Fantagraphics has been doing hardcover with some Timely and Atlas stuff for some time, similar to their EC Comics Library. An interesting development that slipped by me was the announcement of a new archive series of more recent Marvel material: Lost Marvels.
Volume 1, set to release at the end of April, is Tower of Shadows. It collects the 9 issues of the never before collected horror anthology series from 1969. (With issue 10, the series became Creatures on the Loose, and some of that has been reprinted elsewhere.)
While that's interesting, I don't know if that would go into the buy column for me, or it wouldn't have, but then I saw the announcement of volume 2. That volume's titled: Howard Chaykin Vol. 1: Dominic Fortune, Monark Starstalker, and Phantom Eagle. It collects the first (maybe only?) appearance of Monark Starstalker in Marvel Premiere #32, all the color Dominic Fortune stories by Chaykin including the Max limited series, and the collaboration with Garth Ennis, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle. Pretty cool contents, particularly when there is no chance of ever seeing any sort of Dominic Fortune collection.
The "vol. 1" implies there may be a Chaykin volume 2 in the future.
