Very little difference between a shrink-wrapped copy and an opened copy. Maybe $50.

Thanks for the info, you've been a big help. I can go back to rooting through this lot ��

Thank you!

Not sure if it matters to you, Lori but I believe the comics weren't written by Hill/King but adapted from Throttle by Chris Ryall and Nelson Daniel. Of course I could be completely wrong and expect to be swiftly corrected. I haven't read Throttle and the comics might be a word for word adaption. :) There were 4 issues. Issues #1&2 credit Hill/King on the cover and issued #3&4 credit Matheson on the cover. I found 6 variants for Issue #1 and two variants for issues #3&4.

Ah! Thanks Brian! I didn't even notice the comics weren't written by them :lol1: I have the hardcover graphic novel and He is Legend so maybe I'll just stick with those. I was looking for(and found) one of the issues of Road Rage with the cover that King/Hill were on and ended up having to buy a lot of issue #2 to get it so perhaps I'll just stick with that and not try and find the rest.

Not to split hairs but the Centipede version you are referring to is the unsigned gift edition (600 total) and does not include the Jerry Uelsmann photographs except for one opposite the title page.

Thanks for the info. I thought it might be that based on RF's response. All info is gratefully received

Not about the book, but is this the case?

If so, it was made in August or September of 2013.

Yep, that's the case! I'm guessing there's a story here...:lol1:

So. I'm getting confused here! Unfortunately, that's happening more and more lately....

I made the case I pictured for Tommy in 2013. It's the only red Centipede Lot case I made. I've made several black ones, a few white ones, and a grey one or two but only one red. If Tommy still has his .......?

I suppose it's possible that I am seriously losing my mind but I think I'd remember making another. I'm furiously going through my pictures to see if there might be one I've forgotten about. (If I find one, I may just keep my mouth shut so I don't look quite so foolish.)

Andy - could you post a pic of your case? Where/when did you get it?

Hi, I'm not able to post pictures on here yet due to me being new and an untested entity, but the pictures you've posted earlier are exactly the same as the case I have. Same colour too. The help I've had on here is exceptional by the way, just wanted to mention that

I bought it from eBay, but I can't remember how long ago or the name of the seller. I've had it a good few months though, if that helps...

andyg75, you should be able to post pictures after having made 5 posts. If you need assistance, please let me know.

I've always had great luck with Lone Star Comics. Great packaging and fast shipping.

I'm guessing Dolso made a case for, or somehow it was acquired by Bad Penny. Later on it was part of the liquidation sale.

The metal title plaques are different ..... so both are "still one of a kind" ?

I have a similar case in black from dolso

So, now I feel 10 years older than I did a few days ago. I did find pics of your case Andy.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/...el_M_2_doc.JPG

It was made in January of '15. Even after finding the pic, finding who I made it for, reviewing the emails, I STILL don't remember making it!!!

Now trying to save some credibility,:confused::redface: I'd have to agree with Explorer as far as being 'one of a kind' but that's actually up to Tommy and Andy.:blush::unsure: They both have the same black liner, same color finish but different styles of metal label.

The important thing to me is that you both like them.....

^And if not, please send them both to me.

I'm happy to consider this a 'specially commissioned piece' for the purposes of making it even posher than it looks! Thanks for the history on it.

Now I know the heritage, it would be rude not to keep it ��

Great fun has been had here, but I feel a merge coming up.
