Buncha thoughts:
Placeholder art
— The official return of Limited Collectors’ Edition — how cool is that? It makes sense, though: DC in the last couple of years has reprinted both The Untold Legend of the Batman and Justice League of America #200 in the treasury format for the first time, but hasn’t had a reliable label for these 10″ x 13″ editions. Bringing back LCE is the perfect solution.
— Why is it Issue #64? Because DC is adhering to its traditional numbering scheme. A bit of history: LCE began in October 1972 with Limited Collectors’ Edition #C-20: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and ended in April 1978 with Issue #C-59: Batman’s Strangest Cases. In the latter part of the run, it traded numbering with All New Collectors Edition, which ultimately took over completely. The overall series ended in December 1978, with All New Collectors’ Edition #C-62: Superman: The Movie.
Still with me? Good. A few years back, DC published a hardcover of 1935’s New Fun Comics #1 as a Famous First Edition (another ’70s treasury line) with the number C-63. That brings us to #64. (I do like that they’ve dropped the pesky “C” designation with the numbering. It’s the little things.)
— This is not a one-off. Should DC continue to publish new treasuries with classic material (as opposed to Facsimile Editions), the numbering will continue under the Limited Collectors’ Edition banner. And you know how this works, as long as these sell, they’ll continue to make them. We’re now up to three new treasuries, and the second this year, so clearly something is working.

— To make it even clearer, this is not being labeled or marketed as a Facsimile Edition. This is a separate reprint category, but targeted at the same audience. It’s not noted in the solicitation copy, but we have confirmed that Limited Collectors’ Edition #64 will include Issues #1-3 of Perez’s run, letters columns, and pinups, but no ads.
— DC has not yet unveiled the final trade dress, so I’ve used the wraparound cover of Wonder Woman #1 as a placeholder. The trade dress will be designed to look as close as possible to the original Limited Collectors’ Edition.
— It’s a brilliant way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Perez’s Wonder Woman. Issue #1 came out Oct. 14, 1986.
— The only other Wonder Woman tabloid was the Paul Dini/Alex Ross Wonder Woman: Spirit of Truth, from 2001. (It was re-released as a hardcover earlier this year.) But that’s a completely different animal. During the Bronze Age, Wonder Woman’s only LCE/ANCE appearances were in a team-up with Superman and in Justice League of America/Super Friends editions. She never had a solo issue, which is insane when you consider the series ran at the same time as the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman show.
— The only thing that would make this better is a Bob Rozakis maze and a back-page diorama!

This is great news. I love the format and have been buying all of the reprints.

Any idea what the “C” stood for and why did the numbering start with “C-20?”
