I got around on doing a few of these myself. I've used self-adhesive glossy paper for the front/back and the spine. It looks better and you don't have to deal with glueing all the sheets of paper and having glue marks under them.

Wish more single issues game in a nice box like this

I'm kind of tempted to get this just because of how nice the presentation of the whole package is

It looks neat. I might get this box set. I like the idea of comics in box sets.

Just waiting for mine (l hope soon). I’ve been trying to order this box since it was announced at the end of last year, but to no avail until now. I was tempted to get a book version when released in a near future, but I think this the best way to enjoy it. Keeping my fingers crossed. Craig Thompson is worth of this endurance ;)

Beautiful duotone printing and art by Mr. Craig Thompson. I know this will be published in a single volume (paperback / hardback?…) but, probably it won’t included the cover art, liner notes or any separates extras. Can you confirm this?…

Muss man die Reihe von anfang an lesen oder könnte man auch mittendrin beginnen?

Hallo, cooles video. Hast du auch Silver Age comics (oder 50s EC Comics)? Sammle selber US Comics (EC, Marvel/DC 60er70er), Artist’s Editions, Original Art…

Hey Earl Grey you could split crime comics into four sub categories Private eyes and Journalist, Federal Agents And Police, Spy's, and Crooks and mobsters making a glorious 40 odd list ten each plus honourable mentions.

Do you know anywhere online that i can purchase the Azteken book by Andreas? I cannot find it anywhere.😢💔

A brilliant recommendation Monsieur; my 12 year old scooped up Lale Westvind for my Birthday, - 2 dimensional fantastic plastic, so good! A request... please could you do some more 2000ad panellogies for us earthlets, we are working our way through progs 200 - 300 currently, it's a big stack! And a couple of recommendations for you - Jasper Jubenvil 's 'Dynamite Diva' and Lee Hardcastle's claymation 'Simpson's Couch Gags'. ( I trust you have got your hands on Image's Outer Darkness by now!) Later Alligator!

I do have all of the Tintin books (aside from Alph Art) although they're currently spread all around the house and not in the best condition (due to them being my childhood copies). Someday I really want to get that hardcover boxset, it looks really tempting.

I have all three of those. But great to be able to review them on TH-cam and see someone else's perspective on it. 'Burn Again' is my favorite also.

I read and loved Julio’s day. Picked up the heartbreak soup tpb. How much different are the non Gilbert stories? Not sure if I’ll like them

Beautiful books, so jealous of Franka books, don't think anything from Henk Kuijpers is available in English. From Mitton at least I can read Polish editions, Chronicles of Barbarians (very enjoyable book) has been published recently, Vae Victis should follow soon. Kuijpers' art is amazing, tempted to get something from him in any language... Hope you'll make full episode about him.

Fantagraphics just published it but it looks smaller than your version.

I've been putting off watching this panellogy for a long time. Now that I finally got my hands on the Finnish version of Schninkel(available only in b&w) I allowed myself to watch this. It was unexpected mix of many things with bible, scifi- and fantasy classics. I found myself liking the dialog. Not so much what was said but how the characters interacted. It felt like the they were actually listening to each other. Possibly a small detail but one that stuck out for me. Rosinskis art is - almost unnecessary to say - gracefully easy on the eyes.

by the by i’m wondering if Jeff Smith knows Valerian and laureline/mezieres or christin. Laureline and Thorn remind me of each other a gigantic amount.

I just started getting into Olivier. He’s so good! There is a collected edition for Sunday coming out in the fall from fantagraphics. Will definitely be picking it up

“a lizard with the mind of kant” i don’t think a lizard wants to be calle one

Looks fantastic!!!!!

I never heard of this.

So jealous

Its a shame that there isnt an English release of this (at least it doesn't seem like there is one) would you say its still worth getting it even though I wont be able to read the dialogue?

I've been reading comics since the late 80s & remember when this was being serialized. I was always impressed with Jeff Smith's cartooning skills, but I've still never read the entire series for the same reasons you described. I'm much more into science fiction themes than fantasy. Interesting how well our tastes align, you being European & I being American.

What a lovely box set, and what a great video! Once again a terrific script, and I just settled into a zone of pure comfort.

What a boxset! Very enviable.

Super video 👍 Blueberry ist echt underrated und viele Amerikaner haben ihn irgendwie gar nicht auf dem Schirm

Blueberry is the greatest western saga ever created in the comic book medium. No one has ever come close. As an American fan, I only wish that one day we will get this series more widely reprinted, as of now, each copy is quite expensive, IF you can find them. They deserve to be widely reprinted. Such amazing works deserve to be spread far and wide for all to read.

Maybe this sounds stupid, but I think this Frankenstein's incarnation was the inspiration for Hulk.

I am French. I used to read my father's Blueberry albums when I was a kid. I loved them of course. And now, far away from my father's house, I sometimes feel nostalgic for it. Then I tried to find a good French video about Blueberry, but nothing came. But this video from a fellow European is great 😊

I recently got my hands on some Spirou collections. Two by Franquin, Two by Tome and Janry, the Rob-Vel one and the Jije one. I gotta admit...even though the Franquin ones were very good, I VASTLY prefer the Tome and Janry stories.

I picked up Glacial Period recently, and I really enjoyed it, although I do wish it focused more on the archaeologists trying to understand the various artworks (I was a little bit underwhelmed by the ending as well, since it felt kind of abrupt) I really like the art as well (the colours are absolutely gorgeous!), it kind of reminds me of the work of Taiyo Matsumoto, especially that kind of "scratchy" linework (funnily enough, Matsumoto and Nicolas de Crecy actually collaborated on an artbook once!)

To add to the titles confusion, here in Spain they decided to call it ''Laberintos'' which means ''Labyrinths''.

Hope to get my hands on these one day

Heads up that there is some extra unpublished content included in the Fantagraphics 'World's greatest cartoonists' FCBD issue from 2017. I picked it up after I read the first book (and LOVED it), but I decided to hold off on reading the FCBD issue content until the second books was released, because I assumed it would be included. I went back and checked after reading Book 2, and it turns out she didn't use that content, so the FCBD issue is the only way to read it currently. The story explains how her teddy bear 'Blemmy' got its head cut off. It doesn't have any huge revelations, but it feels at least as important as half of the content in Book 2 so it's strange that it wasn't included. I wonder if she's holding on to it for a future volume?

Hi guys Great video as always 👏👏👏👏👏👏 P.s.can somebody tell me where can I get the first 3 Issues of Tongues from Anders Nilsen...I am living in Germany Have a nice day😉

I don’t think anyone could fully give you an accurate interpretation of the ending as it is so vastly open to any interpretation. I saw it as Deze being responsible for much of the Anka story and Karen not wanna to face that truth in her note book. But anyone can give another interpretation easily. The whole blank spot at the ending sort of mirrors Deze with his brother and Karen doing the same to her father maybe but again the story is so frustratingly vague and the character of Karen so inconsistent with her age, nativity, intelligence etc., and the cracks in characterisation and plot really show up in book two far more than one. I felt the same at the end of book two though that it is not needed and book one as unfinished as it is, is fine on its own.

I had the same feeling about book 2. The big mystery is not explained and there is a great deal of vagueness. This might be my limitation as a reader. Maybe I’m missing something.

Anti HERO !! John Difool, 4:58 ....he is cut into 4 (four) (vier) pieces ( Elements) (Earth,Wind,Fire, Water) (Erde, Feuer, Wasser, Wind ) !!!

Moebius Comics haben M.I.C.H. total geflasht, John Difool, Incal, Die Sternenwanderer, Atan & Stell. Die blaue Pyramide...etc...usw

Watch at 1:38 ---> "Attacke" the german word "Angriff" !! Der Inkal ! John Difool!

John Difool !

always makes me wonder what Moebius used to make this

Already finish the story or still on going?

I enjoyed reading through The Tower, I think the artwork is excellent, and I find the setting and mystery very intriguing, although I'm not that keen on the romance between Giovanni and Milena, it kind of comes out of nowhere and I didn't really seem that believable to me, I think its also quite questionable that there seems to be a fairly big age gap between the two of them. I'm still interesting in checking out the other books in The Obscure Cities series though.

Not a fan of Vittorio Giardino? Surprised you didn't mention any of his books, specially Max Fridman adventures, couldn't find more classic example of quality espionage comics. And a shame Jerome K. Jerome series had been cancelled after just two volumes (publishing them in singles wasn't best idea anyway). Two more recommendations from me - The Disarment by fantastic duo, Pirus and Mezzo (quite violent crime noir, for me on the same level as Stray Bullets, only one from two volumes published in English) and Saint Elme from F. Peeters and S. Lehman, one of my favourite titles of last year, with a lot of Lynch/Coen Brothers vibes.

I don't get it. This book was named Daidalos and only available in german, but the author is american? Now they release it in english with a different title? Is that correct? Is english or german now the origal language of this comic?

These volumes are selling for $100 U.S

Thanks for the incredible journey. Now I understand how Crumb traded one sketchbook for his estate in France. Every page is priceless. Reminds of the anecdote about Picasso drawing a sketch in exchange for a meal. As a he was walking out the door, the restaurant owner called him back: Monsieur Picasso, you forgot to sign! - Of course, he replied, I bought the meal, not the whole restaurant!
