First appearence of Alpha eh ? So they are reprinting #120-121 then. If not, then whoever wrote that don't know his arse from his elbow.

May not even be the 2nd appearance, as Northstar, Aurora & Sasquatch were in Machine Man that same publication month

What he said....I may not be up to par on the history as much as some of the other hoons lurking around here but I'm not THAT bad!

Why don't they just release an AF TPB?

[Ben]

If the new series takes off they might do that, but the thing is that the AF back issues aren't too hard to get your hands on, and if I'm not mistakened, older issues are usually realeased in TPB because they're hard to find, and will give people an other way of reading them. I may well be wrong here.

[kozzi24]

Part right, about the hard to find, but part wrong, as trades are a business, and will be released if the publisher figures it can make money.
Alpha back issues are easy to find and relatively cheap, and you get so much more, such as letters, etc that it's worth the search.

[ladymako71]

well between online shops and two ones I frequent here, it has been fairly easy for me to get my hands on the older issues....even if I admit looking for the ones with the twins and walt resepectively in them primarily.

I am not sure where but isn't there a TPB out already of AF? Or am I dreaming?

[kozzi24]

Only one I know of is "The Gift" Asgard storyline with X-Men and New Mutants

[ladymako71]

mahalo nui loa I wasn't sure if I'd read somewhere there was one out or not. Of course I'm feeling a bit bleah right now so who knows?

[Richv1]

I wouldn't mind seeing a few special trade paperbacks come out featuring Alpha Flight either teaming up with a super-hero team or facing some villian that they might not ordinarily meet. They could team-up with the Inhumans and face Doctor Doom.

[kozzi24]

ist trade will probably be the latest 6 issues.
Considering he is current writer, maybe Marvel should consider a trade of Scott's first run, which would include #106

[Richv1]

The only thing good about a collection of issues is that they usually have a new cover and sometimes extre art in the back. Or if you can't get a hold of the original issues.
