| Bofferbrauer said: Holy shit that's a long list! Can't compete with that one even though I got all the Tintin, Astérix, Gaston Lagaffe, Léonard and many Lucky Luke and Natasha, plus some other albums like les femmes en blancs, les Stroumps (the smurfs), les tuniques bleues and some other ones I'm luckier than you however, as I can read them in french |
Oh, my list is small compared to those crazy, avid fans from the largest German comic forum who have between 10 and 20 thousand comics (often stored in dedicated rooms in their homes). But I have a feeling those people are collectors rather than readers. I read all my comics, I don't buy them for collection purposes.
Did you know that the group of dedicated German fans who follow and buy new European comics releases is as large as 10000 to 20000 people (out of a population of >80 million)? First editions of German publications of new Franco-Belgian comics are usually limited to 1000 or 2000 copies these days, only a few like a new Lanfeust or Spirou comic have first editions of around 10000 copies. There are only two giant exceptions: each new Astérix sells several million(!) copies in Germany alone (a phenomenon that already started in the 1970s - even Albert Uderzo can't really explain why Astérix became so incredibly popular in Germany), each new Lucky Luke somewhere between 50000 to 100000 copies afaik. Yeah, we never were a country for comics, but I'm glad that most of those many great FB comics are at least published in German.
