They are nicely self-contained on a basic level. You can read any volume of Phoenix on its own, so I wouldn’t worry about not having Volume 1. They are nicely self-contained on a basic level.

MW is one I've considered in the French edition as it isn't available in English.

The rythm, the superb page composition, the narrative effects, the intelligence and philosophy that the plots involve, everything he did was done with an incredible mastery. I'm not sure if there in the States Adolf or Mw have been published (I'm writting from Spain, probably you realized my English is not very good), but if you have the opportunity, check them out.
