Awesome! You really gonna enjoy it! I hope the carrere album turns up for you soon!
I think it's gonna be very difficult to find the second album. Actually, the hunt is gonna be tougher than I thought.

My copy turned up this morning!
Very nice - a collection of about half of the Pif Gadget stories in a nice volume of there own, including: Le naufragé du cosmos, La tempête de feu, La forêt de cristal, Le monstre de boue and La flûte de magie.
Interestingly enough, in this collection La tempête de feu and La forêt de cristal appear swapped around, which actually makes some sense as it appears at the start of La tempête de feu that Mara is presenting Blackstar with Warlock.

Great news!!
Yeah, swapping around the stories is the proper order to do it.
But the "La flûte de magie" story is missing a page!! Did you see that? Why did they do that anyway?
In prime minister it said "tome 1". That's why I think there's another one. It must be.

Yes, I noticed that - some kind of oversight I guess lol
Hopefully there is a second collection out there, but it is possible that they never put a second one out... we will just have to keep our eyes open!
I was wondering about the story order back when I first did the translations, since Mara seems to be presenting Warlock to Blackstar... but that said, I like the Pif Gadget story order as well as I like to imagine missing stories in between Le naufragé du cosmos and La forêt de cristal that show John meeting Mara and getting Warlock, as there seems like there should be more to those stories than just Mara turning up and giving Warlock to John lol

Oh, I think cutting cost is more like it!!
Anyway, yeah, any change or not in the order of the stories is not a problem at all... I really liked the hardcover, it came as surprise to me (a good one), because I thought it was a paperback!!
I do hope there's a second album out there! If not, I'm thinking of making my own second album with the rest of the stories.

I thought it was going to be a paperback as well! I was kind of expecting something digest sized, so it was a nice surprise when it turned out to be a hard cover - the cover of mine is a little banged up but it's still nice.
Tht would be great to see if you made your own second volume - you should include the Blackstar Games story as well from issue 866 of Pif Gadget - it might have games all through it but it does also tell a (very slight) story of its own.

Absolutely!!! After all, it's part of the blackstar legacy!
I was thinking of even including the pif gadget covers sporting blackstar, and maybe the toy ads as well. I don't know, it kind of makes it more nostalgic...

I've seen that add before (in fact, I think I posted it for one of our other members here over at the Planet Sagar Yahoo group) but I think I got it confused with one of the other ads for a Blackstar poster and ended up thinking it was just a poster as well...
