If you could create a Trade Paperback

Marvel has been publishing for 50 years. During that time, there have been a wide variety of stories. Some of those stories remain popular to this day, others have rightfully fallen into obscurity, and some are great but were never popular. Given this, collecting or even reading the stories you want can prove to be difficult. Thankfully, there are Trade Paperbacks, which collect the individual issues into a book form.

But the problem still remains that many underrated classics are still unavailable. So my question is this: If you could create one Trade Paperback (of reasonable length) of any Marvel story or stories, what would it be?

My suggestion is Don McGregor's Black Panther stories. Panther's Rage and Black Panther vs. the Klan are relatively available (either through Marvel Masterworks or Essential Black Panther), although fairly pricey these days. But his followup stories (Panther's Quest and Panther's Prey) don't have the same attention. Panther's Quest was printed as a backup feature in 24 issues of 8 pages each. Right now, the only way to get them is to buy all 24 issues (if you can find them). So my thought is to print a single Trade Paperback of those two stories together. Or, better yet, create a complete McGregor compilation with the first two stories in one volume and these two stories in a second.
