There’s a Squadron Supreme omnibus that collects a bunch of their early appearances as well their (first?) twelve issue series and some other stuff, that I think can still be found for around $40-50.

I want affordable Blueberry reprintings! YES!! There was supposed to be a new English edition coming out (I forget it if was part of the Moebius line from Dark Horse or something from a UK publisher that distributes to the US like Titan, and I think it even got solicited, but got cancelled because of low initial orders, so I have doubts about that one happening anytime soon. I would love to have those too, but I am not holding my breath at this point after that little fiasco. -M

I had a couple of the Epic Moebius books, including a couple of the Blueberrys, then the black & white one that Joe Lansdale's Mojo press put out. I have digital copies of the Epic books and some others; but, yeah, those would be sweet. I'd add some other European stuff:
Barbe Rouge (Red Beard), a pirate comic from Jean-Michel Charlier (Moebius' collaborator, on Blueberry) and Victor Hubinon. Tangey et Laverdure-by Charlier and Uderzo (of Asterix fame), about a pair of French fighter pilots Buck Danny-Cinebook has some of the later albums; but, I'd like the early stuff, set in WW2 Diabolik-there were about dozen English reprints, done in the fumetti digest size; but I'd like a big collection Cinco Por Infinito-the sci-fi strip from Esteban Maroto, in the 60s. It was translated and defaced by Neal Adams, at Continuity, as Zero Patrol. Cuto-Spanish boy reporter comic, ala Tintin, shut down by Franco when it got too political. Alan Ford-the Italian comedy/adventure series, from Max Bunker and Magnus I have a few pdf of Italian editions, but, I'm not aware that it was ever translated in English Ernie Pike-Hugo Pratt's Argentine comic, inspired by reporter Ernie Pyle, in WW2. Also Sgt Kirk. Asso di Picche-Pratt's superhero strip, about a masked crimefighter, similar to Batman and the Phantom. Have only seen a couple of covers and a single panel. Mortadelo y Filemon-aka Mort & Phil-a Spanish humor comic, about a pair of hapless secret agents, for the TIA (which is Spanish for aunt, but is an acronym for Tecnicos de Investigacion Aeroterraque
No translation needed; but, I'd like to see a complete collection of Mordillo's silent cartoons.

Oh yeah, I've been curious about this one! Another from JM Lofficier:
In 1950, "Bravo" published a wholly-new adventure starring Captain Marvel Jr, produced under license from Fawcett, and drawn by Albert Uderzo, an artist who later gained world-wide fame with his creation (with writer Rene Goscinny) of Asterix the Gaul for "Pilote" in 1959. (Captain Marvel Jr had previously been published in France by the Societe Parisienne d'Edition.)
The story was 26-pages long, and was published in "Bravo", 10th Year (Volume 10), Nos. 16 to 41 (1950). It pit Captain Marvel Jr against the evil Dr. Satanas.
This is actually available online, but it's not been translated into English.

It's a weird request, but a TPB of the mini comics from the DC Super Powers toyline line. Simplistic stories , but they were enjoyable and the art was just as good as what was in the comics proper at the time. They reprinted the He-Man mini comics, so it's not unheard of.
