So I've just started getting into Love and Rockets, and I'm wondering what the best way is to collect all of the stories. I have the recently-released Locas hardcover (which I know has some stories omitted) and had previously bought the Heartbreak Soup Library Edition on a whim.

I'm wondering if I should splurge on the First Fifty edition. I love hardcovers, and the idea of having everything from that period bound in a complete set is appealing to me...but I also know the library editions collect things in an easier-to-read format, and that some people say that's better for newcomers. Three Sisters and another library edition seem to be out of stock, but everything else seems relatively available. I think the cost of buying every library edition would maybe be equivalent to the cost of buying the box set--do the library editions go beyond the first fifty?

TL;DR Is the box set for Love & Rockets better from a collector's perspective or a reader's perspective?

Will There Ever Be A Movie?

I remember in the mid 90’s I heard whispers of an animated L&R. I wonder if Jaime and Gilbert have been approached since then with offers to do a movie and/or animated series based on their stories. I, for one, would be so excited if this were to ever become a thing

L&R Volume 4 #11 Rarity?

I’m (reluctantly) considering selling some of my L&R books on eBay and saw that issue 11 of Vol 4 was being marked as rare by some sellers and going for a higher price than other issues from the same volume.

I couldn’t find anything about a rarity of that issue online - can anyone clarify?
