Quote from user: skritterJust ordered my box set. Come on October.

How long do you think they will have between box sets? Anyone know the release schedule they did with Charlie brown?
Hey Skritter -- the slipcase editions will be released every holiday season, containing the two frontlist titles from the preceding year.

Since I only ordered the first book, which is already out, I've already got it. I just got it today, and from what I've read so far, it's great. I don't have the English vocabulary to tell just how great. My hat is off to the people who have the patience to wait until October for the first book. You shouldn't! But well, everybody his own choice I guess.

Before I had the book, I hadn't read much Gottfredson yet and didn't really know how good he was. This book shows exactly how good he was. And it's only volume 1 of... how many exactly? I did some calculations, but I don't know if I'm right. I thought of this.
Gottfredson's career was from 1930 to 1975, 46 years. In the first book, two complete years have been published (1930-1931).
If that's so for every book, there should be 23 books coming out. (the Peanuts series have also been ordered by complete year, so that's probable)
Since two books appear every year, it would take 11.5 years. That means the last volume will be published in late 2022. That's 4 years before they end with Barks.
Can anyone confirm this?

I definitely hope they will also publish the gag-a-day stuff.
That´s the stuff which is so hard to find and which is good too.
They also published it in the italian edition "gli anni d´oro topolino".

I recall reading an interview from a while back where it was claimed that they'd probably do the Sunday comics after they finish the regular stories. I certainly wouldn't expect them to appear in the same volumes as the dailies.

Volume 1 actually arrived at my shop this week. So it appears Diamond was on a one-week delay in releasing it (it was solicited for 6/1 as noted above but release on 6/1 was "not confirmed").

HI all,
I received my copy from Amazon on Saturday. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Fantagraphics did a beautiful job. I'm even more excited about upcoming volumes now!

Quote from user: Robb_KI'm jealous. I will have to wait until October to get my boxed set.
I wish I had the patience to have waited until then. : /

I can't wait to get the box set in October. Perhaps I will buy the singe book now and use it as a gift later..
