From a purely selfish perspective, I'm glad to see reprints
of the tougher Goodis titles--it makes for a cheap way to
fill the holes in the old collection. Any self-respecting
Avian should be able to dig up used copies of the better
titles without too much effort.
However, I don't think it will hurt Goodis's reputation. When
these 2nd-rate reprints don't sell, publishers are going to
be reluctant to birng the good stuff back in print. Too
bad.
