Hello,

I recently started collecting comic books again. When adding series that I already had, I ran into that a certain number of those series is less readily available than another number, or that a number is a lot more expensive. Sometimes I can come up with an explanation for it, sometimes not. Sometimes there is a statement in the catalog (see eg Thorgal hc part 17). I am curious about your experiences and possible explanations. I hereby give some examples with my possible explanation:

  • Franka sc part 16: first edition at new publisher?
  • Schemerwoude sc part 11: ditto?
  • Comanche sc part 15: ditto?
  • The valiant knight sc part 20: ditto?
  • Jugurtha sc part 16: ditto?
  • The worlds of thorgal, kriss of valnor hc part 1:?
  • Thorgal hc part 29:?
  • Jeremiah HC Part 17:?

I'm curious.

M.vr.gr. Marco

Perhaps useful to include the Catawiki numbers. They also work as links in the catalog.

Like this one, 39240 from Comanche.

Hi Jills,

I don't mean that either. I mean that the Franka 16 is much more expensive, and that is why I think it is a much smaller edition than, for example, No. 17 or the first edition of No. 15. What I mean is that those books compared to the rest of the series are a lot are more expensive and I am curious about the cause.

Here are the numbers:

Franka http://www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/strips/series-helden/franka/22755-succes-verzekerd?area=8a13d09ab2a632650ad2f5f9847d3eecd5d1b482

Jeremiah 17 HC has never been released regularly! It was then a low point in the sales numbers of HC in the Dutch language.

Guess you're right about the first examples of a new publisher

Jeremiah volume 17 first came out in hardcover so was probably bought by softcover collectors as well. The same money now for the comic strip early thorgal the eye of Odin. First came out in HC and is now only for sale 2 times, so traders take your chance (lol)

Kris van Valnor hc: first part so you don't know yet whether it will be a success or not . So it was!

Thorgal HC part 29: has been sold 2 more times in the last two weeks, but is indeed becoming scarce.

The comanche editions were also lower. + not reprinted.

If all goes well, CataWiki has a system that converts all numbers into Catalog numbers, or so it had. So if you type in number 23523 , CataWiki automatically creates a link can. What is also possible is to move the mouse pointer over the link and then press the right mouse button on a PC and on the MAC I believe on ctrl and mouse click on apple + mouse click. Then choose the option copy link address from the menu that appears. Then go to the forum and write your message, select a text/number from your text and click on the paper clip at the top of your text. An extra input screen will appear and then press ctrl-v or cmd-v to paste the link. Click ok and voila!
