[QUOTE=lvizzz;895984]Thank you! It's great looking book; I have first tpb and it's crazy like cuckoo, kinda liked it, art was awesome, with lots of small details and inside jokes. I'll keep hunting, I do believe there is still a chance to get it for much less than 100 pounds somewhere.[/QUOTE]
NP. Tank Girl in general is awesome. This book is great and definitely worth the buy.

so, September16th was the last day of the Kickstarter campaign for the English edition of the first volume of The Wormworld Saga by the German artist Daniel Lieske. that is the first and so far the only one project i helped kickstart. some of you, especially German-speaking readers, are probably familiar with the subject. i however had known nothing about The Wormworld Saga before i came across that KS project but i was immediately won over by the magical artwork and it was quite affordable, so i didn't hesitate to pledge $25. today the book and the promised goodies (3 postcards, a map, a sticker, a magnetic button, and a bookmark) have finally arrived and they are as beautiful as i hoped. the book is quite small - only 5.91″ x 9.25″ (15 x 23,5cm) - but it works anyway (doesn't mean of course i don't wish it were bigger) if/when the campaign for the second volume starts, i'm definitely in.

[QUOTE=canadianaidan64;897930]I think that in North America, any comic book or graphic novel that is larger than a standard American comic would be considered oversized, unless it was originally printed in a larger format. So for example, the graphic novel "Elektra Lives Again" is oversized, even though it was not originally released in a smaller size, meanwhile its reprinting in the "oversized" Elektra Omnibus was actually "undersized" because it was smaller than the original printing.
Now I'm confused...[/QUOTE]
OHC is anything that's the size of a DC "deluxe" edition and bigger.

i've leafed through it, looks very good.
it's available freely in different languages - go to wormworldsaga.com. there are six chapters all in all, the seventh is in progress. i don't know how long the author plans it to be, but it seems to be a rather slow process anyway - the first chapter appeared late in 2010. the first volume includes first three chapters.

Thank you for the heads up! I'll definitely be checking it out and that's a beautifully printed book. Nice score

[QUOTE=TomSlick;898704]OHC is anything that's the size of a DC "deluxe" edition and bigger.[/QUOTE]
I would say there are two definitions of oversized:
a) A comic that is larger than a standard North American comic,
b) a reprint of a comic that is larger than the format it was originally released in.
So a European bande dessinée originally printed at absolute size, then localized in an English edition the size of a DC deluxe would fit the first definition but not the second.
and let that be the end of it:p

Uh, no. What I said is the general consensus here that pretty much everyone understands. A comic size tpb of Lone Wolf and Cub is not oversized because it the original tpbs were released in digest size.
Unfortunately tone often gets lost in the printed word, so don't take that statement as me being a dick to you.

Hey, I am not the only one to be confused ;)
So here's an example of a concensus, as the last LOEG HC being oversized comparing to a regular floppy:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16876[/ATTACH]
mmmh, ok not too confusing,
Now let's open this "OHC" to compare the interior art with interior art of the floppy:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16877[/ATTACH]
Much more confusing! (believe me, it's the exact same size).
So in light of that example, does the Master edition of Locke and Key will feature oversized art?
And perhaps it would be better if here on this forum we use the word oversized only if the interior art is indeed oversized? What do you think?
-
It's hard to tell from that small pic but that LOEG book doesn't look oversized.
Looking up the dimensions on Amazon (not very reliable I know) confirms it to be a regular trim book.

"Attentäter" (assassin) is the story of Gavrilo Princip, the man who killed the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, thereby causing the outbreak of the First World War. "Charly 9" is abozt Charles IX of France, under whose reign one of the worst massacres in European history took place, the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Both books blew me away - especially the latter whose at first sight weird mixing of comedy (there's even a nod to Morris' Lucky Luke) and serious historical facts (it's a massacre, after all) perfectly underlines the mental instability of said king. Highly recommended (and hopefully picked up soon by an English-language publisher).

I kind of agree with you in fact, although according to the dimension of its cover it is "larger than a standard North American comic". If in term of shelf display it has obviously its importance :), I am more interesting in knowing if the interior art also is significantly oversized.

Interestingly enough, someone on the 2000AD forums discovered that, according to Amazon, a hardback edition of the very first Case Files volume is being released in August later this year in celebration of a ten years of that series of books. The one particularly exciting piece of news is that, like the first Mek Files volume, this volume will see the colour spreads being restored and reprinted, and I presume it will also be slightly oversized like the Mek Files too. The less exciting news is that it's listed as a "special edition", which, taken together with the idea of it celebrating the series, implies that it's a one-off and not something to be continued. And yet I am hopeful, as it seems very strange that they'd only take the first book and reprint its colour spreads in a nicer edition instead of using such an opportunity to compile a "best of" sort of book. Hopefully we'll hear some more specific details soon. Although I'm sure those who have been buying the series wouldn't be too happy about double dipping, I personally would in a heart beat, especially for the early volumes.

[QUOTE=Roland1580;900426]Wow, what is the book about Ukraine?[/QUOTE]

-
[QUOTE=Roland1580;900426]Wow, what is the book about Ukraine?[/QUOTE]
"Berichte aus der Ukraine" (Reports/stories from the Ukraine) is by Italian author/artist Igort (who founded the artist's group Valvoline together with people like Lorenzo Mattotti in the 1970s/1980s). He spent several months in the Ukraine in 2008/2009 and collected stories from Ukranians about the country's past (and apparently present), e.g. from survivors of the "Holodomor", a famine that was intentionally started by Stalin and which caused the deaths of millions of Ukranians. Haven't read it yet but very much looking forward to it.
There's also a 'sequel' called "Reports from Russia" which deals e.g. with the Gulag system, the massacre of Beslan but also with the corruption and abuse of power under Putin today, amongst other things.
-
Oh, ok , so it's about Big Hunger event. I'm really interested now. Love stories like that, Solzenicyn's The Gulag Archipelago is one of my favourtie books - seriously, read it, it's huge, I think it's the biggest book I've ever read but it's totally worth the effort and time. Really shows the reality of Soviet Russia, war, Gulag system and I used to read a lot books like that: memories of people who survived death camps and gulags, war stories like James Jones books or The Naked and the Dead by Mailer, just love those big stories.
-
In regard to the oversized talk going on, it can be somewhat complicated. When it's in regard to the US comic industry, there is a general HC size that is considered normal dimensions and anything larger than that is considered "oversized". Of course, that is in regard to size of the book and doesn't 100% represent the actual size of the art within. When someone is excited about one of their favorite stories being displayed in the oversize format, they're looking forward to the art being enlarged to a size that fans believe the work deserves.
So when Vark mentions his curiosity to the size of the Locke & Key Master Editions, they are indeed oversized, but that only reflects what the dimensions of the book will be. It doesn't 100% guarantee that the art will be oversized as well or if it is, by how much. Though, I would imagine, the art will more than likely be oversized.
Take the recent X-O Manowar Omnibus as an example. The book itself is oversized, but the art inside isn't. I'm not sure if the art is enlarged at all, but it doesn't fill the pages like you would assume it should.
[QUOTE=TomSlick;899652]Uh, no. What I said is the general consensus here that pretty much everyone understands. A comic size tpb of Lone Wolf and Cub is not oversized because it the original tpbs were released in digest size.

I guess it depends on the context of the question. If someone asks if it's the normal oversized format, than no. If someone asks if it's oversized in comparison to the normal manga dimensions, it is.

Yes it's a pretty good summary of what's confusing for me :)

About halfway through it and as suggested by its title, only Ukranian eye witnesses are included (however, there's the above-mentioned follow-up based on Igort's travels through Russia).
Interestingly, it was published in 2010 but has people already saying things like "Putin will invade the Ukraine soon" or "there is an issue about Sewastopol" or "the country is split between pro-Westerners and pro-Russians", which in the light of recent events is a bit eerie (if perhaps not for Ukranians or Russians themselves who have/had more of an insight anyway).

An Amazon mistake clearly. If the description weren't already specific, then the higher price and Mek Files series make it an obvious hardback edition.
But yeah, Rebellion certainly have upped their game. One thing I would like to see an announcement of by the end of the year is of more high quality books reprinting older series', in a similar vein to the Zenith hardcovers. They've already announced the complete Dan Dare getting a collection so it doesn't seem entirely unlikely either. As for this new edition of the Case Files, for one volume at least, I hope that they take the time to include as much extra material as possible too, seeing as the Mek Files managed to reprint all the covers and pin-up art.
-
Vol 3 is in the house, two more to go. It has that extra plastic cover, like library copy but easy to remove. I'm not that crazy about keeping my books in shrinkwrap or whatever like some people here, but I guess it might be useful for some.

OK, I'll try here. Does anybody have Hellspawn HC with Templesmith art? Is it any good?[/QUOTE]
I've been eyeing that as well. It's out of stock on Amazon.ca, and indigo.ca only has 3 copies left, so for me it's kind of now or never.

Oh, I don't think it's going OOP, there are copies on UK Amazon, and plenty on marketplace.

[QUOTE=RIPLynott;897237]Im also collecting the absolute sized special editions of locke and key, but i wonder if they are discontinuing it. Havnt seen one in more than a year now.
On a side not i was thinking of getting the daily dredds, does anyone know how these differ from the complete case files? Thanks![/QUOTE]
Quick update on this one...after seeing your post I sent IDW publishing an email, and received the following response:
[I]A new volume for the Locke & Key Special Edition HC series releases once each year. The next volume in the series, Volume 4 Keys to the Kingdom, is tentatively scheduled for release this summer 2015.[/I]
So looks like we will hopefully be able to purchase volume 4 in a few months!
