At PS Artbooks, our mission is to preserve and celebrate the rich visual history of vintage comics—from the pulpy thrills of horror anthologies to the bombastic charm of golden age superheroes. But just as every comic has its own story, every collector has their own way of enjoying these treasures. That’s why we offer a range of carefully considered formats—each designed to meet the needs of different types of readers, collectors, and enthusiasts.
Whether you're after affordability, durability, shelf appeal, or historical authenticity, we have an edition for you.
Trade Paperback Edition
Affordable. Accessible. Collector-friendly.
The trade paperback is the most cost-effective way to enjoy our restorations. These softcover editions feature the same high-quality reproduction of vintage comics as our other formats, but at a lower price point. They're ideal for readers who want to build a collection without breaking the bank—or for those just starting their journey into the world of classic comics.
Don’t let the lower price fool you—these are still beautifully printed, thoughtfully designed books. The trade paperback is perfect for casual reading, travel, or gifting to a fellow fan.
Bookshop Edition
Hardcover durability with the same great content.
For those who prefer a more traditional hardback feel, the bookshop edition delivers. These editions contain the exact same interiors as our trade paperbacks, but in a sturdier hardcover format that’s built to last. They’re perfect for collectors who want a more refined look on the shelf or anyone who appreciates the added durability of a hardback book.
If you’re building a home library of vintage comic collections, the bookshop edition strikes a perfect balance between quality and value.
Slipcase Edition
Designed for display. Made for collectors.
Our most premium offering, the slipcase edition is a bookshop edition encased in a beautifully crafted, limited-edition slipcase. These editions are produced in smaller quantities and are ideal for serious collectors or as gifts for devoted fans.
The slipcase adds an extra layer of protection and a polished aesthetic, turning your book into a true display piece. If you’re looking to showcase your love of vintage comics—or preserve it in pristine condition—this is the edition for you.
Facsimile Edition
An authentic trip back in time.
Want to experience a comic just as readers did decades ago? Our facsimile editions are near-exact recreations of single issues, restored and reprinted to match the look and feel of the originals as closely as possible. From vintage layouts and original advertisements to era-authentic coloring and paper texture, these editions offer an immersive, historical reading experience.
Perfect for nostalgia seekers, design historians, or fans of comic ephemera, facsimile editions provide a unique window into the past.
Slipcase Facsimile Editions
The Slipcase Facsimile Edition is a true celebration of comic heritage—bringing together multiple facsimile comics in a beautifully designed, limited-edition slipcase. Each set features a curated selection of single-issue facsimiles, faithfully reproduced to the specifications of their original printings—ads, layouts, coloring, and all.
What sets this edition apart is the presentation: housed in a striking slipcase unique to the collection, it offers both protection and visual impact. These sets are produced in limited numbers and are perfect for collectors who want the authenticity of facsimiles with the shelf presence of a premium edition.
It’s more than a collection—it’s a time capsule. A ready-made archive of comic book history, ideal for display, preservation, or gifting to the serious collector.
PS Magazines
Pulp classics reimagined.
PS Magazines are our tribute to the wild and wonderful world of vintage magazine publishing. These editions reprint iconic comics and periodicals in a format that bridges the gap between comic books and pulp magazines. Expect bold covers, eclectic content, and a sense of vintage publishing adventure that makes each issue a collector’s item in its own right.
Whether you’re into horror, sci-fi, crime, or romance, PS Magazines offer something a little different—an homage to the strange and sensational side of mid-century popular culture.
