I just got this from a LCS. Did anyone
else pick this up. It has the first two
stories from Lee/Kirby, a story or two
with Buscema art and JB Galactus stories
to round it out. The darn thing is as big
as a twice up, artist edition. Then you
get to the price tag, fifty bucks.
Considering the the size of this thing
it's quite a bargain. Definitely my
favorite comicbook buy in a while.

Mr Churay, I own it.

I wasn't entirely sure I'd read the middle stories prior to buying this, but glad I got up to speed.

It's my life's work to read every Galactus story.

Got a comp, when asked for. Beautiful package (and very flattering, of course!). Definitely a case of Don’t Drop It On Your Foot.

When I saw pictures of how big it was online, I had to have it. 

According to the box it came in, it weighs 12.6 pounds. 

All it needs is legs (ala Kramers coffee table book about coffee tables) and it could be it's own table, lol.

Guys, is this collection on glossy paper, or is it flat?  I really don't like the glossy paper, too shiny - love the old newsprint.  Thanks!

The paper has a sheen to it, but it's not full on glossy.
