While "researching" the latest Nexus Graphica<\/a>, I had reason to look through my collection of Comics Of Unusual Size. This set of the big and small and odd of comicdom contains many gems. Deciding that I really should share some of these largely forgotten and sometime rare pieces, I’m taking you through a tour of my unusual collection.<\/p>\n
