On my 'to collect' list is certainly the Blacksad volumes by artist Juanjo Guarnido (see my feature on his sketchbooks here). I was a bit confused by the various editions of the books so i thought I'd work it all out to hlep me (and you!) out...
I'm indebted to this wikipedia page for helping me out with all of this...
The first story - Somewhere within the shadows
The 3rd story (Red soul) does not appear to have had an English-language translation.
This volume, from Dark Horse, collects the first 3 stories. I own this.
The 5th Blacksad story - Amarillo
This volume (which is labelled as volume one actually collects the first two parts of the 6th story, They all fall down - in France these two parts appear to have come out as separate volumes).
There's currently no release date for parts 3 & 4 of the They all fall down story.
There's also this volume - the sketch files - to look out for. Same format as the first two books highlighted above. Seems rare, out of print and pricy!
At the bottom of that Wikipedia page it does mention The Collected Stories which is pretty much the Intergrale translated. That includes Red Soul, some other short stories, plus the art book. It predates the recent albums that Dark Horse is slowly translating, with part 2 scheduled for later this year.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the page count, each US volume contains two French ones, so the second book should complete the story.
