If I added "Kid Eternity" to it instead, would the Morrison 3-issue series be needed as well? Is that like a prequel or is it a totally separate entity? Wikipedia says the Vertigo series moved away from Morrison's story, but that seems to imply it started off in continuity with it...

I love the Vertigo stuff!! So far I have bound: Dreaming (3 volumes); Fables (1st 5 trades); Flinch (1 volume); Hellblazer (1st 24 issues); Lucifer (3 volumes); Midnight, Mass (1 volume); Preacher (3 volumes); and Swamp Thing (2 volumes so far).
Future Vertigo binds include: Crossing Midnight, Books of Magic, House of Secrets, House of Mystery, Young Liars, Madame Xanadu, Northlanders, Egypt, Goddess, Sandman Presents, Air, Jack of Fables, and The Unwritten. If I can get all of the Invisibles trades, I will bind them as well. Same thing with Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol.

They're prestige format like the original Books of Magic mini. I don't have access to them right now but I think they're around 48 pages each which makes sense since the trade is 144 pages.

It is not entirely complete, but its getting there, and perhaps you could help identify the holes. Let me know if you want me to email it to you. Only catch is I am using an open source spread sheet, but MS Excel should have no problem opening it. - Jack

If you want to be all obvious about it. (I was going for a Vertigo Book of the Dead theme.) BTW - did you read the Deadman series? I thought that it was dreadful.
