Age Reprints for 2008"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In the last episode of the Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast, I mentioned that there had been a plethora of Golden Age reprints over the past several months.\u00a0 In looking back at 2008 (at least through the date of this post) it seems that Marvel has been a little busier than DC in providing Golden Age fans with some high quality reprints, but DC continues to churn out the &#8220;Chronicles&#8221; for Batman and Superman in a trade paperback format that is much more affordable to the average reader.\u00a0 Following is a list of the majority of the Golden Age reprints I am aware of to date in 2008.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DC Comics<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Seven Soldiers of Victory Archives<\/em>, Volume 3 (Reprints <em>Leading Comics<\/em>

that from time to time reprints Uncle Scrooge stories from the Barks run in the 1950&#8217;s) or any of the many web sites and digital resources available for reprint material.<\/p>\n<p>The best resource on the web for a complete listing of reprints in collected editions is the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.collectedcomicslibrary.com\">Collected Comics Library<\/a><\/strong>, maintained by Chris Marshall.\u00a0 Chris also hosts the <em>Collected Comics Library Podcast<\/em> which is an excellent weekly show featuring all things related to collected editions.<\/p>\n<p>Please leave a
