Cat/Tigra-The inclusion in the WOM omnibus probably puts this on a back burner, but it'd make a great trade like you listed on the other thread

Unless I'm mistaken, only the 4 issues of the Cat were include in the omnibus. I don't think any of Tigra's appearances from Marvel Chillers were included -- just her origin from Giant-Size Marvel Creatures. The omnibus had potential, but including a lot of lame one-offs  like the stupefyingly bad Alladin Effect made it a non--purchase for me. I remember loving the cover to Dazzler: the Movie -- only to be disappointed by Coletta's horrible inking of Frank Springer. I didn't always dislike Coletta's inks -- but they didn't work with Springer's pencils (which looked pretty good before the inks were applied).

Black Goliath. Done in 1/2 a volume. Brilliant. Elegant. series.

I was surprised Black Goliath wasn't included in the Champions TPBs, 'cause the crossover.
Well, two volumes covered most of the Champions essential stories. It would have been nice to see the Iron Man Annual in which they appeared and I never read. Wonder if it's any good? Unlike some, I have a fondness for the series. The first arc wasn't the best, but I liked the Russian villains arc -- and the series really picked up under Mantlo and Byrne.

I'm sure, though, that a Black Goliath tpb would include his Champions appearances, his first costume appearance from Hero for Hire, and his Marvel Two-In-One appearances -- including his debut as Giant-Man.

I found Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk and Dazzler all decidedly patchy so I'm probably not the best person to ask on those.
Ms. Marvel had the shortest run, but was probably the strongest of the three. Had Cockrum remained as artist for more than two issue (and his second issue hadn't been ruined by a Al Milgrom rush ink job), the series may have lasted a bit longer. Vosburg's art was very mediocre. I'd accept tpb collections, but would prefer MMW for this title.

She-Hulk and Dazzler are definitely better left for a trade.
