Publishers - please steal these ideas...

Yesterday I mentioned that the abundance of well produced, thick collections of classic comic strips and books being published these days is a bit overwhelming - as all this amazing work is coming out at a pace somewhat faster than one can easily find the time to keep up with and enjoy... nonetheless, I can think of plenty of reprint projects I haven't heard of any publishers tackling yet, that I'd love to see someday soon. Three that jump to my mind right away would be the Barney Google strips by Billy DeBeck, all the comics by Milt Gross and the complete Sugar & Spike by Sheldon Mayer. I also would love to see more reprints of earlier Japanese comics, say, from the first half of the 20th century.
