Artist Jason Armstong was musing on the future of HAWAIIAN DICK, and suggested something similiar to (bear in mind that Jason is Canadian) 1979's CAPTAIN CANUCK SUMMER SPECIAL (the first and only):
Basically, a seasonal or quarterly book (64 pages) stuffed full of comics, with a complete Hawaiian Dick story in each issue.
I kind of like that idea. I could let collaborators run wild with backups and short stories, and then focus on a lead story for each issue. In a perfect world, Griffin could even get back to drawing Byrd now and then...
A fat quarterly anthology with Griffin covers. That would be a beaut, eh?

I like that idea, similiar to what I mentioned earlier, just make sure to include the phrase "You'll love this one" in a word balloon on every cover.
Har!
Maybe Steven could do wraparound covers. We could sell 'em as posters.
do this it would be pretty much perfect and awesome
In addition to, or in place of, the ongoing regular book?

In place of. The ongoing regular book is not working as intended.
Wasn't the ongoing series quarterly? Or was it annually? (How did no one get this already?)
The ongoing was intended to be monthly, Mar.
I think playing with the format in comics is a great idea because that 24-32 pages monthly format is just not something natural for anybody outside of the big2. It doesn't work for most comics.
Fell works in part because it breaks the format.
A 64 pager could do wonders for HD.
