(has any story ever been reprinted as full original boards?)




McSweeney's printed a large hardcover of Justin Green's Binky Brown from the original art recently, and I immediately thought that we should be seeing similar books done with more mainstream content. The Rocketeer is the first one since then that I'm aware of. (Maybe there are foreign publishers who have done books like this?)

Years ago, Russ Cochran printed full size EC stories from original art as the EC Portfolios, right? But of course the Binky Brown and Rocketeer books seem part of a more recent aesthetic trend of photographing the orginal art so that it appears warts and all, and we can see pencil lines, white out, paste-ups, yellowing, etc., rather than shooting from original art to get the crispest black and white line art reproduction.
