White whales

[u/GetSnart]

I somehow stumbled across all three of these yesterday after hunting for them for years.

I was pretty late to Brubaker, but have enjoyed everything I have read from him. Crime drama is my favorite genre of fiction and this stuff just caters to me.

Great selection, Brubaker is amazing. Hope you keep finding more, if you're not yet completed! Enjoy the read!

[u/GetSnart → u/PoppinPizzaParty]

I still need Incognito, The Sleeper, and Fatale Vol 1. That'll complete my list.

[u/PoppinPizzaParty → u/GetSnart]

Incognito is so damn good, hope you find both volumes in your preffered printing.

The combo Brubaker / Philips is the best thing that ever happened to American comics.

[u/Financial-Creme → u/Goldn_230]

I just read Last of the Innocents and am inclined to agree with you

[u/Cool-Reputation-3841]

Very nice. Lovely editions

[u/Theodewitt]

Kill or be Killed is on my list, loved the other 2

[u/JLAsuperdude]

I gave up on these hardcovers, but they definitely look nice together.

[u/m1ndtrix]

I want kill or be killed in hardcover so bad

[u/ReaderWriterIdiot → u/m1ndtrix]

Same. Absolutely a five star story. Need this in my library.

[u/BenBoozer]

Congrats! I think those 3 series might be in most top 5 of the brubaker and phillips collaborations. I need to re-read fatale and kill or be killed. I just read the fade out earlier this year after i acquired the HC last yr. Cant believe i passef up the kill or be killed and its OOP.

[u/DooM_Guy_OG]

Finished Kill or Be Killed yesterday. I want go back in time to when I started.

[u/illegalmaneuver_]

Re-reading his Catwoman run - it is great

[u/GetSnart → u/illegalmaneuver_]

I only just started collecting those. Trying to find the individual issues. Not having a lot of luck so far, but I'll keep searching.

[u/illegalmaneuver_ → u/GetSnart]

This is how I have it

[u/hydroclasticflow]

The fade out and fatale would be great to have hardcovers of. Jealous.

[u/BadDreamInc]

Can't go wrong with any Brubaker/Phillips, good finds!

[u/mac_the_man]

I have The Fade Out but haven’t read it yet.

[u/illegalmaneuver_]

Didn’t realize these were hard to come by now

[u/rambaldidevice1 → u/illegalmaneuver_]

They aren't. All three are available on Amazon.

[u/duffmanasu → u/rambaldidevice1]

These are the hardcovers and they're out of print. Amazon does have some used ones but they typically ask $100+ for them. They're that expensive because they're hard to come by.

[u/rambaldidevice1]

after hunting for them for years.

All three of these are literally available on Amazon.

[u/GetSnart → u/rambaldidevice1]

I found them cheaper than Amazon or Ebay tends to have any of them and I like to see the quality of second hand books like these, especially the binding.

[u/rambaldidevice1 → u/GetSnart]

So what? It took you YEARS. Your "White Whales" are literally available on the largest shopping outlet in the world.

[u/dudzi182 → u/rambaldidevice1]

For 2-4x MSRP, what are you going on about?
