I'd like to pick up a few of the Guido Crepax books that Fantagraphics is publishing. My Crepax knowledge is a bit limited and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to which volumes I should get first. Are there any that are especially essential? I guess I'm primarily interested in the Valentina stuff.

I'm on the very same page here! Very interested to see what others suggest reading.

Bumping for support! I can get some of these with a gnarly discount thru my shop and I wonder which one to start with. Vol 1 is unavailable but 2 isn’t… 🤔

If it helps any other of the un- or barely initiated, all of the volumes are gorgeous. I started with Vol. 2; I can't speak to the comparative quality of the stories, but even just the scale of it makes it seem like a special book. My initial feeling is also that because the books are topical rather than chronological, there's probably a range of quality in each. But again, I've just gotten started!
