How come the WASTELAND collections are missing some issues?
The “interlude” issues are a way to give Christopher Mitten a break (Christopher pencils, inks and tones every page of the regular issues). Each one features a guest artist, and tells a standalone story from elsewhere (and often elsewhen) in the world of WASTELAND. We therefore decided to collect these issues separately, in their own anthology-style trade paperbacks. If you’re reading WASTELAND in hardcovers, you’ll find the interlude stories at the back of those volumes, after the main story.
