Does anyone have any info about the size of Liberty Meadows Sunday Strips Volume 1 (Hardcover) ? Is this one oversized?

[JC]

Just saw Tomb of Dracula from Bob's list and thought I would check the rating of Volume 1 in Amazon.com ... it says

"Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with the item, the way we were shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

Bob, is there anything wrong with the book itself?

[BobBretall]

No specific size mentioned in Previews (this is on p. 149), however, I', going to assume it is the same size as the other Liberty Meadows HCs, which would make it 9" x 12"

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with my ToD Omnibus v1

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with my ToD Omnibus v1

Did you get the Variant edition? I see that the variant is available in Amazon.com. Do you highly recommend this book?

[BobBretall]

Did you get the Variant edition? I see that the variant is available in Amazon.com. Do you highly recommend this book?

Yes, I always get the variant editions, I just like the "new" cover art as opposed to a reprint of an old cover, but this is purely a personal preference. In this case, the new art was a Gene Colan Dracula picture & I love it.

I have always been a fan of Marvel's ToD, I think it was one of the best things to come out of them in the 70s.
