Locke & Key Joe Hill - Gabriel Rodriguez Issue #2
Signed by Joe Hill
Donated by EXPLORER

Postscripts #10 - Signed by Stephen King and Joe Hill plus others
Donated by Mulleins
Description: Back in 1998, Peter Crowther—already having tried his hand at writing, editing and even a spot of agenting—had a good idea: "Hey, why don't I start a publishing company of my own?" he said to himself. So he did. Then, in 2003, Pete had another good idea: "Hey," he said again, "let's start a magazine for PS . . . and let's call it POSTSCRIPTS!" So he did.
And now, in 2007, when he'd found out he was to be Publisher Guest of Honour at World Horror Convention 2007, Pete had yet another brainwave: "Hey," came the now-familiar cry, "why don't we do a super-duper bumper kick-ass issue that's around 150,000 words long (instead of the usual 60,000 or so) and approach some of the best writers in the business for material . . . and then launch it at the convention?"
So he did . . .
The result is POSTSCRIPTS #10, a veritable treasure-trove of unnervingly fabulous fantastical fiction plus a special guest editorial from "Mr. Horror" himself, STEPHEN JONES.
