Why doesnt anyone on Ebay ever sell the All Star Archives volumes four and five? Are these SO great nobody will sell them? Anyone have any advice on another site I can find these relatively cheap? (BTW, I know about Overstock.com, but when I'm looking for sepcific volumes in a multi volume set, I need more specifics than they currently offer!)

I brought a load of different archives from Milehighcomics.com when they had one of their tpb/hc sales and got aload for $25-30 which worked out about £16-21 for me. Since archives here in UK are £28-40 a pot thats a heck of a differance. With the free shipping it made it really worthwhile not going the ebay root for certain editions.

Try http://home.twcny.rr.com/blur/sanctuary/main.htm

Sanctuary comics sells them for $30 each, plus $5 for shipping for up to two Archives. So if you buy both it'll come out to a total of $65. That's about what you'll probably pay on E-bay, baring a great stroke of luck.

BTW, I am almost done with vol 4, which I really enjoyed, and plan on getting vol 5 from them next week (once it goes on my next month's credit bill ). So I haven't actually ordered anything from them yet, and can't vouch for their service, but it sure seems to be one of the better deals on the web.

However, you MUST either have the ISBN numbers, or luck into a salesperson who knows WTF you're talking about. (The former is infinitely more likely.)

The ISBN is usually available on the Amazon listing. Also, Booksamillion has pictures of the archives, so you can just click on the picture to see what volume they are offering.

I didn't know Silver Age comics had a website. I used to live right by the store for a few years and got to know Gus pretty well. He's a good guy and his store has the most amazing back issue selection. I got a thirty issue run of Marvel's Greatest Comics (Kirby FF reprints from the 70's ) for 50 cents each there.

And talesofwonder has all the Archives and all the new Marvel Masterworks including the variant covers.

Yeah, I order my Archives through Silver Age Comics. I've been ordering the variant Masterworks through Tales of Wonder, though. I've always been happy with Silver Age; haven't really seen anything from Tales of Wonder yet as the Masterworks haven't been released yet.

I've checked the Silver Age Comics website and I can't find the archives...where am I supposed to be looking?

Personally, I always order from them using a toll-free number they have. I don't have it with me right now; I'll post it later if no one else has. I don't use their website, so I can't help you out there.
