UPDATED: The Blacksad books

Updated: 'They all fall down - part 2' has now been released.

For other Blacksad / Juanjo Guarnido there's also...

sketchbooks here

a calendar here

On my 'to collect' list is certainly the Blacksad volumes by artist Juanjo Guarnido (see my feature on his sketchbooks here). I was a bit confused by the various editions of the books so I thought I'd work it all out to help me (and you!) out...

I'm indebted to this wikipedia page for helping me out with all of this...

The first story - Somewhere within the shadows. I own this.

The second story - Arctic Nation. I own this.

The 3rd story (Red soul) does not appear to have had an English-language translation.

This volume, from Dark Horse, collects the first 3 stories. I own this.

The 4th Blacksad story, A silent hell

The 5th Blacksad story - Amarillo. I own this.

This volume (which is labelled as volume one actually collects the first two parts of the 6th story, They all fall down - in France these two parts appear to have come out as separate volumes).

The 3rd and 4th parts of the 6th story, They all fall down, have now been collected in this single volume...

There's also this volume - the sketch files - to look out for. Same format as the first two books highlighted above. Seems rare, out of print and pricy!

more Blacksad - a calendar

I've looked at Blacksad before...

...and now I've discovered there was a calendar produced for 2011 as well - would love one of these!

UPDATED: Juanjo Guarnido sketchbooks

I've recently read my first couple of Blacksad books (I'm really late to the party I know) and I loved them. That got me wondering what else Guarnido had produced...thought I'd start by seeing if he's ever produced any sketchbooks. Well a quick bit of googling has turned up these 5 sketchbooks - but if you know of any others I'd be delighted to hear about them.

UPDATE: This has recently been published (92 pages of colour and B&W art, softback, 9x13), you can buy it here (from a US seller, so watch out for those hefty postage costs)
