Hyped for the planet hulk omni

>>90101365
>Mighty Thor Vol. 3 Omnibus
Excellent.

I am going to put my two JSA omnis and my Simonson Thor up for sale later this week.
I dislike the JSA books, and while I like Simonson, the omni has a fuckload of Sal Buscema and a less than optimal recolor.

Whoa! A dying shelfporn thread. Is this the end of paper reading /co/?

>>90101365
That Mazzucchelli Black & White statue is the only comic statue I own. Good taste OP

>>90101365
I ordered Hellboy Library Editions 3 and 5 (already have 4)
Volumes 6 and 7 of Berserk
All three volumes of Phantom Blood

I'm probably going to get this too now that I think about it.

>Punisher Back to the War Omnibus
What is this? Looking up Back to the War all I see is the title of the second issue of the original mini, so are we finally getting a collection of classic 80's Punisher?

>>90105726
PUNISHER: BACK TO THE WAR OMNIBUS HC

Written by GERRY CONWAY, LEN WEIN & STEVEN GRANT with ARCHIE GOODWIN, MARV WOLFMAN, DENNIS O'NEIL, FRANK MILLER, ROGER MCKENZIE, MIKE BARR, BILL MANTLO & JO DUFFY Penciled by ROSS ANDRU, TONY DEZUNIGA, FRANK MILLER & MIKE ZECK with KEITH POLLARD, FRANK SPRINGER, AL MILGROM, GREG LAROCQUE & MIKE VOSBURG Cover by DECLAN SHALVEY Variant Cover by MIKE ZECK

Frank Castle's war begins here! From his debut in Amazing Spider-Man to his hit 1986 Circle of Blood miniseries, the first entries in the Punisher's war journal are collected in this can't-miss Omnibus.

A grim figure willing to achieve justice by any means, the Punisher shook the black-and-white world of heroes and villains off its foundation. Top creators, from Frank Miller to Mike Zeck, brought a striking depth and moral resonance to the Punisher, and each of their character-defining stories is collected here. Featuring a massive trove of original art, sketches, posters and more, this is the definitive edition for every Punisher fan.Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #129, #134-135, #161-162, #174-175, #201-202 & ANNUAL (1964) #15; GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN (1974) #4; MARVEL PREVIEW (1975) 2; MARVEL SUPER ACTION (1976) #1; CAPTAIN AMERICA (1968) #241; DAREDEVIL (1964) #182-184; SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN (1976) #81-83; and PUNISHER (1986) #1-5.

696 pages, $100.

Anyone out there own the super huge omnibus for BLACKEST NIGHT?

I kinda want to hunt one down, and wanna know if it collects ALL of Blackest Night or just main issues and most direct connectors like GL and GLC.

Buy more floppies you fucking bums.

>>90106165
Why?

Posted in last thread. Got a second undamaged copy of Sir Alfred from Spit-And-A-Half (or, my LCS did). Probably gonna frame the print or maybe even the coaster. Plus it's so good it needs a "reading copy". Dunno if any /co/mrades noticed how many people's "Best of 2016" lists it made it on on TCJ.com. Masterpiece. The Box Brown comics is a kind of alternate universe Trump parody where his proxy never goes into politics...really great. Enjoying Highbone Theatre a lot, currently residing in my beach community which really adds to the enjoyment. And I bought the first two Diary Comics directly from Harbin, signed and sketched, but wanted the collection for those later strips with the beautiful inkwash work, where he's taking a lot more time over them.

>>90106165
You don't put them on the shelf though anon, they go in the long box.

>>90106213
Long boxes aren't located in some alt dimension.

Nobody posts pictures of floppies cause /co/ is full of pirates and trade waiters.

>>90106251
In my defense I don't wait for trades, I just have so much shit to go through from the past I haven't picked up a single ongoing series.

>>90106165
Realistically though there aren't many floppies worth buying, unless you're only into cape/genreshit...and most of them aren't even worth pirating, let alone actually purchasing

>>90105918
they collect different things though?

More just talking some shit but it is sad that we don't see floppies bagged and boarded more than we do.

>>90106307
Oops. Didn't realize that since I'm not that into Marvel.
Which is the recommended run between the two? Or are both good?

>>90106626
The MAX stuff is the best.

>>90106626
Most prefer the Max run that's collected in the complete collections but both are considered good. Tonally different runs. The Marvel Knights run is more humourous than Max.

Recent acquisitions.
Disappointed with Cowboy Wally's size. The older DC edition had bigger dimensions but hopefully Baker got some money out of me buying the new edition.

>>90106757
he self published it, doing a traditional album style dimension like it was initally done would probably cost way too much for him
iirc he also self publishes Why I Hate Saturn in floppies to save money

>>90106165
The stuff I want hasn't been available as a floppy for decades in most cases.
I have a lot of Kirby floppies, and all and all I prefer the omnis.

>>90106657
>>90106701
thnx bbs

>>90106850
Oh, I'm aware. I had found the Piranha edition of Why I Hate Saturn in an used book store and hoped I'd find more of his stuff and they eventually wounded with more of his works, an old Cowboy Wally edition but the new edition was cheaper online so I got it instead. I would have bought the new edition of it anyway to support Baker.

>>90106387
Fucking jealous, I really want that book. What didja think to Band For life? And do you enjoy the work of her paramour, Lane Milborn (who did 12 Emeralds (title?!))?
>>90106757
Holy shit you're only the second person apart from myself I've ever seen with a copy of Asthma--that's since I started lurking, which woulda been around 2009, I believe. Great comic. Great cartoonist. Did you see any of Hankiewicz's MOME work? There was a particularly good short bio comic of an old female jazz singer, forgotten her name, will check. His Kramers #7 piece was great, too. Anyway kudos for excellent taste (Baker isn't fucking bad either!!!).
Oh and I don't suppose you know but Jog mentioned that Reich has been put out by Alternative Comics--I asked on TCJ.com if they were actually REPRINTING it or merely selling old Sparkplug stock but I haven't had an answer yet. You know, Reich, Elijah Brubakers bio comic about Wilhelm Reich? I'm missing the last two issues so thi was good news to me and it's one of the best biographical comics I've ever read.
>>90106477
Lel, I wasn't trying to "best" you, /co/mrade, it's just I'm pretentious hipster scum who despises most contemporary corporate comics with very few exceptions!

BFL was all over the place, seemed more like she just winged most of it, it also has a very abrupt ending mid conversation. Lovers did too but it seemed well more thought out and proper to end that way. I've heard of Lane but never read anything of his.

>>90101365
Does any of you have Green Lantern collection shelves?
Would love to see if there is any trade I missed. Thanks.

Planet Hulk Omnibus is gonna be nice

>>90108180
I've ordered BFL, my LCS has your book in stock and they send the mail order out tomorrow so I'm gonna phone first thing and add a copy. Never followed BFL when it was on Vice but her comics just interest the hell out of me, her use of genre tropes etc and her general bad-assery as a person. Also her process and drawing tools fascinate me. She's no zak Sally but has an interesting way of making her pages. If you enjoy alt-sci-fi-outer-space-heist comics you might like 12 Gems. I really like his drawing--lots of rendering and cross-hatching--kind of like Crumb if he was solely influenced by "off-brand" space opera sci-fi comics and the same stuff his whole career and used just the cheesiest tropes from the genre he could find...it just fucking works, though. I dunno, maybe give it a go, Anon. Cheers for the reply!

>>90108494
Sorry, I obviously meant Lane Milborn in reference to 12 Gems

>>90107558
I haven't read Hankiewicz's work before, bought Asthma because it was on Sean T. Collins' Top 33 Graphic Novels list, Education was #2 on TCJ's best comics list two years ago and I could only get Asthma locally.
I haven't read Elijah Brubaker's work but I've heard good things. I do know that the Alternative Comics Reich issues are new reprints. The pricing for some of the issues are cheaper compared to the old ones.

>>90108369
The price of that should be illegal

This all I got, gonna add Defenders 3-6 and a Deadpool Omnibus

>>90108875
Hey man you made a great buy! His comics are poetry and TRULY pushing the form (even though it's an old-ish book...I got mine straight from Sparkplug, Dylan Williams was such a fucking bro and is sadly missed...SPB put out so much good stuff. The Trevor Alixopolus book Hot Breath of War is great, as is his first with Sparkplug which I forget the name of...he used to write a little note every time I ordered from them and chuck in loads of promo stuff like postcards and stickers, then started sending me free stuff...such a generous soul). Another great book from SP is Inkweed by Chris Wright, who went on to do Black Lung for Fanta, which is an amazing, amazing, brutal book...the evil twin of Drew Weing's Set To Sea, in my opinion.
You can still get the MOME's for cover price, if you want a list with the issues with Hanciewicz's stuff I'd be happy to sort you out. Sean T. Collins, along with Rob Clough and a coupla others are the few comics journalists whom I "trust". Any rec from them is 90% of the time rock-solid.
And yeah, I HIGHLY recommend Reich. Such an overlooked comic. Thanks so much for the info regarding that, Anon! I hope one day it gets collected--it fucking deserves to be!

Got these in today. Ghost in the Shell is a lot bigger than I expected. I think I'm going to pass on 1.5 & 2 though. I don't like Shirow's weird CG artstyle.

Also, anybody else see the listing for the Akira Deluxe edition? All six books in hardcover and as well the Akira Club artbook. I'm really excited.

>>90106212
I'm not sure I get the appeal of Sir Alfred. What I've seen of it hasn't really made me interested. Looks like solid cartooning, but nothing earth-shattering. I'm not familiar with Hitchcock nor the newspaper cartoons that I'm assuming Hensley is emulating, so I might just be not learned enough.

>>90112007
It's more influenced cartooning-wise by Stanley's Little Lulu stuff. It reprints some of the newspaper-style strips that originally appeared in MOME but apart from that is all original work, consisting or real stories, anecdotes and a few apocryphal stories about Hitch. A few bits won't give you the full picture of how amazing it is. It's packed with weird film-buff in jokes and ends with a short chapter where Francois Truffaut is recounting Hitch'c influence on other directors, using the device Hensley occasionally employs of having highly "cartoony" images next to fairly naturalistic depictions. It's a fractured biography...the closest I can think to compare it to, even though it's really nothing like it, is that Peter Sellers biopic starring Geoffrey Rush. Sir Alfred, like the aforementioned film, delights in playing with it's medium and Hensley's trademarked wordplay is excellently highlighted by this beautiful double-page splash. I have an A3 scanner now so I may storytime it sometime. Just out of interest what is it you've seen, the aforementioned newspaper-style strips that appeard in MOME and Smoke Signal? The rest of the book is not in that format at all. And as for solid cartooning, phew, Tim Hensley is a master craftsman. I remember first being blown away by his Duplex Planet work but he's just gotten better and better and better. Did you read Wally Gropius or even Ticket Stub? His thought processes are entirely unlike any other cartoonists...his way with language is completely sublime. I really recommend you giving it a go, Fanta still have some "lightly damaged" copies for sale. Plus, it's just an absolutely beautifully-presented art object. I really think Hensley is, as Mailer said about W. S. Burroughs, "possessed by genius". Like, Gropius is the closest thing comics have to Joyce's Ulysses, in terms of the palpable joy of playing around with the form. But Hensley's not doing it to show off and he's funnier than Joyce anyday!

>>90105790

Hm. So basically a better version of Essential Punisher vol. 1.

Stoked for reprint of Ennis and NTT and finally getting a Planet Hulk omni.

>>90112007
Sheeeiiit, that new GITS looks good. Recommend it? Lesbian orgy or no?

I picked up Fever Closing last year but still haven't read it

>>90112007
Last comment was too long but I went to the Breakdown panel at Thought Bubble last year and spoke with a couple of their cartoonists at their table. The publishers seem a little too much like trust fund snooty public school boys but Tom Kessler (?), the guy who does Windowpane, was really nice but pretty quiet. I bought nearly all of their Antoine Cosse books (which are great), I think they're an ace outfit, one that makes me proud to be British, but by God they didn't half come across as elitist cunts. What's the Luke Cobb stuff like? He's a Brit, isn't he? I think some of their stuff is too self-consciously trying to re-invent the wheel, like you get the impression their company bible is Kramers 4 (not in itself a bad thing!) but the reason I like Cosse so much is that he doesn't seem to have eschewed "straight-up" narrative as much of some of the cartoonists on their roster.

I just realized that DC haven't solicited a second Vigilante collection yet, and vol.1 was announced several months ago. Are they gonna gauge the interest for its continuation off the back of vol.1?

>>90113443
I missed the panel, sounds like it was for the better. They weren't at their table either when I was picking up shit but the dude selling his wares to the left of them was filling in for them, lovely chap.

Apparently Treasure Island book one went OOP recently, thank fuck I have all three. Imagine they'll do a bigger trade collection down the line but I love that one-colour risograph format

>>90113615
the bs thing about that is the first volume is just Wolfman's run and it doesn't get badass until Kuppenberg takes over

>>90113662
Which is what, halfway through IIRC? It'll take at least another 3 volumes for them to get to that point in its 50 issue (plus 2 annual and one Showcase) run, and I seriously doubt it'll get that far

>>90112007
Yeah I preordered the Akira box set. Does the GITS in your pic contain the lesbian orgy? Or did they censor it?

>>90113615
Yeah we got there really early, the panel was at, like, 10:30 I think?
Was Treasure Island originally the webcomic or am I thinking of a different Connor Willumsen work? If it's the same thing what I saw of it was fucking great, I have one of his early minis but no Breakdown stuff of his. Have you ever been to The Lakes Comic Festival? The Page 45 crew (who I basically buy all my comic from) go there every year and Willumsen and the Comics Workbook posse were there last year, Jonathan (from Page 45) said he got to chat briefly to Frank Santoro who was really nice and sorted out a deal with John Porcellino's Spit-And-A-Half to obtain stock from him, which'll expand their amazing selection even more. Page 45 rule, they recently scored me an OOP copy of Jean-Pierre Filieu and David B's Best of Enemies volume 2 straight from the publisher "on the off chance they had any spare copies about". And they got me a copy of Gabby Schulz's Sick, which I insist is one of the best comics of 2016...it's like being dragged through an emotional sewer. It was originally a webcomic but Secret Acres made Schulz re-draw it and I'm so glad they did, instead of flat PS colours it was re-rendered in watercolour and a little coloured ink (over the b & w linework) and is as beautiful-looking as it is harrowing. God, I fucking love Ken Dahl/Gabby Schulz....

DC stays soliciting and canceling shit. I hate their trade department

>>90113386
>>90113862
Looks like they removed that page. Fuckers.

>>90113205
See, most of that doesn't persuade me because I don't really care about Hitchcock. The only pages I've seen of the work are from reviewers or previews. Everything seems pretty standard. I didn't see anything that jumped out at me as new or interesting ways to do comics. But maybe the parts I've seen don't represent the whole. It's just making me scratch my head because usually I'm onboard with what people are raving about. Maybe this just isn't for me. If you storytime it, I'll certainly give it a chance and pick it up if I like it (and if I still can).

>>90113443
I like the books that have put aside "straight-up" narrative. I'm not really concerned with narrative in comics for the most part. I come for the art. I don't know if I'm able to describe him as an artist yet because I've only read one book by him so far, but I will say that certain elements of his style (coloring, word bubbles, figure drawing at times) remind me of Arsene Schrauwen which is what made me check him out in the first place.

is $100 for 25 single issues on ebay a good deal?
t. new to comic collection

>>90106165

thats above cover price per issue even now let alone when those came out.... don't do it.

>>90116287
Hah, I don't particularly care about Hitchcock myself! I mean Rope is one of my favourite films but...I dunno, the subject matter isn't really the point, more a jumping off point for Hensley's imagination. I would definitely argue that you don't have to be interested in Hitchcock in the slightest to enjoy Sir Alfred.

I guess I'm fairly old fashioned in that however "far out" the comics I like are, I still like to have a narrative element. I mean, Schrauwen's a strongly narrative cartoonist, isn't he? Mowgli's Mirror is telling a traditional narrative, same as grave, Arsene, the MOME aka man Who Grew His Beard stuff...in fact apart from abstract comics (and some of Hankiewicz's stuff) I can't think of any comic that totally disregards narrative...they're just presenting it in a very very fresh and interesting way. I guess you could even include some of Panter's work in there too...oh there are people like Jason Overby and Aidan Koch who just present a series of unconnected drawings, they're the only ones I can think of who've more-or-less totally abandoned narrative. I'm all for pulling the medium apart and stretching it's limits. I just prefer stuff with at least a semblance of story.

>>90116287
I meant Greys, not grave, by the way!

you didn't ask for rec's but..

DD Man without Fear
Simonson Thor
Hellboy

they're all out in cheap tpb's, also finish the series you have that you liked if any.

>>90119251
Yeah I've been looking for a cheap copy of the next Hickman New Avengers and my LCS sold out of vision v2 instantly so I'm definitely still working on that.
About Thor, I've always preferred Loki-Centric stories like Gillen's Journey into Mystery, but I'll look into it.
In terms of Hellboy, my instinct would tell me to get larger collected editions for a series so extensive, but what do you recommend?

>>90118557
Schrauwen is definitely still very narrative in his comics, but that's not why I like him. I like the art and panel layouts and colors more than the narrative. Narrative often makes these elements better by giving them meaning, but the general art of the comic is the meat & potatoes to me.

I think there is also a difference between a narrative created to tell a story and a narrative created to draw around. I feel like some of the Breakdown Press authors like Lando, have a narrative in their stories only for the purpose of connecting their drawings. Sure, there is a narrative, but barely. As for authors that have completely forgone narrative, that's a smaller few. I can really only think of alt-mangaka for that. People like Sasaki Maki or Koike Keiichi (sometimes at least). I can't really think of any western creators off the top of my head. Maybe the "comics as poetry" crowd (Sarah Ferrick, for example)?

>>90119648
what about Anders Nilsen? I read Big Questions and really enjoyed it

>mfw I can't post my recent purchases

>>90105833
The omnibus basically is the first Essential Punisher book, which goes for a pretty penny on the secondary market since, until the omnibus was announced, it was the only way to read those early Punisher books (which sell for huge bucks on the secondary market).

If they ever start collecting the ongoing, I really hope we get a deal where they collect EVERYTHING (Punisher, War Journal, Warzone) in chronological publication order.

Also, for the Marvel UK Star Wars stuff, isn't that stuff already available in the third Marvel SW omnibus?

>>90106064
The omnibus collects the main Blackest Night mini, the GL tie-ins but only one issue of GLC (the Katmai Tui/John Stewart on Xanshii issue)

>>90122465
>which sell for huge bucks on the secondary market

The mini can be big bucks, but you can find #1 of the ongoing series for less than $20. Which I understand is still way more than most people want to spend on a single issue

>>90122506
What batbooks?

>>90122225
have you read Sam Zabel? I really like Horrocks

>>90111762

The original NTT omnibuses were infamous for fucking up the issue count (they had to drop #38, Who is Donna Troy, from the second volume because they had originally forgot to add the Batman and the Outsider issue that crossed over with NTT #37 and the bean counters told them that adding an extra issue would mean changing the price point, which they would not allow; not to mention the clusterfuck of fail and AIDS that was volume 3).

That said, they are just combining the most recent TPB series it looks like, which creates it's own issues since the current TPB series fucked up too, omitting the DC Digest story that takes place after issue #16).

>>90107780
Which issues?

>>90105833
The original mini basically has little to do with the ongoing actually. It wrapped up plot threads from the last couple of guest spots in Spider-Man, mainly Bill Mantlo's subplot where Punisher's mental state had started collapsing and he was trying people for littering and jaywalking and crap, along with the thread from Daredevil where it was implied that there was a bunch of people in high places who liked the Punisher and wanted to use him as a tool for their own agendas....

>>90123026
I mostly just love the Mike Zeck art

>>90122870
The original Punisher mini has been reprinted a couple of times. It was never the selling point.

The chief selling point for Essential Punisher has always been the fact that it's the only COMPLETE collection of his early appearances, the bulk of which go for huge bucks on the secondary market, along with the fact that it has the two magazine stories (including the original origin story) that have never been reprinted in any format.

For ages, you either had to pay out the ass for the original ASM/PPSM issues or buy the Marvel Tales reprints (they literally spent a year reprinting all of Punisher's Spider-Man book early appearances in 1989) to get those stories.

>>90116744
Omnibuses are generally a good deal; basically the most bang for your buck.

Some little GN I picked up from a bargain bin for like $3. It's about a Jewish kid in Manhattan during the 20s whose father tells him not to grow up to be a gangster. Surprise! He does and Surprise! It has unforseen consequences. It's overall meh and I found it predictable.

>>90125321
That's weird. Definitely doesn't seem like something Shirow would do, considering his recent works.

are we back? nice.
whatcha going to order from the Marvel sale?
Fantastic 4 voö 1-3 (the Kirby stuff) and Annihilation Conquest here

Europeans take heed, cheap-comics.com participates in the sale, haven't found anyone else doing it yet, at least no one's announcing it.

Read some Superman/Action Comics from between Infinite Crisis and Flashpoint. That stuff is almost universally good to excellent, with a few exceptions (JMS' run of Superman, 3,2,1 Action, that Death of the New Gods tie-in and a few of Fabian Nicieza's filler issues, plus overall the Camelot Falls arc wasn't really good at all), all in all around 100 issues, combined with the New Krypton crossovers into Supergirl and the other special issues you're looking at a whooping 150 issues at the very least.

>>90125260
I'd be more excited if the new Defenders had Dr Strange

>>90122490
That's a bummer. I'd think I'd rather just try to collect all the floppies in a big ol brick.

>>90125260

But I am still pretty excited nonetheless. And Essentials is cheap as fuck but I got the MM for free.

>Why do you have Essential volumes 1 and 2 but then MM vol 2 of the same series?
probably because he upgraded to colored later on. I won't throw my LoSH showcases away just because I'm going to upgrade to the Omni(s)

>>90119648
I totally agree. The art is the meat and potatoes for me, totally. I mean I could list all my favourites but they'd be mostly from the Golden Age of the Alternative Floppy, the Hearst cartoonists, a smattering of underground cartoonists, a few of the younger post-Fort Thunder/Kramers 4 crowd and a couple of "mainstream" comic artists. Art has always been the most important thing in a comic to me--I guess it was you who I was talking to about Mowgli's Mirror being the most beautiful comic I've ever read? And I'm totally with you as concerning the difference between what's basically "a writer who draws" (say, Kim Deitch) and "an artist who writes" (like the aforementioned Lando. I have a mate who's crazy for all that stuff but his style doesn't do a lot for me. There's the other guy who's part of that collective, shit, forgotten his name, he has a really rough, almost Panter-esque line, John something?--Hayley "Goddess" Campbell interviewed him for TCJ either last year or the year before. Didn't like the thing that was promoted in that interview, though, where he didn't pencil, it just looked awful and smacked a bit of The Emperor's New Clothes. That one weird fight comic he did with just the two naked men (?) was cool, though). Do you like Jon Vermilyea? I get the impression Fata Morgana (and his other self-published stuff) was very much a drawing showcase with a flimsy narrative.
I think the "Graphic Novel" or the "literary" comic has had it's time and the alternative movement should either go forward like the BD Press stuff, or backwards, to funny, stupid, almost slapsticky stuff (hence my love of Fuzz & Pluck). I read Last Look for the first time recently and it just struck me how old fashioned all those guys are, Patience was a fucking disappointment...I have a feeling Ware'll come back with his next project and blow us all away again. The only guy who's still great from the five or six Alt Comics Gods is Jaime Hernandez...

>>90119648

My pull list is getting ridiculous now. I'm on 10+ every week, can't keep this shit up.

Moving to a new city in a couple of weeks and going to slash it by like 2/3s when I set up my order in a new store. Cut it to the bone.

>>90129723
Oooh that's more what I'm looking for.
But I already got everything up to BK in trade so it'd be hard to justify rebuying 3-4 story trades I got.

My LCS is having a back issue sale so I'm gonna just hunt down the whole series desperately and maybe it'll come out reasonably priced.

>>90131748
They're making more Serenity comics? As in Firefly serenity, or totally different?

Also keep keeping the industry alive. Maybe lose Batgirl and TT but that's cause personally I don't care too much for those two.

I know it's a book and not a comic but how's Grant Morrison's Supergods?

>>90132426

It's another Firefly sequel, yeah, same as the other few series they've done.

I've only read the first issue as my LCS missed #2 from my standing order, and by the time I got a copy 4 of 6 were out, so I'm just going to wait for it to finish and read it in one go.

I'm still enjoying Batgirl actually. I've fallen out with BOP so that will get the chop, but still into the main book.

Forgot to say you reminded me of Ed Pinsent, who was a huge presence in the Brit self-publishing/Escape scene in the 80's/90's--whilst I'm not that keen on his art at all his comics are like poetry, or Borges stories. He's a legend to a certain faction of (mostly British) comics fans. He's mentioned in Dylan Horrocks' Hicksville, remember?--the local Postie is "more of a fan of the British contemporary self-publishing school, people like Ed Pinsent" etc etc...
>>90125260
Have you heard of Tim Hensley? Did Wally Gropius. Sir Alfred is an account of Alfred Hitchcock's life told in short anecdotes, real incidents and apocryphal stories. Only 1000 copies were printed, it's NEVER going to be reprinted, they're all signed and numbered by the author and contain a letterpressed drink coaster and an embossed print. His drawing apes the John Stanley Little Lulu style. And he's a genius. But if you're not into more "unorthodox" non-corporate comics I wouldn't bother.

>>90148499
dope, can you explain whats up with the WW Rebirth trades
vol 1 is issues #1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11
vol 2 is issues #2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14

would it make sense if i pick up volume 1?

>>90148738
Odd issues + Rebirth special take place in the present and are drawn by Liam Sharp

Even issues take place in the first year of Wondy's career and are drawn by Nicola Scott.

>>90148738
They do alternating stories each issue. So vol 1 collects that story, while vol 2 collects the other story. It's the same writer for both, but separate artists. I think they basically did it to keep the bi-monthly turnaround without taxing the artist. The stories loosely connect, but it's nothing you'll miss by reading out of order.
Before this series, I only read a Wonder Woman issue here and there, but I've really enjoyed this book so far.

>>90148987
>>90149057
Thanks a ton guys and i'm the same boat as >>90149057 not really read anything Wondy related but i'm definitely interested in reading some.

Okay...first shelf top left Kramers Ergot #'s 5, 4 and six...might be Snake Eyes 1 and 2 next to them? Next is Graphic Fiction volume 2 (an "alt comics primer edited by Ivan Brunetti I REALLY recommend, volume 2 has the Clowes dustjacket, volume 1 has the Seth one), not sure what the next one is but the next two are Art In Time and Art Out of Time, Picturebox anthologies of old, forgotten comics from ALL eras and genres collected by Dan Nadel)....not sure what the next book is....only thing I can make out in the second is the aforementioned Coober Skeeber...third box is half Love And Rockets collections, dunno what the stuff on their sides are....First box second tier I can see some early issues of MOME, and that's a Ben Jones/Paper rad book next to the Inkstuds book (which is a colletion of interviews with mainly alt creators from the podcast...d'ya mind if I do the rest later? I need something to eat! Promise I will!

>>90158517
Hot Potatoe/Pure Pajamas are books by the excellent Marc Bell which I wholeheartedly recommend...what I can make out of his stuff is flawless and a lot like my collection. Excellent taste from an excellent cartoonist. I think the aforementioned Ben Jones book is BJ And Da Dogs.

>>90158638

Hah it's lunchtime over here! Was gonna stop namefagging but I won't, so if you see me about or start a thread on alternative recs, I'll be there for you, /co/mrade.
Leslie Stein is amazing and an utter sweetheart. Time Clock was amazing, one of my faves of 2016, I have all her stuff apart from volume 1 ot EOTMC ('cause I bought all the self-published comics collected in there directly from her signed and sketched).

>>90158681
Btw my mate Loady Mcgee doesn't namefag on here anymore but he's the Van Sciver uber fan, start an alt recs thread and who knows he may turn up. In fact if you do I'll drag his ass on here from Normiebook!

>>90158727
dang, yeah Time Clock was my favorite comic of 2016 period and I bought both of EOTMC right after reading it but didn't enjoy them as much but really relate to her so much
I wish I could get a sketch from her she really makes some beautiful stuff

>>90158752
You have great taste /co/mrade, period

>>90158495
>Btw you sure that's the right link?
still works for me
else visit the main site and find it under "shelfie", with other cartoonists too

>>90158495
>Btw you sure that's the right link? It 404's...
Works fine for me.

>>90158752
Oh, I just noticed the Graphic Fiction volume 1 right in the bottom right corner. Seriously these are beautiful anthologies, mostly classic Golden Age alternative stuff, a tiny bit of UG stuff, some old Hearst cartoons, Fort Thunder stuff, stuff from those post#4 Kramers Ergot's, obscure things from old anthologies that would cost a lot to buy now...Clowes, Ware, Seth etc are well-represented...been into alt stuff myself since like '95 but those two volumes turned me onto cartoonists I hadn't heard of, and I thought I knew A LOT about alt/UG stuff....so, yeah, highly recommended, you can still get them for cover price, they're both still in print, and the embossed pics on the actual hardcovers under the dustjackets are beautiful--Saul Steinberg for vol. 2 and two great Karl Wirsum (Chicago Hairy Who-collective painter whose work is very comics informed) drawings on volume 1. They're just great packages and I guarantee you'll fall in love with at least two creators from each volume whom you've never heard of!

How reliable are Amazon Marketplace conditions? It says that only 'acceptable' may not come with the dust jacket, but I'm assuming there's a very good chance a good or very good item won't come with it either, right?

>>90170159
"good" condition sometimes doesn't come with a dustjacket either, and apparently that's backed by amazon. had that problem with a Forgotten Realms book once.

>the difference between The Uncanny Xmen 4 and the rest of them, for no apparent reason.

That shit would give me a tumor.

>>90170573
Eh, not worth the gamble. I'll keep stalking eBay I guess.

>>90131748
Get rid of that Soule garbage, you fucker.

>>90171240
you can ask the seller, you know. problem is a lot of them say some bullshit like "yeah uh we don't have it in the shop but in a separate warehouse so we can't check" they can't expect me to buy their stuff either then.
anyway. very good = everything's there. if it doesn't have the dust cover then you can complain and amazon is VERY strict with their market sellers about that shit. replacement when it isn't as described or money back.

Do your copies of Ghost in the Shell have wavy pages? I picked mine up at Books a Million and all three have noticeably wavy pages.

>>90159480
The solicit is wrong, they just reused the solicit from the first printing, which also had different content than what it said. It's probably the exact same shit.

that animal farm looks tacky as fuck.
and that penguin classics book is heart of darkness? in any case, penguin classics are so fucking cheaply made, there is a high risk they fall apart during first reading.
if you ordered them on amazon, send them back, buy Everyman's Library editions instead. relatively cheap, binding is awesome, overall really well made (especially those they printed in Germany). you'll have to pay a bit more for them but they are just top notch. trust me, it's worth it.

I'm new to comics and lurk these threads for ideas, this Fletcher Hanks book seems great.

>Fletcher Hanks (1889 1976) is an artist who, under various pseudonyms, wrote, drew, penciled, and inked his entire body of comics work from 1939 1941. Some consider his Fantomah character to be the first female superhero. He was an abusive alcoholic who was found frozen to death on a park bench.

it's when the paper is really shit. a lot of marvel tpbs and even the HCs and if you're really unlucky, the Omnis as well, have that problem.

>>90195716
he's right though, you know? what a fucking bomb crater.

I've seen people who don't have the wavy pages with their Ghost in the Shell copies. So it is likely thanks to humidity.

Dunno. I picked it up off the shelf to rearrange some things and noticed the pages are all wavy. Haven't noticed any of my other books looking like that.

I paid almost that just to catch the first volume of Hickman's FF just before it went OOP itself and doubled in price.

I'm jelly, but I'm holding out for a reprint.

>>90217598
Got the first FF By Hick Omni, used, about a year ago for 120.
Also recently got the first CapAm by Bru Omni for close to cover price, but it didn't get here yet. You've gotta keep your eye out for bargains, man.

>>90217598
there should definitely some kind of reprint upcoming considering he is going to show up in the netflix stuff

>>90219760
You say that but we're coming up on the third Thor movie and I can't even get my Stracinsky or Simonson reprints.

>>90221924
I paid like $90 for mine, but I love it too much to ever sell it unless I just completely decide I hate comics soon.

Selling my Annihilation omni is tempting though.

>>90221788
Lol, I sold mine weeks ago

>>90222127
I have the entire Hickman run in floppies, so I may just sell the Omnis and bind my issues. Such a good run though, and the omnis look awesome on the shelf.

>Annihilation Omni
Ugh, I really regret not getting that one. Really, I regret not getting a LOT of omnis. It seems like they almost always go up in value.

>>90220697
>I know its gonna get reprinted soon
I doubt it. If they were gonna do it for the Netflix series, they'd do it by now. I mean, the Omnis featured in May solicits will only come out around September, and there won't be any point putting it out later. Hell, there wouldn't be a point in putting it in May.
>>90221788

The JMS' Fantastic Four story where he wrecked Vegas - which was the last straw and the reason why the Illuminati decided to shoot him into space in the first place - and the very meh prologue by Daniel Way (though, to be fair, "very meh" is the best he'd ever manage) about how they used a Nick Fury LMD to trap Hulk on a satellite they used to shoot him into space.

>>90222127

The Simonson run is still available in TPB , so is Iron Fist in the collected editions.... I'd be willing to bet marvel is reluctant to reprint omnis of other stuff theyre still currently printing...

In a way theyd kinda be undercutting their own sales...whos going to pick up the IIF collected trades if theres an omni reprint, for ex.
