i forgot you were britisher aldo; a lot of that stuff is on the outskirts of my awareness.resurrecting the thread gave me a push to update more on my own list... cataloguing the pile o' cerebus now and moving to the halfway mark in the bookshelves.

Well, okay, so here's the maybe 10% of my collection (and maybe 1/5 of my Essentials collection) that is currently shelved and not obscured by boxes (of comics that need to be shelved):

Makes me realise how little Marvel I have.

I'm certainly on the opposite end of the Big Two spectrum. The only Showcase volumes I have are the four Legion trades, the first Jonah Hex and Green Lantern books, and Dial H For Hero. Oh, and Ambush Bug, naturally.

Whereas I did some figuring last night and realized that I need a little more than 20 Essentials to complete the set.

Starting to buy the Masterworks Xmen titles has made me realised what a huge amount i was missing reading that stuff in B&W essentials. It's a world of difference.

Holy cow you guys, that is a lot of fucking comics. Nice work!
By comparison I have maybe two shelves' worth of assorted graphic novels, about six long boxes worth of beat-up DC comics from the 80s and 90s, and 3-4 long boxes worth from, er, the existence of ILC onwards.
Also I think I left High Society on the toilet reading shelf at my parents' house, and it's still there 20 years later.

Both of you guys have Luba hardcover but not High Soft Lisp? I tend to think of them as companion books.

Yeah, I've got High Soft lisp. It's definitely in there.

L&R l-r - Covers book, Art of Jaime, Love Bunglers HB, new Tales of Old Palomar, Bumperhead, Marble season, Luba, Titan Collected editions, New Stories, Birdland, High Soft Lisp, Adventures of Venus, Beto Movie Books.

As a physical object, High Soft Lisp kind of irritates my anal sensibilities in that Fantagraphics seemed to be abandoning the original L&R trade series in favor of the digests/oversized hardcovers and then HSL came out and threw everything off. At any rate, I have all of L&R v2 in single issues. I only have the Luba HC because I was tired of waiting for the post-v1 Gilbert stuff to be released in digests.

okay, i've got about 2/3 of the physical collection catalogued now. I'll take photos at some point i suppose, but take a flip through this and lemme know if there's anything of interest?
