If you collect Spiderman comics, you need every single issue. If you collect baseball cards, you can't rest until you have your own 1909 Honus Wagner. If you're a Star Wars toy collector, you haunt comic-cons searching for Darth Vader's Toilet Seat, briefly issued with certain Happy Meals until it was deemed a choking hazard, and only considered collectible if the sound-chip can still be triggered to emit a sound similar to what one collector has called "the opposite of Vader's signature breathing noise."
If you are, for some bizarre reason, a collector of the published works of Henry Clark, you not only need a copy of What We Found in the Sofa and How It Saved the World, but copies of the following issues of Mad Magazine as well...
