Thanks Sentinel and Patrick!
Any Ed Brubaker fans? I was just reading Criminal and the story arc The Sinners Part 1 has a crooked cop that hangs out in strip clubs and whorehouses and basically is in the strip for about 5 pages before he gets killed - the funny thing is the cop is named Hill, Joe Hill. And the first picture of him bears a striking resemblance to Joe too - wearing his glasses. Anyway - was interested if anyone had any thoughts on this. I get Ed's newsletters and he invites questions - and answers them eventually. So I posed this question to him - and if I get any response I will add it here as well.
From Gauntlet Press' newsletter today...
NOTHING O'CLOCK by Neil Gaiman
BREAKING NEWS! We have exciting news on our collaboration with Borderlands Press for Neil Gaiman’s NOTHING O’CLOCK, a Dr. Who novella. Joe Hill, apparently a big fan of Dr. Who, and Brian Keene will be signing the lettered edition and providing an introduction/afterword. We have increased the price for the lettered edition and expect it to sell out. As always, those customers who pre-ordered the lettered edition will NOT have to pay a penny more. There is no need for those who pre-ordered to contact us (unless you’d like a second copy at the new price), as you are already guaranteed the copy you pre-ordered. We will also have a 125-copy Deluxe Numbered Edition of the book signed by Gaiman and Joe Hill. This is a new edition we did not have listed on our website. It’s there now for you to order. We expect this edition to sell out quickly, as well.

He signs so much I just have no clue what to collect
LOL That is one of the reasons I don't collect any of his work... that and I have no more space. lolQuote:

I've only met him once and had The Fireman signed at that time. He'll be at Boston Comic Con in August and I'd like to get a Creepshow print signed. I have all the S/L's out there plus a bunch of other signed stuff from Water Street. I don't need a book signed. But I also don't want to piss him off. Lol
P.S. Ditto Brian :)
:thumbsup: I thought maybe it was up thread that he wouldn't sign Creepshow the book. I haven't met the guy but he seems like he'd politely decline if he didn't care for it.Quote:

Thoughts? I'm not even sure if there was more than one printing.
That's the first printing.

Not disputing that at all as I have no knowledge r.e. this publisher and the manner in which they indicate printings, but I am curious why a publisher would indicate 2018 and 2019 when they've yet to occur...I've never seen that before, copyrighting/indicating a year that's yet to happen.Quote:

I have seen this: 75 76 77 78 79 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2...this number line below identifies a second printing printed in 1975. But obviously yours isn't a 4th printing from 2019, so...?
Publishers sure keep things interesting for us collectors, don't they? ;-)
Numberlines, or Printer's keys, came into being as a way to standardize identification of the number of printings.Quote:

Publishers can use a numberline or not, and they can do so however they like, so there really is no standard, but it was worse before.
Most use the numbers 1-10 in some arrangement. Some include dates.
They could, of course, just print the number "1" or "9" to represent the first or ninth printing. The reason they do it this way is that the page setup for the printer only requires the removal of one number. That is the easiest and cheapest way to do it by far.
And that number line is pretty much SOP from what I've seen from IDW.Quote:

Yeah, I don't think he would be rude. Especially after people asking him to sign the book and one of his Mom's books? :confused: At least he was actually IN the movie!Quote:

Would be kinda cool to have a JHK signature; hope you have better luck.
