Anyone want to trade graphic novels? updated Oct. 13

Would anyone be interested in swapping graphic novels 1:1? I have several DC, Marvel and Indie collections, and would like to exchange them for new funnybooks. If interested, I'll be happy to work through normal BM channels.

**updated 10.13.11**

--------------

Most have been kept sleeved, so they're in pretty nice shape, VF-ish.

I'm primarily looking for:

Justice League America/Europe (Keith Giffen issues)
X-Men (Grant Morrison series)
The Invisibles (all)
Preacher Vol 3 and up
Fables 11 & up
Jack Of Fables
Sam & Max Freelance Police
Doom Patrol
Zenith

writers: Grant Morrison (especially his X-Men run), Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Matt Howarth, Evan Dorkin, Alan Moore, plus oddities such Cerebus, Howard the Duck, and 80s stuff. I wouldn't mind dipping my toe into the recent revisionist DC stuff. If it's weird and/or hateful, I'll probably want to check it out.

Hello hello again! Hopefully this'll get more attention here rather than lost in the shuffle of the general board. ^_^

As I mentioned earlier, I can probably find some single-issue/one-shot titles by Ennis, Ellis, and Moore in my collection, along with that Tick trade. I've also got a bunch of Poison Elves trades that I've been thinking of swapping -- I haven't really felt the urge to reread them in a while, and Drew Hayes' untimely demise means the story's hanging unfinished. There are also some B&W indy collections I'd consider swapping -- Vigil One, Box Office Poison, Minimum Wage, stuff like that.

Other single issues I might consider swapping -- I've got a lot of the earlier issues of Courtney Crumrin, Gloom Cookie, Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge books (what, me worry goth?), Milk and Cheese, B.P.R.D., Sin City...lots of mid-to-late 90s indies, basically; I'd really like to shift more of my collection over to trades wherever possible, and rehoming the single issues would help me feel more justified in buying the same books all over again.

For Western comics, I'm mostly a Vertigo/Dark Horse/indy girl -- never really managed to click with the DC/Marvel supes for the most part, although I *would* cheerfully Mooch the reprints of the original Marston Wonder Woman stories for the sheer cracktastic lulz. Mostly I'd be interested in trades -- Hellboy, B.P.R.D., Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Lenore, Gloomcookie, Transmetropolitan, Fables, The Red Star, Martha Washington..., more recent volumes of Strangers In Paradise; I'd also be open to collections of newspaper comics like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Pogo, or Mutts, and some magazine cartoonists like Charles Addams, Glen Baxter, Bill Mauldin, or Ronald Searle -- serious non-fiction studies of cartoons, comics, and manga would also be quite welcome! And if anyone thinks you have something not on this list that I might like, I'm very open to recs.

Ms. S:

I'd be interested in the Tick book. I believe I have some Edward Gorey books sacked away-interested?

Oooh, yes, some classic Gorey would be absolute love -- I don't think I have any of his stuff on my shelves right now. (Bad goth, no biscuit clove!) If you can't turn them up, I forgot to mention earlier that I'd also go for some of the America's Best Comics stuff -- Tom Strong, Promethea, Top 10, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -- mostly looking to switch over to trades again, but I'd also go for single issues I'm missing from my runs Tom Strong and Promethea.

My Tick collection is Ben Edlund : The Tick Omnibus Vol. 1, the first big trade from New England Comics -- it's a little shelfworn around the edges and corners, but the binding is still good and tight.

Ms S., of the frozen stuff:
I have unearthed the Amphigorey paperback (first Perigee printing 1981). It has a mild cover corner crease and a few stray pen-marks on the cover from where the previous owner fiendishly used it as a writing board. It is also inscribed inside "I broke your lamp with my dejected spirit- Laura", which I may adapt to be my final epitaph (see http://wondermark.com/624/ for the joke). Interested?

Sounds like a good deal to me! Mind hanging on to that one a little longer, until I get a chance to dig through the longboxes and see if there's anything else you might be interested in?

(And bwah, I've got the Wondermark "bibliophibian" strip on my profile page here.)

Ms. S:
Sounds swell. Any mailing would need to wait until after the National Lazy Postie Day anyway.
I added "Bibliophibian" to my bio page the day that strip came out. The only reason to believe one has too many books is when it comes time to move.
