Granted, the price went up a lot. The last Treasury Edition I bought was at $2 – but I remember as a kid just loving the size and format, poring over those pages time and time again. Spidey seems like a good choice – a title aimed squarely at kids, perfect for reading on the floor on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Do any kids still have those?
