Research has the count up to 18 portfolios...:blink:

Just one more little wrinkle...:D

In terms of publisher sets I may try for the Altas Seaboard comics and comic magazines (not going to collect their text magazines) and still looking for that last Speakeasy issue I need.

I terms of title sets I am very close to all 1,700+ issues in a 2000 AD set now and am slowly chipping away at Uncanny X-Men.

In no hurry at all.

I just ordered Groo 3, 5, and 7 at a little above guide.

The Art of Al Williamsom seems in plentiful supply on ebay but no one is selling affordable copies.

Only thing that might be missing is the signed/number hardback version of the Art of Al Williamson that i'm still waiting for confirmation on...:Whistling:

If we can verify any other art books...other than the Blade Runner book...I'll be happy to check them out for comic content...;)

PS: to Earl...

I scored you a 1st print of Rog...it will be in the box if I ever get around to sending it off...:blush:[/quote]

Someone selling the Williamson softcover on ebay is claiming the Williamson Hardcover edition doees not exist.

Earl.[/quote]

Funny you should mention it...:D

Just got a reply back from Jim VanHise, the author...

1) It was suppose to be the first of a series of "Art of..." books, but the company folded before publishing any others...
2) A hardcover was in the works and was announced, but never made it to press...
3) The Blue Dolphin imprint was just that...an attempt by the management at Pacific to establish a seperate imprint...

So that's an edition I don't have to look for...;):D

Thanks for the info Steph. I will track copies down in time. There are several for sale on ebay right now but nothing cheap.

Another Art Book by Blue Dolphin is 'The Art of Blade Runner' but I doubt that has any comic strip material in it.

Earl.

Indicia says:

Published by Blue Dolphin Enterprises, Distributed by Pacific Comics...

...and 70 out of 144 pages contsist of reprints of Williamson stories and strips...so I would say it fits the criteria...;):D

Published in both hardcover and softcover....

RE: Pacific Comics Collections

Lookwhoitis — Fri, 23 May 2008 12:19:53 GMT

[quote][b]Earl Davis (5/15/2008)[/b][hr]I think Blue Dolphin produced several art books like that. Never mentioned them before as they looked like art books and/or sketch books rather than comics. Of course if it's a compilation of comic strips by Al, rather than sketches then it would be a comic anyway. They also did a range of portfolio's of various comic, fantasy and sci-fi artists.[/quote]

another reason why blue dolphin should be a seperate entity...
