I will definitely be picking these up on release. I only have a few comics and I'd like to store them in a less fragile format, not to mention adding more to the collection.

Six months until the first book, though... :no:

Found them on Amazon.com, planning to pre-order these beauties:
#1: Silly Sea Stories
#2: Aquatic Adventures
I wish we had more info on which Issues were in which book, and any luck on finding the "Art of SpongeBob" book on amazon or anywhere? Meanwhile i'm going to try to get the "SpongeBob SquarePants Experience" and the "Sick Little Monkeys: The Ren & Stimpy Story" books.

ICv2:
It said three, but all we could find was two, did they cancel the 3rd sb comics book, or is it later 2017?

UPDATE: it's a (kinda) collectible comic with comics hand-picked from any sb comics issue and with a reprint of #1, and a special die-cut slipcase. 279x191 mm, and it's a 208 page comic, coming Oct. 2017. I'm saving up for that

Got these copies delivered some days ago!

Curious question; where'd you order em to get hardcover copies? Amazon only lists em for paperback..

EDIT: Nevermind, the shine on #1 made me think it's hardcover; after further inspection, it's paperback.

none of the 2 collections have comics from the first issue, my guess is because the reprint they're doing which is very smart for those who haven't bought any of the issues and only these books, and I hope the 3rd book takes comics only from issues 13, 25, 37, 49 and 61, i hate it when they dont use all halloween issues, and some normaal ones, I wonder what the treasure chest will use.
