For several years now Marvel Comics has been releasing color compilations of their older comics in hardcover called Marvel Masterworks. The high cost of these hardcovers ($50 each) makes them quite expensive to collect if all you want to do is read the stories. Fortunately, they've finally wised up and are also releasing the Marvel Masterworks line in trade paperback form at a much more reasonable price point. Out of the 153 hardcover volumes they've released so far, 25 are available in paperback, with a new one being released every month. The titles are links to the respective amazon.com page for each volume.
