So close to complete, but I don't own 'THB Comics From Mars 01' (which was a SDCC exclusive) and I wasn't able to find a pre-existing scan. 

Other than that, I'm 99% sure this is every THB and THB related book released thus far (this upload does not include any of the small bits and bobs that have appeared in various non-THB publications over the years).

These books are presented (mostly) in the order of their printing. THB 1.v.2 is an "Amendment" (which, humorously enough, is spelled incorrectly in the book, right over a correct spelling of the same word) to the original THB 1. It was released a year or so later, so the date on that one appears out of order. Also, French Edition of Escapo was published in 1998, the year before the English version. The French Edition stories are presented in a different order, which struck me as an interesting anomaly, though I don't believe there are any significant differences beyond that one. I went ahead and included it for that reason and for the sake of obsessive completists everywhere.

As to whether or not you should read them in the order they're presented I would say, yeah, for the most part. There are some stories that are repeated from one book or edition to another, and there are some changes made along the way as well. Paul Pope does a really good job of explaining all this and his reasoning behind why he did what he did somewhere in the opening pages of most of the books. I can't recommend enough that you take the time to read all the "fine print".

Anyway, enough preamble, here's roughly 1300 pages of Paul Pope's THB.

Most everything is Written and Illustrated by Paul Pope. He does get some help with grey tones and lettering along the way, and there's at least one story contributed by someone else in there. I apologize for not knowing who they are and in which books their work is presented, but it's late (or early, depending on how you look at it) and I don't want to page through every book again to find them.

Everything is by published by Horse Press except the French Edition of Escapo (Vertige Graphic)and THB Comics From Mars 02 (Adhouse Books).
