I was the publisher of Lights Out! which had a six-issue run, as indicated in the auction.
A little trivia: the sixth and final issue of Lights Out! included part of The Address, a novel McCammon started in 1990 but abandoned because it was too dark. When I decided that the sixth issue would be the last, I wanted to make it special for subscribers who had paid for more issues but weren't going to get them. Production costs had risen to the point that I couldn't offer refunds, so Rick gave me 50 manuscript pages of The Address, and that final issue was sent only to subscribers; no issues were available from the book dealers who'd carried the previous issues.
The point is that there were fewer than 250 copies printed, and who knows how many of those still exist?
Not to take away from the auction, but if you're interested, the first five issues are available as downloadable PDFs on the McCammon website:

Now what to do, should I get the lettered The Queen of Bedlam (SubPress) or shouldn't I? There are a few copies left, but $500.00 is an awful lot of money.
Plus, i don't have any of the other lettered editions in this ongoing series.
But I do really want it.....

Almost gone - best price on the net!

Working on it!
Just got my shipping notice of QOB from Subpress!
Got mine yesterday. The shipping notice, I mean.
Still debating if I'll get the lettered edition.

Very nice!!! Can't wait to get my hands on my copy!
Vincent Chong's interior art for The Queen of Bedlam can be found on the McCammon site.

I try setting my book collecting limit at under $100 per book and this one was over my limit. Do you think you could give me a general idea of where these pictures are in this edition? That way when I'm reading my copy I'll have a little bookmark that says "Check out McCammon's page from Aug 29 for illustration" And only if you have time to do that.
Thanks

McCammon fan Paul Halucha had this Dolso Case made for his lettered edition of Swan Song.

That is nice. The case has a great simplicity to it which I love.

It's been a good delivery day here. This includes, among many other stories, Robert McCammon's Halloween tale "Strange Candy."
Hunter
Excellent! I'm disappointed I passed on this.
Subterranean has teased the cover of The Border, coming in 2015. This isn't the final cover. Pre-orders will begin early in 2015.
Hunter
I like that cover a lot. Can't wait!
Interesting cover. I like it. I am also intrigued as Mr. Hunter stated (over on the McCammon website) that this book would be appealing to fans of Swan Song and Stinger...I Loved Swan Song so I will certainly be keeping an eye out for this book.
I loved Swan Song, but wasn't too impressed with Stinger.
Still, looking forwards to The Border.
