hamilton, Carl Bark's storyboards from a never published cartoon of Mickey, original signatures from Barks & Gottfredson, a numbered 7-inch vinyl record with a part of the interview, etc, etc.

The trade edition is a very good book and an has an absolute value for money, but the deluxe edition is just on another level. This is why it costs so much more. It is considered more of a collection item, not an actual paperback / hardcover book.

You can also go to inducks to see the difference in contents page by page.

Nice collection, btw. :)

Quote from user: GeoXI would like to also add that the coloring for the daily strips in the MM in Color book is absolutely gorgeous. The Sunday strips are pretty much business-as-usual, but for some reason, the dailies have been given this great, watercolor-ish look of a sort that I have never seen anywhere else in Disney comics. All the content will soon enough be superseded by the Fantagraphics books, but to me, it's worth checking out for that alone.
Amen. It looks absolutely amazing. I think it was a great way to deal with the problem of coloring- sometimes color versions of Gottfredson's stuff just look awkward.

To Joxer, thanks :D

This is stealing, I would feel bad if I only bought it for that much. A perfect purchase actually :)
