Hmm... I suppose I could do it through interlibrary lone via my university,
but not for the original comics; I've never seen any library ever that lends
out things like that. But I seem to recall seeing a picture of a hardcover
collection of all of the issues somewhere on the web. Does anyone know if
that book actually exists, and if so, what is its official title and ISBN
number?
