    Really it was the date that didn't make sense to me with it being a 5th printing.

    I don't like the signature and there is no way that there was a fifth printing within a month.

    I agree. If I am remembering correctly he wasn't known as King's son yet so 5th printing so soon after release is unlikely.

    Joe may have just screwed up the date, and put '07 instead of '08...it takes me a while, too, to adjust to the new year when writing checks, etc.

    I'd say that's more likely than a forgery...the sig looks good to me, and, besides, given Hill's generous nature with his sigs, his signature isn't going to add much value to a trade HC, anyhow, let alone a 5th printing, so I can't imagine anyone bothering.

    Faked signatures of his were happening all over eBay a few years back. The seller here just listed first edition and I assumed first pressing because of the date on the signature. So I think perhaps someone might have just faked a signature on whatever hc printing they picked up. I contacted him to return it based on the 5th printing issue and then remembered why I had assumed it was a first printing.

    Is there any chance that the 07 is actually an 09 that blurred together with the sharpie? I told the seller that I am pretty sure it's not authentic but I also don't want to be deceitful with what I am telling him.

    2 things i have never seen on a signed Joe Hill the the hook of the J going through the top line, and all of his e"s in Joe either go through the back of the e or at least touch. never saw either of these things in a genuine Joe Hill siggy. I have about 200 or so siggy's so that would turn me off. Maybe he was buzzed but i doubt it. also good catch on the 5th printing. Highly unlikely. All of my 07' are 1st printings. I have only seen a coulpe 2nd printings from that time signed. Never a 3rd.

    Ralph,

    Sub Press already did a S/L of NOS4A2. This is a new edition with the Wraith graphic novel included.

    That being said, not sure if I want to own another copy just to get the graphic novel included.

    Joe Hill is a big fan of the double/triple/quadruple/etc. dip. And yes, this is absolutely ridiculous. There are at least six different editions of his comics too.

    Well this one does include the entire wraith graphic novel...although it's going to be a very large, zombie killing book at nearly 900 pages. Initially I though it was only a limited of the wraith comic - but the subpress listing seems to imply the original novel is included as well.

    I already have 2 signed copies of wraith (different covers of the book) and one of those is inscribed - so really on the fence about this one.

    And ordered... thanks. Never could get the original S/L and don't want to pay the full $350 for it, so this is a deal to me.

    Does anyone have any idea how an IDW book will hold up over time? Not sure how many large (page wise) books they've produced, since they're mainly in the comic/graphic novel business. Their artist/artifact edition books are very nice (I have 3) - but they are the same cost, no slipcase, and on,y maybe 200 pages. I think because of sheer size of this book - it'll be tough to even open it to fully enjoy the wraith story and art. The wraith HC books are nearly the same size (dimensions) as the subpress nos4a2

    Hence why I just waited for the HC compilation. How many different covers can you make for a 6 edition comic? Especially at a book signing - I remember it took Joe forever to sign all of the individual comics that Patrick brought

    Tempted but not sure if it warrants a double-dip at that price. Wonder how long it will take to sell out.
