@opauloart.bsky.social So excited this finally arrived & grateful this series is back in print. I missed these when the HC came out, but managed to read them through ILL a few years back, but now have all 3 volumes thanks to IDW Publishing! Every Toth or animation fan should have this!

It’s all good.
