Everyone said 2020 was horrific...but then we got to see Earl Grey live and in the flesh! Best year ever!!!!

I love Yoko Tsuno. I started buying them because of the same reason- the technical skill in the drawing of the setting/backgrounds.

This channel deserve so many more subscribers. You have introduced me to so many amazing books that I never would have found on my own.

Cheesecake is a great euphemism. Going to have to borrow this. 😊

Been watching for ages! nice to put a face to the voice.

Great video! During the past few weeks I have watched all your panellogys and they are invaluable resource for European and indy comics which are my main point of interest. Thank you very much for everything and I am eagerly awaiting the next detailed shelf tours :)

Earl Grey, the man the myth the legend, ...European scifi comics make me salivate , thank you sir for your awesome video!!!.

needless to say... a mind-blowing collection consisting of many gems, most of which already hinted at in your first video which is still treasured by me and never seems to get old. But hell, plenty of new material that I can hardly comment on but would love to see more of. Are you seriously indicating it was a spontaneous decision to step in front of the camera? Anyway, I am glad. 2020 seems to bring something good after all.

you have a face attached to those arms and hands...! You got down to the Schuiten books and I nearly lost my mind. Absolutely beautiful and it reminds me of how much I love his art. I need to revisit him again myself soon. Did you say that you have done a video about that art book? Must be one I missed, what a book! Good to know about Valerian, I felt the same when I read the first two volumes recently, was a little too cartoony and didn't really grab me like I thought it would. The coloured versions of Barbarella look incredible! The Humanoids version I have is all black and white. I watched an older video from Mind the Comics and that put me on to doing a search online for more Euro comics, stumbled on to Druuna there. Saw the art and it immediately made the list. The full figured woman might have had something to do with that. Lost in Time! Man, I loved the single English volume I found by Gillon and Forest. Really wish there was more. I only have two volumes of Don Lawrence's STORM and to be honest, I haven't really given them a fair chance. His art is incredible though...might be time to pull them off the shelf again and give it another go. Killer video. More!

Oh man......I am almost scared to watch this one! This needs to be watched on the big screen later tonight

Absolutely a platinum level of awesome in that collection. i could not help but drool a bit. i got myself back together after wiping away and jus sat saying "Yes...>next book< yes. ..>next book, talks, i agree... < Yes!......" Once again i feel sorry for our American friends who don't get to know, let alone SEE most of these books....at least as to say not enough of them do because, honestly, this gear is the best and outshines the rest by a long shot. Moebius is revered by nearly every sci fi / fantasy artist (writers, pencil/inkers, film directors and set designers and costume makers) worth their salt and he's only one of the great European creators. You, sir, have earned yourself a new sub. Hoping to find a look at some of the films made from some of these great artists. i'm still throwing the Blueberry film at people, even though it doesn't follow the books greatly, i see it as its own thing that Moebius did sign off on and is a blast ! If you haven't done that, maybe worth a video on them ?

Loved this!! I highly recommend Pat Mills Charlie's War, Nexus (expensive), Walt Simpsons Thor Omnibus, The Elementals (80s fare), Alan Moores Swamp Thing...Gosh...on and on.... Oh Johnny Red (My fav)

I've just purchased two books by a writer/artist called James Stokoe: Grunt: The Art & Unpublished Comics of James Stokoe and Aliens: Dead Orbit. Oh my WORD, his art is INCREDIBLE! I'm not even a huge fan of the Aliens franchise, but I just HAD to buy it when I saw a couple of videos about it. Anyway, I'm just going to leave this information here for you to read and inwardly digest.

Panellogy #356 1st appearance of Earl Grey. Bag and board this episode.

A very fine collection! You have a face and eyes and stuff!

Ooooh baby I can't wait for this! I'd kill to browse your books for an afternoon!

What an amazing collection of books. I love Druillet, Moebius and Jodorowsky but they have a lot of work that I haven't read yet. Very keen to continue exploring those creators. I've had my eye on the work of Don Lawrence for a while now, Trigan and Storm both look stunning. Definitely want to get into those as soon as I can afford a few purchases. I almost picked up Trigan a month back, but Storm might have jumped the queue. So many more here that I want to read like Druuna, Bilal's work, and Valerian. Wonderful tour! Thank you so much for sharing your passion and perspective along with all these beautiful comics. It's a real pleasure. Also so nice to finally have a face to put to the voice! 😊

Bellissima collezione

I also agree with you about Valerian. The big-foot cartooning in the beginning of the series is kind of silly, but as it progresses the art becomes very beautiful. I currently have volumes 2, 3, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, &18. I started buying them after I saw the film adaptation, which I thought was pretty good, but the male lead actor was an odd choice.

Yup this confirms that English in comic books is not an advantage 😂. So much great material there is to discover but I cannot read in that many languages. Great to see and thank you for sharing.

Very nice part of your collection. I was happy to see something from Yoko Tsuno: Since I read an album of her when I was about 9 that I hadn't seen anything of her. On another note, the Splitter-Verlag editions are simply gorgeous. I'll have to level up my German and get some of those editions.

I am also a big fan of Druillet, he is really on another level in psychedelic sci fi comics! He is also very unique, at least as I take it, his work is very heavily permeated by his life and feels so true, honest and straightforward . Each feels like a piece of art communicating way more than purely a story - as the pages of Night are full of griev and hope, Gail is soaked with pain, depression, kind of 'no way out feeling'... I was so eager to see Chaos, and I somewhat releaved that he, as Sloan challenged his Shaan... but maybe I am wrong, who knows :D Anyway I would be very much interested in your review of 'Chaos', and if you had similar impression.

We finally get to see batman unmasked aka earl grey face

Great video! All kinds of amazing things. Thanks for this! I collect vintage SF&F paperbacks, but not comic books. :)

Cameo by Christopher Lambert

Hi Earl Grey, I have minimized my buying from Marvel and DC since I started watching you years ago. I will mention couple of books which you probably know (Sci-fi) but I did not see in your collection. Some might be worth looking at! Meka (1 HC book) by Morvan , Warship Jolly Roger (2 HC) by Runberg, Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers (1 Trade) by Joe Casey, Sea of Stars (2 Trades) by J.Aaron , Shangri-La by Bablet, ( haven ‘t read the “ Chixin Liu graphic novels - so no comment), Sci-Spy Complete Series(1Trade- older series) by Moench, Eclipse (i believe you have it …4Trades) by Z.Kaplan, Symmetry (2Trades) by Matt Hawkins, Under (Titan books) by C.Bec, Downward to Earth (1HC I believe heard it from you) P. Thirault, Infinity 8 (8HC) by Killoffer, All the Skydoll books (100% sure I saw them in your videos) by Barbucci, Chrononauts (2Trades) by M.Millar, Orbital (8Trades) by Runberg, Wings of Lights (1Trade) by J.Verlanger and last but not least Dune the Graphic novel! I did not write the obvious books and the ones you own (Remender ,Vaughn, Millar, Ellis etc) Hope you find one or two interesting. I follow Humanoids and Titan closely. Thanks for guiding me and making me realize I love Scifi especiallyin Space!

What a beautiful collection you have there! I'm honestly surprised by the amount of series that have been translated to German, I might buy some German copies to brush up my German. Greetings from Belgium

Great video! It's weird that the comic at 38:43 was renamed Marc DeVille, normally it's called Die Vagabunden der Unendlichkeit/Le Vagabond des Limbes. There's like 15 volumes of it, and it looks very colorful and trippy, very 70's.

English, Swedish and Somali are the only languages I know. Seeing your collection makes me wanna take some French and German courses so I can add some of these books to my tbr list.

Greetings from Texas, Earl Grey. It was great to see you in the video. I finally got an affordable copy of Brussels, albeit in German, since the English version is presently for sale on Amazon for $80 +. I've given The Leaning Girl to 3 people and not one has read it. I thought I'd given it to readers who might find it interesting, but apparently I was wrong. I'm no longer buying anymore to give away, especially since now the English version is getting expensive again (As is Theory of a grain of Sand). You have a great library, as you've heard me say many times, but unfortunately many of the books you showed have not been translated into English or are unreasonably expensive. I've been doing as pleasure reading as I can, because after tomorrow, Tuesday and it's aftermath will be taking my time. Before I watched your video I'd finished reading Gideon Falls (I finally completed my collection in singles and was able to read it) in one sitting. On weekends I wake up early to read. I made the mistake, though, before watching your video, of reading the news and the one article that struck me was about Biden/Harris campaign bus heading from San Antonio to Austin that was surrounded by vehicles with Trump signs and managed to slow it down. It rattled the campaign, which cancelled the trip (the candidates were not on board). It was a mistake to do so, because it only emboldens them. One of the ironies is that Texas is has "stand your ground law" and one has right to carry a firearm. (I was at a friends wedding last night and one of the guests has a pistol tucked in the back of his pants). If roles were reversed, we know what the occupants of a Trump/Pence bus would've done. I don't remember seeing such devotion to a political leader, cult of personality doesn't even begin to explain it. There is something deeper going on here and it's not good. Watching you and your beautiful library was just what I needed to see and take me away from the reality we're in.

Oh god I'm just starting this video but I can already see it's going to cost me money.

Beautiful collection. I didn't see "The cycle of Cyan" from Bourgeon/Lacroix. It was one of my favorite sf series. Don't know if it is available in German, but really worth a read.

What a fantastic part of your collection! I am simultaneously depressed that I will never get my hands on so many of these and happy to be saving some money. But the way, I have been watching your videos for many years but this is the first time I've seen your face - is this the first time you've been on camera?

Wonderful collection, but you know that!

The metabaron second cycle came out collected 2 weeks ago from humanoids

The reason those Schwermetall books have such shitty binding is because they took actual copies of the original magazines and stuck them inside a hardcover. At least I'm assuming that's what I'm seeing here. That's how they did it with French prepublication mags back then as well.

Thank you for showing us your collection. I took notes of few I want to get. Do you shelf your comics by genre? I find this method appeal to the status of the mood better.

Hi, dear friend. Love you video’s you made about Lone Sloane and Druillet. I have a question. I live in Holland and we only have the 6 voyages of Lone Sloane, Dellirius and Gail. The only option I have the read and understand Chaos and Salammbo is to buy them from titan books. I saw your video about The Night from titan books and I was shocked to see how bad the colors where compared to the old versions. My question is, how are Chaos and Salammbo from titan books holding up against the originals? Are they better quality then the The Night? I can only buy them from titan books because they are in English, but I would like to know if they are as bad as The Night..😔 Im sad the quality from The Night is so bad 😔 Thank you 😊

Do you ever read any of Italy's Bonelli comics, like Martin Mystere, Dylan Dog, Nathan Never, etc.?

Jetzt kenne ich nach zwei Jahren auch das Gesicht zur Stimme :)

Do you have a list where you put all the comic/books you have ever read on goodreads or another site? How many do you think you have read?

Are you telling me that you don't have a red deapool/batman like face in real life?

Are you a fan of L' Association? If so, have you ever done a video spotlighting their publications?

can you do videos reviewing Siberian 56 and Prophet?

When I was kid, Heavy Metal-type stuff was deeply uninteresting to me. I found the whole "titties and monsters" aesthetic of the covers immature and simplistic, ironically enough. However, looking at european sci-fi here, it is startling just how much ass and titties there really is! I mean, even in supposedly "classy" comics like Obscure Cities: in the story with the young cartographer, his map is literally drawn on her ass. Not to be too puritan or anything, but it is really quite funny when you put it all together like this.

Jodorowsky? Gimenez? ... so, should I tell South America they're part of Europe now, or will you? Also, you stay away from Sarvan, that's a sword and sorc... and planet masterpiece. Also also, YOU HAVE A FACE! I always thought you were just two Adam's family disembodies hands with a German accent and a bunch of self emptying tea cups. EDIT. Also, also, also, is it me or do you not have Jodo's Megalex in your collection?
