A fine run on this title finished at last, 37 years later. It collects issues 80-87, Annual #5, and the recently produced and published SWAMP THING 1989 #1-4, or as I prefer to think of it, issues 88-91, cancelled by DC management at the time, and now available. I enjoyed lettering those issues in the style of John Costanza, for consistency, and think the writing by Veitch, art by Michael Zulli, Tom Mandrake, and Vince Locke, and coloring by Trish Mulvihill are all excellent. Retail price is $39.99, release date is October 20, 2026.

Another massive hardcover containing the second half of the fine series by writer John Ostrander and artist Tom Mandrake. It collects issues 32-62 with many additional extras. I enjoyed lettering the series. This cover again has a glow in the dark hidden layer full of skeletons. 888 pages, retail price is $125, release date is October 20, 2026, just in time for Halloween.

Arriving not long after the first Compendium is the second containing all the remaining Unwritten issues by Mike Carey and Peter Gross, with art and finishes by a host of other fine artists. I loved this series both as a reader and letterer, and I’m happy to see it made available again. A 984-page trade paperback, retail price $59.99. Release date is September 15, 2026.

The latest Compact Comics edition to arrive here collects the first ten issues of FABLES, so the first two storylines. Written by Bill Willingham, art by Lan Medina, Mark Buckingham, Steve Leialoha, and Craig Hamilton. As I’ve said before, I think the art and my lettering work fine at this slightly smaller size (pages are 5.5 by 8.5 inches), and at a retail price of $9.99, a good value compared to all previous printings. Release date is September 1st, 2026.

Another giant collection, 1152 pages reprinting issues 19-39 of the monthly title, Deadshot 1-4, and about a dozen other appearances of the group from the time. Note that the back cover is digitally distressed, not damaged. Written by Ostrander, Kim Yale and others, art by Luke McDonnell, John K. Snyder III, Karl Kesel, Geof Isherwood and others. This was a fun series that I enjoyed lettering. Release date is August 4, 2026, retail price is $150.
