See https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/areas/18746-eci-doublealbums

Questions: 

a) is it true that this series only consists of 6 double albums / reverse printing ergo 12 stories ?
b) At 5 of the volumes it is stated:  For the book club ECI, published by Casterman, distributed by Panda and at volume 6 distributed by Mondria?

I assume that this was once introduced by experts, but I don't see it anywhere, not even in the colophon ECI , Panda and/or Mondria 

I hope someone knows, 

Harry J

Dear Rik, 

That is a nice summary. Is it true that there are no (co-)publishers on the albums themselves, ECO/V&D and Hema respectively? And in any case the ECO series are still missing 5 albums in the catalog?

I don't own these albums. So I don't know what the colophon says.

In album 6 (Sunflower / Black Gold) - the only thing I have - there is no information in the colophon about other publishers.

Note: the link originally linked to is a different set of albums than what rikMooren is referring to, because the book combinations differ.

Sucazel, thank you for taking the time to check out your album as well. Have now found out where that story about ECI comes from. The Matla catalog "ninth dimension" mentions Tintin omnibuses 1st series, which is indeed the series of 6 mentioned by me. ( 1978/80/81) With the explanation: Published by Casterman for the book club ECI and by Panda and Mondria in marketed. For the purist and detail : it says > not AND respectively. There is also a 2nd series ? : 1 album with 3 stories : America; Black Rocks and Case Sunflower; ECI distributed Mondria; and then there is a third series of 3 omnibuses with 3 stories, Methuen 1 Dutch 2 English.

In any case, it is true that the 1st series only has 6 albums.

At first I thought that the explanatory notes to the series were a lot of monkeys because of the lack of ECI, but I assume the accuracy of the comics catalogue.

Thanks for the responses.
