Brian and Paul I just opened my Mad Artist Edition today and wow! That thing is gorgeous. It is as big as the Wally Wood one. HUGE! Even my wife took a look and asked "Did Wally Wood draw for Mad?"
The Byrne FF one is going to sell like hotcakes is my guess.

From those long ago days some like your X-Men best but I like the FF. Why? You wrote it, inked it and it was more "yours" and your love of the FF really showed.

---------------------------------------
I have a feeling a Byrne/Austin X-Men Artist's Edition would be the highest seller in the line.
I noticed that the new Gil Kane Spider-Man volume has quite a few pages that aren't reproduced from the original artwork. I don't see why that couldn't be done for the absent X-Men artwork.

I wonder if people would be interested in collecting these books if they didn't contain whole stories. They are, after all, "Artist's Editions". In this case the story is of secondary consideration.

I would. It isn't the story that seals the deal for me but the art.
The Artist Editions are a real stroke of genius by Scott Dunbier.
My favorites so far have been the Wally Wood and the Mad ones.

Having complete stories is certainly not as important to me as viewing the art. I have three of the Artist's Editions so far (Romita and Kane Spider-Man vols. plus the Wood volume; JB's FF is pre-ordered) and I haven't tried to read the stories in any of them, I just admire the art.
If a JB X-Men volume is completely out of the question, I'd settle for a JB Marvel Team-Up one. :)

I agree - I haven't read an Artist's Edition, but I would think seeing the production of the pages would bring you out of the story. It would break the suspension of disbelief. You are buying the book for the art and a peek "behind the scenes", not the story.
I would think a selection from different periods would be more interesting.

I'm digging the full-story aspect of the Artist's Editions. It's incredible to be reading through The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill and Born Again in the form of original artwork. I've read those stories a dozen times over as single issues and in trade paperbacks, but seeing them as original art is like seeing them for the first time all over again.

I read the Artist Editions as well. Weirdly enough when I come to page that
wasn't scanned from the original that takes me out of the story. I start to
wonder where it's got to.
I've haven't read any of the stories included in the Wally Wood and Mad
editions and it was only the second time that I'd read the issues contained
within the Gil Kane volume.
It has sort of ruined normal comics for me as I now believe that most should
now be printed at this size...
Really looking forward to Fantastic Four. Hopefully there's enough available
material for more volumes.
