So there is some confusion as to just how many of these there were. Originally they were announced as being 50, but there may have been less actually done. This is an attempt to see who here has them and maybe come up with a semi accurate number though of course there are likely people not here who have them. Even Jerad from CP isn't certain how many there are out there.

Yes, please! I'd love to see as many as possible.

I also have one. Maybe I should keep a list of who has them in the first post?

Are they also to be called remarques if they are on separate sheets of paper which are laid in to the book and not bound? I get so confused sometimes.

Brice
07-02-2013, 05:16 AM
I actually don't consider them remarques either. I'll change it.

As I envision it, the piece would have the same matting on each side. Not a single mat-double, but the same ouside mat color, with cut outs and each piece has the a different smaller mat (can't think of the term, will probably occur to me in my sleep). The frame would have to be double sided, or two same size frames mated to each other. Museum quality glass/plastic on each side. I wouldn't have it "twirl in the wind".

I have seen double-sided artwork in frames before. The back-to-back matting only has to be the same size, it does not have to be the same color scheme. That is decided by whichever art piece (side) being viewed. The ones I have seen were on tabletop swivel contraptions whereby the stand arm is attachd to the bottom of the frame in the middle and leads down to a sturdy base (like a lamp would).

Hey Bill, is your copy the standard slipcased edition or do you have the traycased edition with the additional book of art prints?

I'm very much trying to find a copy of the traycased edition, so if you have it, you have yourself a buyer! LOL! :excited:

George still has a very limited amount of these that he occasionally lists for $399. So with a remarque I'd say $500 is about right.

Once all of George's copies are sold then the price might well rise.

George sells/sold the Deluxe for $400 with the acrylic case. He said that his cost on the book was $400 and the acrylic slipcase was $95.

He also sold the regular slipcased edition with added prints for $100. I think he sold the slipcased with the acrylic slipcase for $100 too (no prints).

George recently said he still has a few, though not many, of the deluxe version. I have no idea if there are any slipcased editions remaining.

If you want one T-Dogz you should email him.

Out of curiosity how much does an original Whelan art/remarque go for? Doesn't need to be SK related (though that would be cool). Not specifically the Knowing Darkness copies either, just in general. None on Ebay at the moment to compare.

They go for a lot. Original b/w art by Whelan goes for a lot even.... Color??? Be prepared to pay. He doesn't take commissions anymore and there is not a lot of his stuff out there... no where near enough to meet demand. I will always be a huge fan and hope to add more of his work over time. My next conquest will be another larger oil on canvas. He is a master at his craft and brings things to life like no other artist in my opinion.

A penciled drawing or illustration probably goes from anywhere around $600-$1500. His oils probably from $1900+ Now this is if they are King, Sanderson or other popular fantasy artist related those are usually the prices. I've seen some of his older stuff go on Ebay or Heritage for much less. I've seen some color work go for $300-$400 ish.

Some "remarques" are absolutely beaufitul and it feels like a "waste" to just leave it closed in a book.
What do you do guys? Do you leave the book opened on display? Do you leave it closed in a book (and somehow protected with something) and display a scan/printed version...?

Agreed. Depending on the appeal of the piece, as well as size. Oils though go for much more than $1900... For a decent size I would say. I will tell you... They are very hard to find. In ALWAYS looking as is many other collectors. I only collect his DT stuff but have found some fantasy stuff for sale as well but passed.

Agreed. Depending on the appeal of the piece, as well as size. Oils though go for much more than $1900... For a decent size I would say. I will tell you... They are very hard to find. In ALWAYS looking as is many other collectors. I only collect his DT stuff but have found some fantasy stuff for sale as well but passed.


Oils don't go for much more than $1900 across the board. You actually picked up an Oil for $900. He also recently sold oils from his website for $1800 and $1900 respectively.

Out of curiosity how much does an original Whelan art/remarque go for? Doesn't need to be SK related (though that would be cool). Not specifically the Knowing Darkness copies either, just in general. None on Ebay at the moment to compare.

A penciled drawing or illustration probably goes from anywhere around $600-$1500. His oils probably from $1900+ Now this is if they are King, Sanderson or other popular fantasy artist related those are usually the prices.

That oil is also 6x8 actual... Maybe a lite bigger. He had a piece there larger that went for $4000. It was from Sisters. I am not sure what piece's your referring too. I had a long chat with David at Bett's and we both agree that oils will go for much more. There is not as many of them as well.

Yeah it was a steal for sure RF. It was a concept cover for DT7. The image is almost 7 and the length is just over 9 if I remember correctly and a nice 3" wide frame. I would love a larger one but man they are a lot. The one David bought of Cort was 8x8 inches and he paid $2200!!!

He also recently sold a 9x12 oil for $1900 and a 15x6 for $1800. So there are oils to be found at that price. I was trying to let the original inquirer know what an entry level oil would run. I'm not arguing that larger oils would go for more but there are pieces to be found at that price range that I quoted. I also don't think his larger piece from Sisters sold for 4k. It was up there for a long time and then they took it down. It wasn't marked as sold.

No worries Aron! I was not arguing... I was unaware of the DT pieces that went for that price. I was comparing mine and Cort... Sisters does not show as sold.. your right. I wonder why they took it down. I would have bought if I had the cash. I really liked it. What shocks me, is the prices the b/w went for!!! They have one left and I think it is $1500!!! That is nuts but... it probably will go eventually.

True.. I did it for free though. No money changed hands. But the question then becomes... who owns the remarque? If an artist does a remarque in the book does he still own it or you?

The artist would still own the rights to the drawing. You would only own that single physical copy. Now this can be discussed and an artist may sell the rights to the image as well for an extra fee but the majority of artists, I believe, would retain the rights to the image. So you couldn't just publish that image in anything for sale without compensating the artist for the art.

The more I look at the image, the less it looks like Trashcan Man, and the more it looks like a zombie. It looks like the thing in the image is wearing shorts, and that's not how I picture Trashcan Man.
Near the end of The Stand here is a description of Trashcan Man:

" Oh, how history repeats itself: Trashcan Man was once again being broiled alive in the devils frying pan-but this time there was no hope of Cibola's cooling fountains to sustain him.
It's what I deserve, no more than what I deserve.
His skin had burned, peeled, burned, peeled again, and finally it had not tanned but blackened. He was walking proof that a man finally takes on the look of what he is. Trash looked as if someone had doused him in #2 kerosene and struck a match to him. The blue of his eyes had faded in the constant desert glare, and looking into them was like looking into weird, extra-dimensional holes in space. He was dressed in a strange imitation of the dark man-an openthroated red-checked shirt, faded jeans, and desert boots that were already scratched and mashed and folded and sprung. But he had thrown away his red-flawed amulet...."

Priest
04-07-2015, 11:40 PM
I would support that Donald Elbert theory.

Even if there are some more word-accurate drawings out there i do not actually expect Whelan to be this here.

Why ? For the books he was not involved in that deeply I do not expect that he has that level of knowledge, and he maybe did not even care ;D
He sure has way more knowledge and "feeling" for the Tower and Flagg, as he was very deeply involved in this books.

Why i think that this is indeed Trash is the fact that Whelan, even if not 100% accurate, pointed out the main highlight injuries "broken arm" and "burned face".

Sure we can argue now if the image represents a broken arm, but for me thats no accident.
I refuse to believe that somebody like MW just doest "something scary" as a homage on SK characters. If you look at the whole set of drawings "just a pain zombie" doest match that grade of quality.


Edit : Reached 800+BP , think for somebody who needs the book, this is still an option - but its getting imho pricy (maybe still not as expensive as an average 5th Ave lunch, but pricy... ;D)

I bought it - wasn't the best steal in my life lol, but i really wanted it!
I thought that i was pretty clear about that as i told it to Flagg, but seams that there was a pricy misunderstanding.


Regardless, thats yesterday's news - now i have to check how i get this over the pond ;D

I asked myself that too.. but it seems he like he has a sun (or moon) in the background (look at RF's recent one) and I wonder if maybe that is the setting sun... and his Whelan see's a red tinge in the clothes he wears??? Great question though Bob.

Maybe the black looks red because of the Demon Moon, the red faced moon that rises during the season of Reap...

I find it interesting that the domestic shipping would be the same for this as for Umney's Last Case. It is a base price with a per item price. It isn't based on weight.

I have no idea how the international works. Do you have to arrange it?

I would message them and send them the link to George Beahm's packaging tips. (Well padded and double boxed) Tell them you'll pay for the extra packaging. It will be worth it.

In case anyone is interested I just talked to George Beahm and he still says that he might still have a two Acrylic cases for the traycased addition laying around. I am ordering one but he said "Yes, I have a [acrylic] traycase left (maybe two). So you're in luck." so if you want one you may need to jump on it quick.
Also just a warning for anyone who might not know he also sent along his little disclaimer :P "The traycase NEEDS the acrylic because the ink can rub off on anything it's sitting on. My wall is proof of that! (The traycased edition was on a bookshelf, and its ink rubbed off on the wall itself. That's when I decided to get cases made.)"

I have been thinking about the larger edition... I wonder how much it really will go up in value if at all. I weighed the pros and cons.. .and there are more cons for sure. The size being a big one, or the fact that King has nothing to do with it. Be interesting to see what happens over time with this edition. I have the lesser signed by George with the prints... but did not bother with the larger one. Time will tell I guess!

"King has nothing to do with it"?

IMO....King has everything to do with the volume. He wrote the stories that took all the participating artist down the dark road of their imagination while they created the artwork. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the comment. Did the artist draw the pictures first, submit to King and he write the stories?

Hey Ralph... yep my man... you took it the wrong way. I meant that he did not sign, nor have any input into the production of the book. OF course it is ALL about his work in every way. I wondered if that fact would impact its worth over time.

Ok, maybe this needs its own thread, but thought I would ask here.

I got the book on Monday from George (his last ebay sale). I looked a little through the main book, but after looking at the first 10 or 20 pages (and last 10 or 20 pages), I was afraid I would damage the spine of the book, if I read too far into it, since it is so big and heavy. I could hear the book creak as I opened it briefly to the middle. Has anyone read the book in its entirety without damaging the book? Any advice on how to do so? Be a shame to damage the book while reading it, and would be a shame not to read it out of fear of damaging it. I would settle for reading a PDF version.

I bought a 2nd copy of the slipcased version so I wouldn't worry so much about hurting the massive one.

I find that I'm nervous about damaging my reading copy too now. sigh....

I still have the double box packaging George used, plus all the foam peanuts (enough to feed an army of elephants). Too bad the shipping cost of sending it would probably make it unworthwhile. I have a huge backlog on my box recycling (due to combination of all the books I've ordered over last 6 months, home improvements, and major spring cleaning project). Only going to get worse when my 2 Billy bookcases arrive in a couple of weeks.

I looked a little through the main book, but after looking at the first 10 or 20 pages (and last 10 or 20 pages), I was afraid I would damage the spine of the book, if I read too far into it, since it is so big and heavy. I could hear the book creak as I opened it briefly to the middle. Has anyone read the book in its entirety without damaging the book? Any advice on how to do so? Be a shame to damage the book while reading it, and would be a shame not to read it out of fear of damaging it. I would settle for reading a PDF version.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for that link, I will look into that, when I get around to reading that book. Unfortunately the site didn't give prices, and it would have to ship across the pond, so I will see at a later date if it is worth it. This looks nice for other books as well, as I wouldn't need to worry as much about oil from my hands damaging the books.

Thanks,
Mike

I think if you look around you will find a book wedge which would help. I've never used one but here is link to product I found quickly:

Kinda pricey is right!! That's about 10-20x what I thought they would cost. I'll check some craft or book stores when I have time. Otherwise I'll just read more carefully :unsure:

Has anyone read the book in its entirety without damaging the book? Any advice on how to do so? Be a shame to damage the book while reading it, and would be a shame not to read it out of fear of damaging it.

I laid it out on a bed and slowly turned the pages and made sure not to open it too wide.

One of the things that stunned me the most was the level of detail in Berni Wrightson's 'The Stand' illustrations which you really don't get with the trade editions.

Correct. There were ~25 (number has never been truly clarified) original Michael Whelan art pieces tipped into the deluxe editions that was available for pre-order.

I read this last night and thought: "40 lbs?! Is that right? That can't be right". And I went I dug out my "smaller, big" edition, which I hadn't bothered to break out of it's original packaging and shipping box since I got it all those years ago, and, damn- that sucker just might actually weigh close to 40 lbs. That is incredible to me.

First- sincere thanks, Mike, for nudging me to sit for quite awhile and actually enjoy this magnificent production. It's really a crime that books like this sometimes (in my case) get stashed away and never enjoyed for the sheer craftsmanship involved. Had a lot of fun realizing just how great this book really is, and especially- the behemoth signed traycased edition.

But- the realization (remembrance? my brains seem to leak nowadays) that there was an even larger volume out there really piqued my interest. It looks like Bob posted pics of his copy long ago but I can't seem to find them now. Are there any pics of this uber rare ginormous leather edition somewhere?

Actually I'm getting close for wall space, but IMO art must be moved throughout the house every few years. Not every piece but I have ~10 plus original oil on canvas pieces, or very limited Chagall prints that are fairly large (3'x5' or larger). I rotate where I hang them on a semi-regular basis.

Nope. He has one. I sold it to AKC (tim) and then he to David. It is the Dark Man with his arms open and it was George Beahms. It was his fav and he kept it. Then sold it to me. I needed money and let it go. Its my favourite Knowing piece other than maybe East Tennessee's. It was framed too I remember.

Hmmm. "AKC/Tim" that's a blast from the past!!! I wonder what ever became of him? I purchased a lot of books from him in the past. He was sorts my "Go to guy" and was even on my, Christmas list. Anybody have any info on him? I hope he and his family are doing well. He was/is a great guy and an awesome seller. Never had a blip of an issue with anything he sold to me.
