I have that last one in digital format (thanks, Internet Archive!) - this past summer I was on a bit of a Leigh Brackett kick, reading as many of her short stories published in various SF mags from the early '40s through the early '50s.

junkmonkey I have Yuko Tsuno 1-7 and 11-13 in English. Wish there were more but seems they can only put one out per year for us Anglais. I have tried to read French and Dutch comics but I just don't get a tenth of it if that. Plus Canadian French is, er, a bit 'different'.

Re my previous post - I just noticed that Vulcan's Forge appears to be the first in the series as published in English whereas La Forge de Vulcan was originally the third book in the series. As the book immediately (page one) references a previous adventure, and then on page 15 our heroine meets an old friend, I would surmise some imaginative rewriting has taken place The cover is misleading too as the whole of this story takes place on (and for a great deal of time - under) the Earth. The cover here is a flipped reworking of the endpapers of the hardback editions. The Three Suns of Vina (Les 3 soleils de Vinea) was originally number six in the series. |

I didn't get those earlier English editions. I think they only ever published two from that publisher. The ones i have been getting are also out of sequence though, but here are the first two...  What should be Yoko Tsuno 1, 'Le Trio De L'etrange' appeared as 7 in English (but with an introduction text explaining it's age)...  and they did the Vulcan's Forge issue with a more appropriate cover  and Three Suns is a later number 11...  |

One of these days I'll have to sort through all my SF magazines. My book cases are a disaster area. Behind my computer's monitors here in the office is a second desk piled high with 1950/60/70 SF paperbacks and piles of magazines. Just out of reach - without moving a shedload of stuff to get at it - I can see a shoebox which I think is full of Robert Sheckley novels balanced on top of a stack of 'actual pulps'. There must be about 50 of them. I have no idea what they are they have been there so long. The top one is - I can just make out - a British edition of this issue of Amazing Stories.
I think this thread may have just given me the shove I needed to go see what else is in there.

Well that was interesting - I had to get one of my kids to climb down the back of another bookcase to get at them and pass them over to me but they now all are out. And there are 50 exactly. Mostly British editions of Astounding but others: Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonders, Amazing Stories, and the like. Some of which I remember but many I have no recollection of ever having seen before in my life. Including a few westerns - I have no interest in westerns at all and I have no idea where they came from.
Best of all is that underneath this pile of pulps was a 1st edition of Ian M Bank's first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas, in very good condition with dust wrapper. (Told you my bookshelves were a mess. I spent an hour the other day looking for one of the two copies of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles that I know I have - and failed to find either.)

Oh, yeah. I read Consider Phlebas a few years ago - I've slowly been working through his SF books, checking them out of the library. So far, though, I've only gotten up to State of the Art. Anyway, since this is a cover thread, I have to say that the covers to various editions of his books are often really cool. Here's the cover to the edition of Consider Phlebas I read:  Ditto for Player of Games:  And then Use of Weapons:  And finally State of the Art:  The only book of his I actually own is The Algebraist (bought cheap at a used book auction):  Haven't read that one yet, but that cover is my favorite of the lot. |

Published by Byron Preiss Visual Publications from 1992-'93, The Ray Bradbury Chronicles was a 7-volume series of hardcover collections featuring vintage and then-recent adaptations of the legendary author's variety of fantasy and sci-fi stories. Among the artists found in the series were Al Williamson, Harvey Kurtzman, Kent Williams, Jack Davis, Vicente Segrelles, Wally Wood, Richard Corben, and others--a wealth of treats for the eye by talents who knew how to capture Bradbury's unique imagination. Issues 1 - 4--  During the same year of release, Bantam published trade paperback versions of the series. |
