List: Most Book By Author

[martinskidmore]

I've not done a list for a while, so to celebrate getting my 90th Ed McBain book, here is a list of which authors I have most books by (out of a total pushing up towards 3000 - obviously neither that nor the counts below include comics/graphic novels)(I'd do a list that way as well, but it's hard to see a rational way of doing it - I guess on any reasonable measure, the top ten or twenty here would be infiltrated by Schulz (80 Peanuts paperbacks), Kirby, Koike & Kojima, Tezuka, Goscinny, Giles, Moore, Morrison, Millar, Bendis...):
