Today we are serving up more of that delicious fruit, forbidden fruit.

Yes, those collections, those stories, that art, those characters that are not going to be

collected as trade paperbacks, as omnibuses, as giant absolute additions.

They're not coming now.

They're likely not coming anytime soon.

Many of today's selections are from that wonderful 90s era that we continue to dine out on what artists

what characters what stories are on the tree with the forbidden fruit find out today on an

all new episode of observations'servations.

Welcome everybody to another edition of Rob Observations. I am your host, Rob Leifeld.

Not only do I make comic books and have been for 38 years, but we talk comic books.

Comic books, pop culture, superheroes are always,

always on the menu here at Rob's observations. Today we are going to dive deep into a category that we already have banked a few episodes of over the past couple of years. It's called

forbidden fruits.

Forbidden fruits, concerns, deals with, discusses these works that were popular and are

currently highly sought after, but have evaded being reprinted in any form, in anything resembling

a completion of the original work for us to consume trade paperbacks, hard covers, these giant

collections, absolute is the slip cover edition, the absolute editions from DC Comics.

You got Marvel Omnibususes coming out all the time.

Obviously, DC has Omnibuses. Everyone now has Omnibuses. We love to get our comics, collect them,

and put them on our fancy, schmancy shelves. Speaking of myself here, I love putting comic books

and collections on the fancy,

schmancy shelves, okay?
