ucking thing is going to get back on…
OH! WE’RE BACK!
HI! I was just, uh, talking with Glenn about the razor-sharp efficiency of our host, the power outtage that was solved in short order with the restoration of every board except this one, and the e-mails for help to our host that were apparently ignored. All hail the host.
Oy. WHY are we doing this again?
So…lots of folks are telling me with great excitement about DC’s announcing at the Chicago Con that they’re going to “poll the retailers” regarding a collection of “Atlantis Chronicles,” as if this is going to lead to a TPB. Except no one seems to recall that they’ve made this announcement repeatedly for the last decade. Lemme ‘splain how it works: Fans tell DC that they want to see a collection. DC then asks a small cross-section of retailers who give them one of three responses: (a) No one’s asked for it; (b) I’ve still got copies in my back-issue bin; (c) What’s that? And the talk of collecting a series that’s probably some of the best comics work I’ve ever produced dies until the next round of dead-end discussion pops up.
To be honest, DC has been saying there’s no demand for so long that my guess is they don’t dare bring it into print simply because if it *does* sell, they look like schmucks.
It was, however, collected in two volumes in Italy a few years back. So if you can speak Italian, you’re all set.

I’m Italian and own them… just curious t kow how you came to know of the existence of that 2 volumes…
During your recent trip here in italy or are you saying that you were informed by the italian publisher ( I would be amazed) ?!?
Hi,
oo
Hi, I’m Italian too, and I remember PAD commenting on our Italian edition in his postface to Spyboy #1 (The Italian edition).
Still I wish there were an American TPB too, my copy is going to pieces, and so are all my friends’ copies… a new one would be great!
Well I for one would love to see this collected!! I was/am a massive fan of Mr. David’s run on Aquaman and have always wanted to see where it all began! But I could never find it and if it gets collected it would be an affordable way for this law student to get a hold of it.
Well, I guess I can ask one of my cousins to ship them to me. But then again, my Italian isn’t such that I can read it fluently enough to understand it fully. I also wonder what the translation would do to the humor Peter no doubt put into it.
As for DC: VA FANCULO!
Retards.
Well if it makes you feel better, at least one store’s, Time Warp in Boulder, CO, owner says that he wants to see a AC tpb each time…likely having something to do with wanting to read it himself and not being able to find the issues….
I’m a retailer that would support The Atlantis Chronicles TPB, but I doubt if DC will ask us. They probably only poll a handful of retailers even though in this day and age of the internet, it would be simplicity itself to run a poll through Diamond’s website for the retailers to respond to.
Great!!! I like your site!!!
