Ratings and reviews

I urge you to purchase this collection elsewhere. The source material is outstanding, but this version of the collection has several problems, including missing pages and pages placed in the incorrect order. Highly frustrating. This would be an easy 5/5 if not for these problems.

The story and the artwork are brilliant of course. But there are numerous problems with the ebook itself. There are several pages out of sequence and whole sections missing altogether. If this could be updated in its entirety and in proper order, this would be an easy 5/5.

I remember reading this several times as a kid. While the writing doesn't hold up to today's standards it's still a fun ride. I did notice some pages were missing and some pages were duplicated. So be warned it's missing four or five pages.
