The Best Comic Collections Coming Out This Week - January 22nd

In a new series at Comic Frontier, we’ll be going over some of the most exciting collections coming out each week - from trade paperbacks, manga, compendiums, to omnibuses! So, without further adieu:

RELEASE OF THE WEEK: 1982 DC Comics Style Guide - Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez - DC Comics - 95.00 USD - DC and Standard Manual have brought back comic legend Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez’s incredible style guide, giving readers a behind-the-scenes look at how the secret sauce was made in 1982. It’s a brilliantly made collection worth picking up just to see Garcia-Lopez’s legendary drawings. I’m so glad this is now available to the masses.

Alien: Black, White & Blood Treasury Edition TP - Several Writers and Artists - Marvel Comics - 29.99 USD - A bloody good collection of Alien stories printed in an oversized edition is the perfect way to digest these alien stories from Marvel Comics.

Howard, Alan Quah, Richard Starkings, Roberto De La Torre, Frank Tieri, and John Arcudi - Titan Comics - 24.99 USD - The Savage Sword of Conan magazine returns in this collection from some fabulous creators. With gorgeous black and white art and plenty of action fantasy adventure, it’s fun to see books like this one exist in the present.
