Gotta love Sugar & Spike!  One of my all-time favorite comics.  And one of the absolute rarest DC titles, sadly. I've only got 6 of the issues in the first archive, so this will be a very nice addition to the library.  And, honestly, while I insist on being willing to read any book I own, no matter how valuable, there's maybe 5 people on the planet I know personally who I would trust to look at my copy of #1 outside the bag & board.  Having a book to share will be nice.

I too am definitely looking forward to the Sugar and Spike Archive.  Hopefully down the line DC will also make the stories available in a cheaper format (the archive retails for $60.00) such as their Showcase Presents books or something akin to Dark Horse's reprints of John Stanley's Little Lulu and Tubby comics so that people can pick up copies for their kids.

Also hope that this will be just the first of some long overdue attention to Mayer that may get more of his work back in to print.

Best

I think DC saw that there was a market for things like LL and Tubby and decided they might be able to sell S&S.
It is interesting, the large number of us old men that have such a love for S&S. It really one of the all time best comics.

With Sheldon Mayer it has to be among the best!  I'm reading his J. Worthington Blimp, Strange Adventures of Mr Weed and Scribbly strips in THE FUNNIES, POPULAR, ADVENTURE and ALL-AMERICAN now.  Unfortunately I can't share the DCs here.  I didn't realize he had also done THE THREE MOUSEKETEERS which I read as a kid, but now I'm looking for those too.  Does anyone know if LEAVE IT TO BINKY was as good?

I'm buying more Archives and Masterworks since today's comics are so disappointing.  I get them through a subscription service at G-Mart Comics at a standard 35% discount, so a $60 book runs me $39.  Unfortunately some of the books are OOP, so it cost me about $150 each to get THOR and DR STRANGE vol 1 Masterworks thru Amazon sellers, but G-Mart can get me any that are still in print.  Not shilling for G-Mart, but I couldn't afford these editions otherwise.
