    IMO he's a great writer. I checked him out because he was King's son but I wouldn't have kept reading his stuff if he wasn't good.

    It's funny that Joe Hill considers himself first a comic book writer.

    I picked up Horns not knowing who he was. I enjoyed it quiet a bit and was surprised to find out he was Kings son.

    I think he is an extremely entertaining writer. Nos4R2 was one of the best books I've read in a long long time.
    I tried HSB and thought it was excellent but Locke and Key is what made me forget that he was a King and just enjoy the stories.

    I haven't read everything he's written. I have liked everything I've read. He can be very disturbing when he wants.

    He is a very good writer and a likable guy.

    His books are undoubtedly more collectible because of his relationship to his father, if for no other reason than that more people are aware of him.

    I would be a fan regardless.

    Good question. No clue.
    Alpha and Omega should have never been split up and delayed so much. The extra covers are neat-o but the story suffered.

    Spoiler:
    I usually don't have a problem giving villains traumatic backstories but the whole bit with Manx's childhood wasn't included in the Wraith novella, and it still did a good job fleshing out his motivations and character. So yeah IMO that was unnecessary.

    Anyone buy one of those IDW Limited Locke and Key: Head Games sets? Looks like they still have them for sale and I was curious if anyone splurged.

    A Kindle version of Wolverton Station will be released on Jan 7th.

    I wish there were audio versions of his single stories like the ones he writes with Steve.

    I didn't. I'd be interested in seeing someone's photos though.

    I'm considering letting go of my collection of Joe's "early" works but have no idea where the prices are.
    Does anyone have any clue?
    I've collected him from the start, so I have all the editions of 20th Century and HSB (limited and lettered) along with the lettereds of Volluntary Comittal/Pop Art/Thumbprint.
    I really haven't been following them but also know they don't come up often, could be hard to judge.
    Thanks so much!

    On eBay at least the Sub press version of Heart-Shaped Box is being sold from anywhere from $125 to $700. Likewise with the limited for 20th Century Ghosts. So you could probably get good prices for your collection.

    Just received the special deluxe slipcase of the final issue of Locke & Key today - the one with the 7 different regular covers. Pretty nice size - still in shrink wrap right now - so no pictures to share. I will try and get them up shortly (been very busy lately). I have an extra set if anyone is interested - $50 plus shipping.

    Cool, I enjoyed the book. I didn't enjoy it $750, though. I will probably go in for a S/L. I'm not sure if even dad's signature would have justified $750, much less his brothers.

    The optional slipcase is what SP should have done with NOS4A2 from the getgo.

    He must have had the wrong price listed before. Now it says $300.
