-Its been awhile since I updated my Comics Annual and Jumbo Comics Digest list so here it is in a new topic with the latest info up to the current solicits.
-With the upcoming Archie #1 heralding a new direction and look for Archie, the Digests will be the only way to get the classic Archie comics and my favorite as always will be the Jumbo Comics Digest and Comics Digest Annual because of the increased page counts.
-So the question is do any of you have all of the Jumbo's, Comics Annuals and before when they were called Double Double Digests.
So far there have been 14 Jumbo Comics, 6 Comics Annuals and 8 Double Double Digests. Do you have them all? Of course in my collection I have all of them and looking forward to the next two Jumbo Comics Digests, one in June and one in August that will include not one but two new stories in them.
