Haven't pulled the trigger yet actually. I made the thread hoping to get some input and push me over the edge to buying. I was just curious if these were the best way to read them and how quality they are inside.

Perhaps somebody can help me. From what I understand the English adaptations start from Chihuaha Pearl. Is there a reason for that? Did we never get the earlier sagas?

I pulled a bit of Blueberry from a win-o not too long ago. It's well made stuff, but I found I read it in short bursts as opposed to marathons. Dunno why, the story wasn't particularly strenuous. It's not the kind of thing I would feel the need to spend gobs on, but it is the best Eurowestern comic series I've read to date.

Appreciate the honest response. I see it so critically acclaimed here and elsewhere and I'm such a huge fan of westerns that it has me really tempted to pull the trigger. Just having physical Moebius art would be awesome.

Maybe I'll read the first chapter or so online if I can find it before deciding.

Probably not a bad idea. It deserves the acclaim from crafsmanship alone, don't get me wrong. And I'm a sucker for physical copies too.

What would you be paying for it if you don't mind my asking?

~$260 once shipping and tax are factored in so around $45 per book

That's about what I paid per book on the Hellboy Library editions, seems a fair price.

Hellboy is another I've always wanted to read but felt like I should own physically before starting. I'm jealous.

Ah, well. When you get around to that one, trades are fine. I know a lot of people that prefer them as they're easier to loan to friends/read on a commute/generally carry around.

Give it an honest shot sometime though. Read to Chained Coffin to get a proper sense of it, Mignola didn't write V1, and V2 has some growing pains.
