[Nerak]

bummer dude

Thanks for thinking of me!

What was the issue price of the slipcased and the signed copy?.

[oy-the-brave]

What was the issue price of the slipcased and the signed copy?.

Are you asking about Gunpowder? if so it was I think 54 pounds which converted to I think 99.00 US for the 1/200 signed by Joe Hill and Vincent Chong with slipcase.

If you meant Thumbprint I think there was just the chapbook included with "Tales of Dark Fantasy" and the lettered that sold out.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I'm out of touch with Joe Hill collectibles.

Congratulations, Kenny! Gotta love receiving something you forgot you ordered, it's like a little taste of Christmas or your birthday.

Go back one page in this thread and start reading.

Not sure if anyone has caught wind of this yet, but theres a discussion going on over at Horror Mall with some displeased people in regards to Subterranean Press' forthcoming S/L of Locke and Key.

Apparently they are now releasing a 1000 copy trade edition, after selling out the $250 S/L saying the limitation would not be increased.....

[bast_imret]

Won't be signed, won't have a DJ, and won't have the limited ed endpapers though. But I can still see why people are upset.

[Pasiuk57]

Just got my copy of the Joe Hill Gunpowder signed limited #28!
Looks great...

[Patrick]

(Congrats, Pasiuk!)


Can you refresh my memory on the L&K S/L? I'm out of the loop on that one.

EDIT: Found these announcements on the publisher's website.

Our hardcover edition will be limited to only 250 numbered and 26 lettered copies, with a whole bunch of extras, and will not be reprinted to fill further demand. Look for a more complete announcement soon, with ordering info. Further down the line, after the full tale is told, and we’ve done limiteds of each miniseries, we may also release a compilation of the complete graphic novel and scripts, along the line of the recent excellent Absolute Sandman volumes.

Here’s the exclusive Vincent Chong dust jacket for our special edition of Locke & Key, Joe Hill’s hit comic series. Our edition — sold out the day it was announced in our newsletter — includes not only the comic proper, but also the 250 pages worth of Joe’s script that artist Gabriel Rodriguez had to work from, as well as endsheets created especially by Gabriel for our edition.

As we announced quite a while ago, there will be an unsigned trade edition of his Locke & Key limited edition, done Absolute Sandman style. To save a ton on our printing bill, we’ll be printing the trade edition at the same time as the limited, but sitting on them until the fall. There will be some significant differences in the editions — the trade won’t be signed by Joe, of course, or have the dust jacket and endpapers exclusive to the limited edition. The first printing of the trade edition will be limited to only 1000 copies. We’ll likely announce it later this spring when the limited edition is shipping.

LOL - im a dumb ass - BOTH are signed. The slipcased one is # 54 and the jacketed hardcover (non-slipcase) is 273!

[Patrick]

Both signed? Even better!

[Nerak]

I'm jealous. I couldn't afford it Guess I will just get the trade and have Joe sign it for me.

Karen... I would think that would be even more valuable!

[Randall Flagg]

Received my JH Gunpowder yesterday. #294, as well as the trade.
Like Kenny, i had forgotten I even ordered one. Woo Hoo!

[Bev Vincent]

I received my trade hardcover last week. I'll be reviewing it for Dead Reckonings #5.

Yep, basically the Trade Edition wasn't going to be published until the Locke & Series was completed, and then they were going to release a set of them like the Absolute Sandman's (which each have 20 issues, btw). I guess Bill got itchy and decided to make some more money now, and issuing the first arc as a trade. That's going to be a lot more expensive if they do the books per arc rather than doing say 20 issues at a time.

For Joe Hill's completists?

The first issue of the next Locke & Key storyline will be out in early January, but you can read the opening 7 pages right now in the latest issue of Wizard magazine (that would be the January ‘09 issue, but nevermind the date, it’s already in stores). This is a particularly cool issue, since it has an Alan Moore interview, a preview of the upcoming League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and a long piece about Lost writers Brian Vaughan and Damon Lindelof. And, tho’ I blush to write it, in Wizard’s annual best-of issue (December), they were kind enough to vote me Best Horror Writer.

[Nerak]

Wonder where I can get that?????? mmmmmm

[Dolan]

Karen - I am so jealous you get to see him all the time!

I gave a friend of mine a copy of 20th century ghosts... and i saw her today (after the weekend) and she came and hugged me and she was like, "Thank you for giving me such a great book!"

[Patrick]

That's great, Kenny.

yeah, I'm jealous of Karen too.
