please tell me there will be a volumn 2 for the Star Trek Newspaper strips? I hoped for years that one day they would be collected.
========
Like with all those kinds of books, it depends on the availability of the strips. We'd like to do a second volume and have some leads on some of the material, but are still on the hunt for enough to make it happen.
And Robert, thanks for the nice comments about Locke & Key, too. I'm glad that one's worked out as well as it has -- I love Gabriel, and have been a fan of Joe's writing since the short-story days, before he was "outed" as being King progeny. Hate to see that one end this year but it'll be gratifying to have done the entire 40-or-so-issue series with the same creative team, even the colorist. That sort of thing doesn't happen too often any more.

I love the IDW collected comic strips. "Family Circus" and "Blondie" were both quite funny and edgy (no Ida Know or Not Me or Grandpa watching from heaven) when they both premiered and the collections are priceless. I love having them, and was shocked that Dagwood's hunger strike captivated the nation. I think the last great newspaper comic strip era was when we had "Bloom County," "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Doonesbury" all running concurrently. We used to talk about them that morning.

My favorite strip reprint series is Li'l Abner, though IDW has done a great job with Bloom County, Terry and the Pirates, and just about every other strip collection I've seen from them. Well done and thanks, Chris!
Now get back to trying to work something out with Axel Alonso that will allow you to reprint ROM! ;)

…Byrne/Austin X-Men…•• Since Terry won't release his pages, making it impossible to build complete stories, I was again talking with Scott Dunbier (who handles these books) about the possibility of doing some kind of "chronology" of my time on X-MEN. A collection of pages that would span the entire run, rather than a sequence of full stories. As this would reflect my "evolution" on the title, it's something I think I'd actually prefer to see.

John you know what would look just fantastic beyond belief as an Artist's Edition? Hidden Years. Those dreamy Palmer inks over your pencils are just dying for the black and white treatment. I was looking at some of the B&W art at DOA and man that stuff is gorgeous.

Before we get away from the "Evolution" idea and start listing all the art that should (as in all) be given the Artist edition treatment, I love that idea JB! Is there enough pages out there (and accessible to copy) to build a good size book?

The John Byrne Fantastic Four Artist Edition will be my first! And I'm hoping for a second printing of the Walter Simonson Thor Artist Edition! I missed that one by a week! I'm glad to see that there's an effort, or idea for a Michael Golden Micronauts Artist Edition! Assuming IDW has secured the rights for those issues, I would also live to see those first 12 issues along with all the covers Golden did for the series collected in one volume! Hardcover or soft!

William this is a fantastic idea isn't it? I am liking that sort of Artist's Edition a lot.

I would gladly help with my page of Uncanny X-Men (with funny lines by Terry Austin).
I also have a full episode of Hidden Years, for future consideration on an Artist Edition.

Do the Hidden Years pages have lettering pasted on, or was that being done on the computer at that point?
In general, I think you all have some great ideas for books, many of which (most/all) we share -- some are complicated by various factors, not least of which is the scattered nature of many of those old issues' pages.
I'm now wary to comment too directly since I made a comment here a few weeks ago that got picked up by a gossip site and turned into a (non-)story that caused me some minor headaches. So if I don't reply to specifics about a project here now, that's why.
However, I'd say that a) if you have any full issues of any JB stories, or covers with all the logos and such pasted on, please feel free to drop me a line at ryall @ idwpublishing.com and let me know in case we can make that work in a future book.
As for Michael Golden, I will say that we've at least done an Artist's Edition portfolio of his full 22-page G.I. Joe Yearbook story (reproducing the pages both with the word balloons and without) -- we've got a copy here at WonderCon and it's coming soon. I'd be all for seeing more Golden books if various factors can be worked out. Micronauts was great, but oh man, those Marvel Fanfare pages were tasty, too. Any of that would be great to pour over at original-art size.
And yes, my white whale--well, I have a handful of those--remains a JB/Terry Uncanny book...

*********
All the pages I've seen have the lettering on them.
