  1. I ordered from USA to get the Black Knight strip which is great but The Lion and the Spider does not contain the whole run. Do you know if Panini is going to reprint the rest of the series?

    Thanks.

  3. I went on amazon.com/uk and pre-ordered The Siege of Camalot which it states that it collects Hulk Comic Weekly #42-55, 56-63. It skips Hulk #31-41. I was just wondering, is this the book you mentioned?

    Thanks again.
