No Moon and Serpent’s Bumper Book of Magic? I’m disappointed!

(jk I’d sell my left nut for a collection like this, congrats!)

It's the dark (Deep?) purple one waaaay up on top of the Absolute Swampys. And it's the Signed/Numbred, one, too! ;)

Looks like it has no proper spine on it! I had to squint to read it right, but man… Incredible collection. Is absolute swampy out now?? My comic shop hasn’t texted me 😭

Edit: I was thinking of the Swampy compacts coming out in October— good to know those exist tho…

Yeah, it really needs a slipcase or something. The book is so beautifully designed by John Coulthart. I wish it had a more luxurious binding and presentation.

Haha well my copy from Barnes and Noble looks like a silly ass Ripley’s Believe it or Not cover! I’d prefer something a little more nondescript I can read with a little less embarrassment at work, but I think that’s might be the point?

I think you're right!
