Top Collection

A short-lived but visually striking series from German publisher Norbert Hethke Verlag, Top Collection (1989–1991) gathered a mix of American reprints and original European material across just eight issues. The series is notable for pairing the legendary writer Roy Thomas with artist Gil Kane on several stories, while also featuring early published work from Mike Mignola. Its blend of established Marvel/DC veterans and rising talents makes it a fascinating artifact of the late-80s international comics market.
