It shouldn't be too much of a stretch for Marvel; they've already done 6 Masterworks, which will be enough for 2 omnis! Fingers crossed :)

Man, I haven't posted in a while, but really don't have much to show for it:

Also started collecting L&R (Why...

SpeedyHen are my go-to for Humanoids books. They've even managed to come through on a few back orders on books that seemed out of print at first glance.

How about Reed Crandall, or the Savage Sword of Conan team-up of John Buscema (pencils) & Alfredo Alcala (inks)?

Pretty much. Books are duty free and exempt from VAT in the UK, so you won't have to pay any import duty or tax. To do things properly, the seller should fill out a CN22 form (or similar) with the...

Just arrived today:

Story seems almost non-existent, but goddamn that art is good.

Right, I'm going to order Woodwork at the end of the month - seriously! If you're going to get one of the Toth art books, grab Genius Illustrated, but all three are brilliant. Genius Animated is...

Yeah, Showa is excellent; can't wait for vol.3. Onward Towards our Noble Deaths is also really worth reading, covering similar ground to parts of Showa 1939-1944 (specifically Mizuki's time on New...

You're welcome, and you can't go far wrong with Kubert's war comics. Enemy Ace is my personal favourite :)

Honestly, that's part of the trouble with Toth; as good as his artwork and storytelling was, too often he was drawing from a shitty script. Setting the Standard is a good selection of his work across...

Yeah, D&Q have released a few Mizuki books over the last couple of years, translating his work into English for the first time. Showa is going to be five volumes in total, and vol.3 is out in...

Haven't posted in a while, so here's about 2 1/2 weeks' haul:

Big thanks to LordJulius for recommending Showa;...

Hell yeah, can't wait for this one:

Spawn of Mars and Other Stories by Wallace Wood (Fantagraphics EC Library)

Yeah, I have the slipcase collecting the first four books (Davis, Kurtzman, Williamson & Wood), but plan on collecting the rest of the series. Really nice little books, with great repro. Personally I...

Welcome! I'm sure your blog was what convinced me to buy the Hellboy library editions (and the BPRD hardcovers), so my shelf porn is partly your fault :p

Yeah, it'll likely be a second print. I had it on back order with SpeedyHen for almost 2 months, and got the second print (early, it seems; the publication date is stated as September 2014). If you...

Went a bit crazy this week...

First up, a bunch of heavily discounted, remaindered FB/D&Q books:

...completed...

Yeah, they're pretty good at getting stock back in, so long as their suppliers still have stock. They've surprised me a few times with Humanoids books in particular. That said, they did just cancel...

His earlier 2000AD work is awesome, and frequently horrific. Ghost already mentioned Necronauts, but there's also A Love Like Blood, Judge Death: My Name is Death and a bunch of 5-6 page Future...

Antony - What do you think of Humanoids' growing success in the English-language market? Obviously they're mainly going for a niche, high-end approach with limited print runs, but their business...

White spine/Marvel logo at the top = US Marvel edition
Black spine/Marvel logo at the bottom = UK Panini edition

I don't collect Marvel trades, but the owner of my LCS loves the Panini editions...

My personal favourite is James Robinson's 6-part afterword in the Starman Omnibus books. It's just a brutally honest, heartbreaking, confessional read that clearly shows that Starman was a labour of...

No worries! I've never used CGN as their international shipping is too expensive, but thought I'd check just in case they had stock.

The entire book block bulges outwards, rather than being...

Nice, you won't regret it. Sorry Dorktron, it really is one stunning book! There are still some copies out there for less than cover price. I've already posted a link to Forbidden Planet (that's the...

I'm sure it'll flex a bit over time, but my first impression was "Seriously DC... again?!". Unfortunately, the first warning sign was 'Printed in the USA'.

Here you go, apologies for the camera...
