I understand why you want to start with the New Trend titles, but I hope you won't save the romance and western pre-Trends for last. I bought all of the individual color reprints and was sorely disappointed that the job wasn't quite finished. I can't help but feel that by saving the worst for last, these comics were doomed from the start. I'm buying all of the EC Archives, and I'd hate to get to the end again only to have the romances and westerns left on the cutting room floor. I know I can buy the collectors set, but it just doesn't make sense to buy a high-end, black-and-white set that doesn't match the rest of my collection. So, I hope that when you get to the end of the New Trend, you'll mix the pre-Trends in with the New Directions and start with the romances and westerns.

I really can't promise when or if we'll reprint the Pre-Trends. We've really just started the Archives, so it's too early to tell what will happen. So far the response both critically and with regards to sales has been extremely strong. I think the New Trend is going to be our focus and from a financial standpoint, I'm sure you can understand why. Only time will tell what we do with the Pre-Trend books.
