I realize that anything even remotely like this would require a huge sell of the NBE Masterworks coming up, to show that humor can sell, but I would love it.
I am a huge fan of Fred Hembeck's work from when I was buying Marvel Age off the spinner racks. I used to love the little 1/2 page and 1 page humorous looks at the Marvel Universe. When it was published, I grabbed up a copy of his Nearly Complete Essential Archives Omnibus book...
... and while it's fantastic, it doesn't really have any published Marvel work inside. So I propose a collection of:
1. All his work from the Marvel Age books
2. The FF Roast
3. Destroys the Marvel Universe.
4. Any and all that can be found throughout the years from ads, letters pages, Stan's soapbox, Bullpen Bulletins, etc...
5. Anything that I missed in 1-4.
I realize that this would be a huge undertaking for someone at Marvel just to track down all this stuff, but I am going on record as saying that I am more than willing to have Jeph do all this if it means we might be able to get a nice collection published.
Unless of course there are crazy rights issues with all this stuff for some reason.
