Are these editions usually available for pre-order through amazon?

Ordered it at my LCS. This will be my first as well. I'd loved to have
then all. It's just too high of a price tag. Having seen them, you get
your money's worth. I'll probably the only person in Baton Rouge with
a copy.
Has it e er occurred to anyone that they are the biggest fan of JB's
work in there area? My LCS noticed, all of the trades of JB's work are
lumped together just to entice ME!

When a creator has worked on many and diverse projects, it makes more sense to rack them alphabetically by title. This is true of any creator. Then, someone who might not specifically seek out that creator's work might pick up and enjoy some collection enough to seek out other work by the same creator. At the very least, if trades are clumped together by author, one or two copies of each should be sown among the alphabetized titles.

JB is often hard on his earlier work, but seeing this just makes me want to go back and read these issues!

...... this and the Gil Kane Spidey edition will be fun!

-- 'twas the reason I bought the book. This was during the period when I was a fan of John Byrne's art without knowing who the artist was -- I just knew I like the art in books Byrne and Perez had drawn, but never looked at book credits. I was a kid, afterall -- the content was more important than who created it.

So there's nothing out there of which I am actually ASHAMED. But there is a LOT that makes me cringe, when I see how far I still had to go. (And it makes me a little bit tired, too, when it reminds me of how far I STILL have to go. Being satisfied is a creative kiss of death.)

I've preordered this. I have learned my lesson after missing out on the Artist Edition of Walt Simonson's Thor and paying a lot more on eBay to get it. (Maybe I should have waited for the 2nd printing.)
I have IDW's Daredevil: Born Again Artist's Edition and it is stunning. I just received Titan's Alien: The Illustrated Story Artist's Edition and was blown away by Walt Simonson's alien warrior sketch on the signature page, which appears to be a penciled original. What a sweet bonus feature for the price! Another is the reproduction of Walt's annotated copy of Archie Goodwin's script. Archie was such a brilliant guy.
These kinds of books are going to ruin me for regular-sized color comics! (As Louise Simonson remarked to her husband, the Artist Editions are "like reading comics in IMAX.")
Also I must give letterer Jim Novak a shout. Great work on JB's FF run! Wish he could have lettered Alpha Flight, too. |
