Looks like they should be done the week of Thanksgiving! Because of our limited hours that week, and our manufacturers' limited hours, I suspect they won't be in our warehouse until the first week of December, though.

Thanks for the update Brian...

[Dan]

Thanks Brian Freeman and the rest of CD. I can't wait to go through these. I will be greatly lacking in the movie book, because I have not seen most of the movies. I have read probably 75% of the books, though.

You're welcome! (Nice shot of the covers, too!)

Brian / Dan - Any word on the status of the triple remarqued Lettered Edition of the 25th Anniversary IT (ie- has Glenn Orbik's bruised thumb recovered sufficiently for him to complete his remarque)?

Last time I heard anything was back on September 28th where it was indicated that you guys would have the books back in your hands by the end of October

Glen emailed us yesterday to say he had finished the books and would be shipping them back via the pre-paid UPS labels we provided, so Dan should be able to track the packages when we return to the office on Monday!

We’re pleased to announce Cemetery Dance #68 is already shipping from the printer and will be arriving in mailboxes around the world early next month!

This issue celebrates one of our favorite artists and all around great guy, Glenn Chadbourne. We’ve honored to work with Glenn for many years now and even more honored to call him a good friend. This special issue features cover to cover story illustrations by Glenn, as well as an in-depth interview and a new short story by Glenn and Holly Newstein.

Of special note to Stephen King fans, this issue also includes “The Glass Floor,” which was published in Startling Mystery Stories in 1967 and was King’s first professional sale. It has never appeared in any of his collections:

Great stuff, I love Glenn's work & he's a real nice guy too!

[Merlin1958]

Very, very cool, guys!!!!

[Roseannebarr]

do you know when black house/talisman is shipping? Thanks!

From looking at the slipcase schedule, probably February. I should have some cool news to share about that set soon, too!

Sometimes I just don't get it. I mean don't get me wrong I think CD is a great publisher, does excellent work and I am happy to see them succeed, but there are still Talisman/Black House sets available from DMG. Guess it's my own personal sense of what constitutes a "collectible" item.

Regardless of my opinion, I am quite certain that CD will and has done a simply marvelous job on this publication!!! Brian Freeman is "Da Man"!!!!

[Jimimck]

CD are just onselling these with the poster/slipcase. I think they are publised by Scribner?

The CD version (scribner) is different and some people want it. Kind of like more than one person did cases for 'Salem's Lot

Ha, no worries! Yep, we're adding a slipcase and the poster to the books they're already printing. Of course, when we announced the deal, they had listed the retail price of the books as $35 each, but they raised it to $40 per book before publication, which caught us by surprise! We're still honoring our $99 price for the set, though, while our allotted copies remain available. We placed our order with Scribner last month, so we'll have a few more sets to sell between now and when the cases are done. (The sets are shipping when they are complete, just to prevent any confusion from my post. So we have the books on the way, the poster is being printed in January, and the slipcases are in production and should be done in February.)

Brian

P.S. Here is the Tomislav Tikulin artwork for the poster in case you're curious:

I do like that poster art.

Did Glenn illustrate The Glass Floor?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

OK, I'm an idiot!!!

That translates to "eejit", in the UK.

This site is soooooo educational.

[Brian James Freeman]

Did Glenn illustrate The Glass Floor?

Yes, he illustrated all of the stories and columns in the issue. I'm trying to get a copy of the scanned artwork for The Glass Floor to post here if I can.
