Not to rub it in, but mine arrived today and was in English.  Good luck to all you with the French edition (unless that's what you wanted in the first place, that is).

p.s. the other thread mentioned above (which I hadn't seen until I looked for it).

Just received mine - all in English and all reprint.  By which I mean even the creator credits are reprint from some other previous editions - which means it speaks of the creators in the present tense from some pint about fifteen years ago.  Clint Langley is at the start of experimenting with photo art, but more importantly John Hicklenton is also in the present tense.  Everything else being reprint is one thing, but they should have updated the bios.  The only other thing that jumped out was the cover of the Winter Special wasn't the highest quality reproduction, but everything else looks pretty good.  Oh, and because it's easy to spot things which aren't quite right than it is to enumerate all the good bits - why was the cover in blue on black when the previous two editions were in metallic covers?  Silver, gold and bronze would have worked better.  Anyway, a nice completed addition to my bookshelf now.

here is a nice spoiler free grail page for Conrad

Loved the panto reveal of your grail page, Eamonn "It's behind you!"

The Warrior Women of Weymouth kick ass, as do the white fire breathing tigers from the Carnival of Demons although the Conquest of Barbarians appears to be a conquest over some foxes.

Weymouth?  Always makes me laugh when US authors use real-world British locations in their fiction - Daventry is another one, appearing in the Kings Quest series of games.  I don't know if the creators were thinking they sounded romantic or old-worldy, but to us who live here they're either boring, tacky, dumps or otherwise don't have quite the connotations that ancient fantasy towns should have!

Between this and Citadel there's been some superb artwork that's not the sort of thing you'd normally see in a child's book - not gory, but so imaginative and grotesque and just downright odd - fantastic stuff.

Jackson and Livingstone fought to make sure they got to pick the artwork - resulting in it being in line with the Games Workshop / White Dwarf / Citadel style.  Compare and contrast with any other children's books of the era, or even TSR / Dungeons and Dragons / Dragon magazine of the time.

...and here's that Dave McKean Dredd cover

Originally the contents page of one of the sci-fi or mega-specials, I believe.

I'm not looking forward to Starship Traveller either, but it's been sitting on various shelves for the last thirty years*, so about time I did something with it more than just having it there for completeness' sake.

* I'd have tried to play it a few times when a kid, but haven't revisited it since.

It won't be as good as Dark Jimbo's, but we're on our second trip through the forest (well, we got killed by the demon but played on regardless, not that we had both bits of the hammer).
Next one in the pile is Starship wozzit.

My favourite doesn't appear to have made it on to the longlist, so I'm going to vote for it anyway.

1) Finder and Keeper
2) Mayflies
3) Finder and Keeper again.

3. Stainless Steel Rat - Deluxe Edition - I bought this for the Ezquerra art was pleasantly surprised by the fun story too. Especially enjoyed 'Saves the World'', it really picks up then.

Interesting, as that's my least favourite of the three diGriz adaptations!

[Silo]

Silo - I had seen Die Hard so knew how unoriginal it was, but D'Antiquis' art rescues it.

Then you get to the story. Now its fair to say this one plays with things that exactly hit my wheel house. Never in Tharg's world has a western been so western. No not Strontium Dog, not even American Gothic. No this is the most western of strips. The tone, the dialogue, heck the art makes things feel dusty - all play towards this perfectly. The mysterious stranger coming into town, initially a lone gumhand all play with this. Even when it becomes all out war it becomes The Alamo. And I adore westerns.

Objection, m'lud!  Surely the defendant remembers Flesh and The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael (And The Dead Left In His Wake)?

Easy to forget that Snazz started off in a Robo-Tale!

[Ant Wars]

I can't agree with Colin that's it's GF-D's best...

Oh go on you can... you can... anybody...

Ant Wars, Rogue Trooper - pretty sure I know which way I'd vote in that face-off!

As for the current match, my vote is for Ant Wars (I liked Calhab Justice, but the Villa's casual racism being currently shaded by Anteater actually knowing what he was doing is as entertaining now as it would have been in the 1970s).
