The whole the site that has everything is a little bit pompus and incorrect. It doesn't have, for example, this phenomenal cover. Ok, so I'm being sneaky with Transbuddha.
But it does have some rarities from a couple of the coolest comics of the past couple of decades. I'm talking about those comic classics: Bloom County (before it became Outland which was vaguely rehashed crap) and Calvin & Hobbes.
This Peter Paltridge fellow has gone around and collected a whole bunch of rarities related to those two strips. There a whole bunch of the Bloom County and Outlands that are missing from the various collections that exist in print. There are also a few of the strips that are different between the original and collected versions.
Then there's his vast collection of rare stuff from Bill Watterson. There are t-shirts, original strips, calendars, and a bunch more stuff for the Watterson fanatics out there.
He also offers shout outs to US Acres, but it was a load of manure from the get go - stupider, even, than Garfield which is phenomenally stupid - unless you really mess with it.
Now, if somebody could just find some rare Doonesbury and Boondocks cartoons, we'd be set for life.

I agree: Bloom County is one of the coolest comics around. Sadly, Outland was indeed pretty bad.
