Volume 1
|
Compedium Editions There have been two so-called "bumper compedium editions" released for the first volume, each of which collects two issues of the first volume of the series in a single handy publication (though minus the accompanying serialized prose story "Allan and the Sundered Veil", the letter columns, and some of the cute little Victorian advertisements). |

|
Hardcover/Softcover Collection The hardcover collection is 192 pages long, containing all 6 issues of Volume 1 along with their covers, all 6 chapters of "Allan and the Sundered Veil" with accompanying illustrations, a foreword from the editor addressed to "children of vanquished and colonised nations the world o'er", and a number of extra illustrations and games, like the Dorian Gray Paint-By-Numbers. The softcover edition is more or less identical in content, though less expensive and looking slightly less handsome on your bookshelf. |

|
Absolute Edition The Absolute Edition contains two books enclosed together in a hard cardboard slipcase. Book I is more or less identical to the regular hardcover Vol. 1 collection, except printed in a much larger format (almost twice the size of the original comics). Book II contains Alan Moore's complete scripts for Vol. 1, along with sketches and an afterword by Kevin O'Neill. |

Volume 2
|
Bumper Compendium Editions There have been two so-called "bumper compedium editions" released for the second volume, each of which collects two issues of the first volume of the series in a single handy publication. However, it leaves out the fascinating "Traveller's Almanac" feature that appears in the regular issues. |
