[QUOTE=MartinNL;193711]This seems to only be on amazon.co.uk and not amazon.com daft as it seems... Look what I did over here for easy navigation: [url]http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?4674-Discover-Collected-Euro-Comics!&p=193707&viewfull=1#post193707[/url][/QUOTE]
Holy Hannah that must have taken a while!. While these books never go OOP I guess Amazon.com doesn't feel there's enough interest from Americans in European comics to bother keeping them in stock. I'd much rather have one really nice Omnibus for these type of books to be honest, I really dislike have nearly 70 skinny hardcovers on the shelf.

I actually like lighter hardcovers, much easier to handle

Only a few minutes. Ideally they'd bundle them in 8 books, 3 volumes in each, but at their original size and not some crappy reduced size. There's already so much text in these books that reducing it might make it unreadable. When it comes to readability though these skinny hardcovers are easiest to read though when compared to those huge omnibuses and absolute editions that can become quite tiresome to read.

Still can't believe how small TEOTFW is, but what a great book! As is Luminous Incal of course. Alternatively you can also use UKpaperbackshop, that someone recommended in here too. Just ordered Metabarons Genesis Castaka with them for less than €30 including shipping.

Eventually they will put those Tintin books out in a great format in America and I will buy them. Especially if that second cartoon ever comes out.
Those Incal books look fascinating. I saw Jadorowsky's Dune and was just overwhelmed by the dude. Are the Humanoid versions censored or edited from the European release?

[QUOTE=victorxd1999;191432]I'm currently lookimg for a nice hardcover (or a good trade) with multiple unrelated stories (like War stories by Ennis). Any good ones you can recommend?[/QUOTE]
Any of the Fantagraphics EC Library books are great. Came the Dawn, collecting Wally Wood short stories (mostly horror), Johnny Craig's one collecting crime stories, John Severin's one coming out soon I think. There is a Harvey Kurtzman on collecting war stories and another one called Bomb Run that is also war stories that just came out I think.

Nope, no censorship in current humanoid books.

Awesome, did not know if they were the big ones or not. Probably going to pull the trigger on this, heard really good things.

well it's a lot of money, so i was hesitating at first, i've read incal many years ago, but my love for moebius art won after all, comicbook medium doesn't get much better that this imo.

Question for the Valiant fans: I just finisged the Harbinger deluxe and have Bloodshot deluxe ready to be read. Is it worth to be Harbinger Wars (the core mini), does it add a lot to the story? If yes, you thinj it's worth it to double dip on the deluxe Harbinger wars to have all the issues chronilogical in one book?

Although those themes are not my cup of tea i found writing in both Harbinger and Bloodshot surprisingly good, wars complemented the story nicely, is it deluxe worthy? I really can't say, have digital so not sure what issues are in those books, bleeding monk was pretty cool.

I believe the Harbinger Wars Deluxe is the 4 issue miniseries, along with the last 3 or 4 issues of both Volume 1 Editions of Harbinger and Bloodshot.
