That's a really solid Moebius collection you have there, pretty much all his stuff as far as I can make it out. What are the blue and red books on the opposite ends of the French "Inside Moebius" books?

The red one is the Spanish edition of the major book, the blue one is a custom bind
There are still many Moebius books I would like to have, transforme and the Mars book in particular. Maybe the large format Incal humonoids books also, I thought that size was ridiculous at first but now I’m kicking myself for not having them and a few gallery editions that I’m interested in.

Ah, is it that one, I knew it existed but I didn't know it was bigger than the original French version.
What did you include in the custom bind, The 6 Caliber Press Moebius comics? Transe Forme is a rough one to find, it took me a while to find a decently priced one but it's definitely worth the hunt. The Mars book will probably be reprinted someday, maybe Norma will do an edition like they did with "Le Major", the original stardom editions are tiny so a bigger version is always welcome.
Be careful with the large format ones, they're addictive ;) Arzach does looks amazing on that format though
[B]Bantams[/B], i love your collection! thanks for the close-ups
p.s. i'm not a designer (those damn design books look so appealing though) but i do own The Art of Looking Sideways and i think it might be one of the best books ever published :)
so much goodness in this collection, Bantams!
We've got a lot of stuff in common (or stuff I still want to collect down the road). Can't help but spot a French version of Lupus, which I love.

Hi zaboraviti. That is such a great book, he is a amazing. I almost edited the design books out of the pics so I’m glad someone got some enjoyment out of them

Yes the bind is caliber comics and the marvel and a few odds and ends
Your collection is incredible btw - the moebius section is intense, I’m fascinated by some of non-English language editions

I love Frederick peeters, his last book is one my favorites of the past year. I picked lupus up on a trip to Paris. Going in the book stores there almost makes me angry when I see how many comics need to be translated to English

Thx! I only have French and Dutch editions aside from the English ones, even then it's gotten a bit out of control with different versions of the same stuff (colour and B&W). The oversized Dutch "Garage Hermetique" is probably the best edition of that story I have, if Dark Horse republishes that story eventually I'd hope it aspires to the quality of that one (B&W, of course).
From experience, do the Kallax and Billy cases actually require wall attachment? I don't think that I'm allowed to do this in my flat, but I need some more storage :P

Only for safety reasons, not for stability of holding the actual books and displaying them

I haven't attached my Kallax's to the wall, but I've got the storage cubes in the bottoms of mine full of heavy stuff, so they barely move at all when pushing them.

That's good, my omnibus' are going at the bottom :P
