I bought over the years. From about the time I began buying comics regularly, in the early 1970s, I tended to read books once, then file them away, with few exceptions too busy buying and reading newer books to go back and re-read the earlier ones. But since I walked in on the Coley series, like most people, in progress with the 1st Eros mini-series... somehow managed to miss the 2nd Eros series and buy the 3rd... and then eventually got the 2nd, and then the 3 limited-edition books that preceded the 1st Eros mini... I naturally wanted to go back and re-read all the stories in the proper sequence.
It still baffles me that Fantagraphics' Eros Comix imprint NEVER got around to publishing the 1st 3 Coley books, so more of his fans could read them. Well, at the moment, I may be doing this purely for FUN... but I hope in my way, I'm making up for their short-sightendness.
"COLEY ON VOODOO ISLAND" can be looked on as his "origin" story. Especially the 2nd chapter.
ENJOY!
