The Collected Editions Shelf Porn: Show me the goods!

Wow never thought of the boys being drug addicts, that is definitely news to me.

Yup. Definitely not the usual Rosa fare.
He made it in 1970, when he was still in college, and a friend got the pages, to try to get them published, but obviously without success. They then lost contact, and the original pages were only found again in 2010, despite Rosa's own efforts to find them over the decades, when Egmont pushed for them to be included in the collection.
There are also other comics he made for the college newspaper, like an adaptation of 2001: A Space Oddyssey, with other students as the cast.
Here are the first 3 pages of "Return to Duckburg Place".



On a later page Gladstone shoots himself in the head. I was very surprised, that Disney would allow this to be published. And also Don Rosa having even made it in the first place.

I had no idea Turok started as a comic. Is it good?

It started in four color comics then spun off into it's own series.

My meager collection. All acquired within the last 14 months. I had no idea I’d have this many books in such a short time.

Very cool dude!

I’ve also been gathering graphic novels and collected editions only a short time. I have always been a collector of floppies with only occasionally grabbing a collected edition. But I love these so much more! No digging in boxes to try and read something or look at art.

Out of your collection what are you reading right now?

Currently reading Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus V2.

And thanks...I also like them on the shelf as opposed to floppies in a box. I had a good collection as a kid in the 80s, and after an aunt tossed them all out around 2000 or so, didn’t read any comics. Got into digital about 10 years ago, and opted to start collecting nostalgia-based Omnibus editions a little over a year ago.

I do love the Swamp Thing omnibus.

Collection update. I now have most of the books that I wanted to have but of course there is a significant backlog. I just calculated that I have only read 26% of these books so far

Nice. Wish i had space for another 5x5

*Oh, and whoever designed those knightfall covers should not only be fired immediately, but they should also not be allowed back in a collected editions department in any capacity.

All those beautiful books, and my eyes want to gravitate to that trainwreck of a design smh

I love how you have your Rebirth books all together. I have mine separated by character right now, but I'm going to rearrange my shelves when I move, and I think I'm going to do that too.

[Materiel]

I want to keep it that way, but I have no idea how things are going to end up. I already need another bookcase.

[JPAR]

Great collections, guys!

I finally sorted my bookshelf out today.
