Especially happy about Naja and the Bat-Manga HC since they cost me 8€ shipped each.

Jeez that's a large book!

LOL. Yeah, the bigger the better The "oversized" Cap Omni looks a bit like it could be used as a stamp for the Steranko AE.

It's the same size as all the EC AEs (MAD, Wally Wood, etc.) and the Eisner Spirit ones, btw. And I love it!

Anybody know what this series is about? Is it any good?

I intend on buying brodart wrappers for my dust jackets once I find a size that will fit absolutes and a place to buy them cheaply.

Yes, he uses Brodart, too, and he just taught me how to wrap them, so I wrapped a few of my books yesterday. I feel MUCH better having my dust jackets wrapped.

i personally love this series. it's a whole lot of fun with some great art from mooneyham. i have first two trades so far and will probably upgrade to the deluxe.

as for what it's about: fabian gray is a supernatural treasure hunter and can call on the spirits of five literary characters. think of indiana jones mashed with the unwritten for a rough idea.

Accidentally posted this in the shelf porn thread (heh):

Wow. Saga is great. I just read the whole HC in 2 sittings. It's gonna be like a year before the next one isn't it?

Man, Fiona Staples sure likes drawing dicks huh?

Try a year and a half. On the optimistic side. 18 issues. Gonna be a while.

Just watched documentary about Moebius and that made me wonder will we even get all his work printed in english, some big collection from Humanoids, you know.

BTW, do you know about more movies like that? As a kid I'd watched TV series about comics, not sure what english title would be, 'Comics 9th art unchained' maybe? It was great, story about comics, decade after decade but it was showing a lot about European market, Metal Hurland, Heavy Metal, Belgium market, and at that moment I was reading only DC and Marvel and some comics published in Poland. Somebody else knows what I'm talking about?
