Comment:	Ahhh beautiful... one of the high-grade prizes of my collection, sold off long ago (to a lawyer who paid pretty dear, thankfully) and now it's BACK! Ones and zeroes, maybe, but so much more complete than that close-but-no-cigar DC classics reprint of a few years ago... Thanks! and Happy Anniversary! (Who's this Annie everyone's talking about? Ouch. Sorry.)
