Fantagraphics‘ Don Rosa Library - Reprint?

[entenhausen]

I was searching the forum for whether this questions had been asked before but I couldn't find any related thread. I do apologize, if there is.

I wanted to ask whether you believe it to be realistic that Fantagraphics reprints their Don Rosa library editions, as sadly, a lot of their volumes are sold out. I am German, so I could get the German version, but I'd prefer to read them in English. It just wouldn't make sense for me to buy the volumes that are still available, if there is no chance for me to acquire the entire collection.

I believe Fantagraphics is constantly reprinting the Don Rosa Library. Also, which ones can you not find? On Fantagraphics' website only 2 volumes are unavailable now (2 & 10) but I'm sure they can be found relatively easily somewhere if you don't want to wait for the reprints.

Thank you for your reply. I guess you are right, but in that case I'll probably wait for the reprints of volume 2 & 10. Some try to sell them for around 500$ apparently. Would have preferred to buy the gift box versions, but it seem these are definitely limited.

The DRL is an interesting series to collect. Most of the time, the first printing is the most valuable, but Rosa himself recommends you the latest available printing, because he keeps finding coloring errors to fix changing his mind on the correct coloring.
