Vector Thirteen Collection.

Have the 'Vector Thirteen' stories ever been collected into a graphic novel?

[Radbacker]

Not that I know of.  There's some good stories in there that certainly deserve re-printing but alot of it was sub-par X-files type stuff thats probably best left alone.  
It'd make a nioce couple of Extremes though.

Nope, apparently none of the episodes have ever been reprinted.  I think they'd make a fine two-volume collection though.

I liked Vector 13, there were some genuinely creepy tales in there. Don't think they were hugely popular though which might make a collection a bad idea, extreme editions would be cool (mind you right now anything but mean arena would be a breath of fresh air).

There were some great V13 episodes. I always loved the one about the guy who got the train home and ended up in a parallel universe where his daughter was still alive. Then the twist was that the version of him from that universe was trying to get back, and we never found out which one went home.

Sign me up! I liked the spear of Destiny one and the one with the bookshop that bridged two realitys, one of which the Nazi ruled. The only and significant downer were the men in black and their ponderous framing speeches.

I agree with the EE suggestion. perfect!

I loved those Tales From Beyond Science. They were good.

This was when the whole comic turned into an X-Files fanzine, wasn't it?  Some of those were good, but it was a pretty poor hit/miss ratio, even beyond the dated framing device of the MIBs.

Has there been an EE of one-off tales yet?  If not, this one could maybe be the first, as I can't otherwise see the appeal of a reprint in trade format outside pushing it really hard as an X-Files homage around the time the new XF movie comes out.

Iâ??d be kind of curious to see some of the oneshots I missed in the dark years reprinted in EE. I get the impression they werenâ??t great years for one shots, but thereâ??s the odd one thatâ??s been mentioned enough times that itâ??s worth seeing (like the childs drawing cthulhu one, or the grennie one that prefigures the Kostabi figure in Cabbalistics).

On my recent re-read I did enjoy several V13s and I'd be keen to see an EE of the best.

There were a few decent Vector 13 tales (IMO) but on the whole I found them to be the worst of the shorts, be it Future Shocks, Terror Tales, Robo tales, time-twisters etc.

Why? The format of these meant they told a story instead of showing it. Most of these were told almost entirely through captions. Sure, there were some gems, but on the whole I think many of them would have been more effective had we got to know the characters properly.

There's quite a few of those short stories.
