Trades and Hardcover you got recently

[Deathstroke]

I picked up the hardcover collection Firefly - New Sheriff in the 'Verse Vol. 1.

I also got the softcover trade collections for The Clock (which was originally published as a monthly miniseries but I'm pretty sure they put out only two issues before the pandemic scuttled plans. The softcover trade collection of Starship Down was similarly affected I believe because I only got the first issue of that series as well.

Not quite comics...but I've become a huge fan of Junji Ito. Been buying all of his work...currently reading "Smashed"

My kids used to watch Cybersix on Teletoon, and it caught my eyes as well. When I found out it was based on a Graphic Novel from Argentina, I looked into it too. However, it was never released in English. Waited for years in a hope that one of the publishers will pick it up, but I don't think that is going to happen, so finally, I decided to buy the French version. Especially since they were starting to get very pricy. It is a 12 book series each almost 200 pages long. That is an amazing 2400 pages total, by the same team of two creators Carlos Trillo, and Meglia.



Few sample pages of the interior art.

More pictures to my recent purchase of the whole Cybersix series.
I don't speak nor understand French, but having watched the animation series I can follow the story... somewhat.
(Sorry, for the blurry pictures)



I read that they toned the animation down for all ages, and I can validate that this is true. The comic book is aimed at a mature audience.
More samples from inside.

About 10 years ago I decided to buy once again all the Alan Ford issues drawn by Magnus (Roberto Raviola).
I used to have most of them back in Yugoslavia as a kid but had to leave them behind when I started migrating.
The new reprints I found came in 3 different formats:
1. Digest size trades (same as the original books)
2. Slightly bigger trades with color interiors (as opposed to the B&W originals)
3. Digest size Hard Covers (my preferred presentation. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them all in this variation so I filled the holes with the above options as well)
Ultimately I was able to complete the set of all 75 issues.

However, Magnus did return for one last stint on the anniversary issue #200, which wasn't released at the time I bought the series.
I kept my eyes open for a while, but years past and I forgot about it until recently.
Started looking for #200 a few months ago, and I found a store that had it in stock. While the price of the books itself was decent the shipping wasn't.
Basically, the seller would only ship registered parcels. To get more bang for my buck I had to add quite a few books to spread the shipping cost thin over the whole package.
Thankfully, he had a great selection, so I was able to add several STRIPOTEKA magazines to the order plus a few non-Magnus-drawn Alan Ford issues where the main villain is Superciuk (my favorite antagonist of the series). Again I wasn't able to get all of them in Hard Cover, but most of them were still available in this desirable format.

Blueberry collects albums 10 to 12
And that first Tintin story was one of the few that I didn't have

I haven't decided if I'll read it yet. I bought it more because it reprints an extremely rare and historical comic.
I thought the price for the hardcover was reasonable.

Another hardcover from my last year's purchase, with another MAGNUS (Roberto Raviola) art.
This time he changed his trademark (caricature) style to match the more realistic visuals TEX WILLER was known for.
This is also his very last work before his death in 1996.
He worked on this 223-page book for 7 years.
