Another great comics reprint book

"Sugar & Spike" was a comic book by Sheldon Mayer that started in the 1950s, about two toddlers whose babytalk was fully understandable to each other, but sounded like gibberish to adults.  (This device was later used in the cartoon series "Rugrats.")

 

It was a great comic book that I remember well from when I was a kid in the 1970s.  It's seldom seen any reprintings, so it's great to see this released.  But DC gave it the full prestige Archives treatment, so the cover price is $59.99.  But I wish they had found a way to make it more popularly priced (by making it softcover, for example) so that kids, and not just adult-nerd-collectors could enjoy it.

 

You can buy it here.
