Tim, between you and Bob... I lose so much drool at your artwork collection!!!

[Theli]

My first purchase from Bett's and my first full colour remarque. I must admit that Tomislav Tikulin is better at digital art than a more traditional style, nonetheless it is quite a nice piece plus the scarcity of his remarques adds a little extra coolness. A good start to my CD Doubleday remarque collection, working out a deal for a Palumbo and I got the Maitz on lock down.

No need to picture it, but thanks to a VERY generous member who just mailed me a Fine/NF 1st/1st of the Stand: Uncut to replace my reading copy that I actually read back in the day when we would do such things. It was so kind of him to mail it to me as a freebie, somewhat completing a circle of sorts since I bought and donated the copy that was used in a HF auction that he won.

I'm going to be returning the favor and giving my reading copy away as a freebie to a new generation reader, either on the SKMB or Facebook groups....someone that doesn't have a collection of 1sts going yet and this will at least give them a placeholder on an essential "older" book.

So thanks again to the member that just upgraded my copy to a great copy that I'll be perfectly happy with for my general collection of US 1st's, and also that gives a young, new collector an essential for free.

I just acquired a very rare item for my Dark Tower collection...a Lettered Legends..."SS" Not that I was DYING to own one of these, but I've been collecting King/Dark Tower for 25 years more or less and I THINK this is the only copy I have ever seen for sale (or at least been for sale where I had a chance to buy it). Legends, in my opinion, is a "sleeper" limited in that while it is first appearance of the story "Little Sisters of Eluria", there were only 125 S/Ls produced and only 50 Lettered copies. I've owned an S/L for a number of years now and while the Lettered edition is indistinguishable from the S/L other than having Letters instead of numbers on the limitation page, the fact that these never come up for sale of course made me want to find and acquire one. I know at least one member here owns a Lettered copy (likely more of them among members here), but there are some huge names that contributed stories to this book, not the least of which is George R. R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame.

I am thrilled to now own this book as part of my Dark Tower collection...here is a picture of the limitation page...the book and slipcase are minty fresh!!

Very nice Legends, David. Congrats! Now I almost want to collect the Legends books again. I always told myself not to.

[Theli]

That's amazing David! Legends is a truly noteworthy anthology, many of the biggest names in genre fiction are included, several of which haved passed on since it's publication.

[Pasiuk57]

I agree-it is underrated. VERY small print run for the S/L also.

Just added to my collection a few french fanzines. The funny thing is they were created by someone whose website I took over about 15 years ago.
I am still missing a few, but I added 3 from the end of 90s. It seem that there were 100 copies of each at the time.

# 15 & 16 :
http://club-stephenking.fr/img/APROPOS/newsletter/steve-s-rag/SteveSRag15.jpg http://club-stephenking.fr/img/APROPOS/newsletter/steve-s-rag/SteveSRag16.jpg

And this one. It is a bonus to the #18, and is called "Top Secret" for a simple reason. It reprints a screenplay for which they didnt have the copyright to do so...
I hope that it wont bring troubles to anyone for mentionning this.

I missed out on the Pennywise painting that Erin Wells donated to the HF Fundraiser this year. Loved that painting and decided I needed to have a painting from her. I got this yesterday and it's off to the framer now. Couldn't wait the 2 weeks to share though. I'm extremely happy with this. I love Erin's take on Pennywise and I've wanted something that represents my favorite literary scene.

Been looking for this for about a year....and wanted to pay less than $200.

Given that this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King-s-2nd-pro-appearance-STARTLING-MYSTERY-STORIES-1969-/191842020606?hash=item2caaacecfe%3Ag%3AwQwAAOSw6wR XAqQm&nma=true&si=h4wqRVmLhbRC%252BMBMTkyMY1vH1Ew%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) sold for $101 on auction, and mine is in better shape, I think I paid a fair price.

[peripheral]

More than a fair price, great deal Rick...

[wizardsrainbow]

OK, I am supposed to get book today and I suck at pictures but this is best I can do on the Salem's inscription....and I forgot to say (I think) that it is signed a second time (flatsigned, early sig!) on title page.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/DavidLyon1a.jpg

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/DavidLyon2.jpg

[wizardsrainbow]

Some text (memories) from David Lyon that I got via email.

A little background -- Steve and I met standing in line at freshman orientation at UMO in September 1966. We were waiting to see a free movie. We got to talking and discovered that we shared a love of Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, really bad British horror flicks, etc. And we agreed that once we got out of school, we both wanted to write paperback novels and make $20,000 a year. Between us, we reached both those goals. We were also trying to pick up the same girl named Emily. Steve succeeded on that account too, since he had a single room at the university cabins. (Flipper was one of his high school friends and I believe that they later shared an apartment.)

another...If you're a die-hard Stephen King fan, you probably know me--or at least by Steve's insistent misspelling of my last name. I am David Lyon, and about as much back story as you need about my relation to Steve is in the afterword of The Gunslinger. I was the one with the ream of canary yellow mimeo paper. (or, as he called it, Roadrunner Yellow)

another...The references to guitar and cigarette roller are simple. In the summer of 1969, when we all worked in the University of Maine Orono library, Steve and I formed the Up Against the Jug Futhermucker Wall Band. We performed original lyrics to jug band and traditional blues tunes. Tabby soon joined as well. We were, frankly, terrible. We were also poor, and rolled our own cigarettes.

Finally (from me)...David Lyon is a published poet and he has poem entries (with Steve, Tabby and others) in MOTH.

I suck at pictures but this is best I can do on the Salem's inscription.

Here you go...

Here ya go...

For Dave Lyons,
With best wishes and
many good memories, most of
which seem to be tinged with
alcohol or some sort of hallucin-
organic substance - take care
of yourself + hope to see you
some time this Spring. This book
will never win a Nobel or Pulitzer,
but I like to think it’s better
than that Cosmopolitan abortion -
do you still play some blues guitar?

Again, best wishes,
Steve King

P.S - I still have my Top cigarette roller.

Nothing fancy. Just something I never heard about.



Sometimes, when I have some spare time, I go to some websites and check the 40 pages or so of auctions & ads related to Stephen King.
Most of the time, it's just a waste of time. And some other time, you get lucky and accidently discover some item you never heard about.

That was the case last weekend when an auction listed Stephen King in a (french) magazine from 1986, and was mentionning an essay written by King.
I ordered it, and it's true. It's a translation of the introduction to JimThompson's NOW AND ON EARTH

[Theli]

Hmm, I knew he'd done the Killer Inside Me, but not Now and On Earth. I'm a big fan of Thompson, he's in my top 5 authors with King.

[carlosdetweiller]

The King piece is actually called "Big Jim Thompson: An Appreciation" and it appeared in a reprint of NOW AND ON EARTH, by Dennis McMillan Publications in 1986.

[herbertwest]

Thanks.
I found this on facebook :
>>> https://www.facebook.com/downeastmagazine/posts/10151044147965072



Down East Magazine
13 décembre 2011 ·
Stephen King from our January 2011 feature "Maine in Your Words"
"My idea of the real Maine is lunch at Rosie's Diner in Lovell. Especially in the fall, after the summer folks go home. Grab a copy of the local paper (the Bridgton News), sit at the counter, and order the blueberry pancakes (with real maple syrup). Bacon on the side's optional. The cook wears a Red Sox hat, there's a picture of Elvis over the specials board, and the locals talk politics and football while the leaves fall outside. If you like, when you finish your lunch, you can stroll across to the public library. Not bad."

[Ari_Racing]

It's correct. That's the piece.

[herbertwest]

Thanks for confirming!
I see one reference that sort of be matching in Justin, it's C838 : Characters.

C838. “Characters” -
King’s contribution is part of an umbrella article with this title.
Appearances:
1. Down East (January 2011): 30.

"Characters" doesnt seem appropriate to me. Is it really the same one?

Nice! Congratulations!

Thanks Ari. Yeah, I'm stoked, they're great copies. I keep changing my collecting rules - now I'm like... "Maybe some inscribed copies of ONLY my very favourite King novels".

Thanks, Ari!

[NoAttitudeThisTime]

Thanks for confirming!
I see one reference that sort of be matching in Justin, it's C838 : Characters.

C838. “Characters” -
King’s contribution is part of an umbrella article with this title.
Appearances:
1. Down East (January 2011): 30.

"Characters" doesnt seem appropriate to me. Is it really the same one?

It's "Characters" in the magazine.

Here are some PnJ's from the last couple of months.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/the_stand_sl.jpg

I was too nervous to take off the glassine cover. It seems I can't keep the coffin lid on, when standing up. Is this normal?

Here are a bunch of others in my book case (including The Stand above).

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/recent_pnj_croped.jpg

This includes:

Top shelf:

The Secretary of Dreams Vol 1 Limited edition (from Betts)
Full Dark No Stars Lettered edition (from ebay)
The Stand Limited edition (from ebay)

2nd Shelf:

Back row:

Secretary of Dreams Vol 1 and 2 matching Lettereds (from Betts)

Front Row:

`Salem's Lot Gift Ed (from CD)
`Salem's Lot Artist Ed (from CD) (not my remarqued version which is boxed and ready to ship back to CD)
The Shining (from Folio Society)
The Talisman Lettered edition (from ebay)

Does anyone have suggestions on how to display Full Dark no Stars? Right now it is leaning back so that there is no weight on the latch on the bottom. Also what about The Stand, I can't stand it upright without the lid falling off (I guess I could turn it to face the side of the bookcase, which is a little better then it is now)

Just the last month!? What a month for you!... Congrats, wonderful selection. Re The Stand S/L - yes, the lid can easily tip forward if you simply stand it on one side - the "lip" of the coffin lid is too shallow for this. Best way to display it is to buy a small acrylic easel - eBay has them. Because of its weight and size, make sure the bottom of the easel is long enough to extend beyond the bottom of the Stand.

Enjoy those new P&J's!

Edit
- Yes, what Jerome said :)

[HONKYTONKSMASH]

Very nice stuff! My Stand is the same way. I think some people use an acrylic stand to display their stand (that was funny to type).

Well since you live in the Austin area, you are more then welcome to stop by. Would love to get suggestions from other local collectors. Maybe I'll try to organize an get together for the local on some saturday afternoon, now that my new house is almost organized/presentable.

Thanks everyone for their comments. Especially Jerome and others with suggestions on the stand for the Stand (yeah that is fun to say!).

Been looking for this for about a year....and wanted to pay less than $200.

Given that this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-King-s-2nd-pro-appearance-STARTLING-MYSTERY-STORIES-1969-/191842020606?hash=item2caaacecfe%3Ag%3AwQwAAOSw6wR XAqQm&nma=true&si=h4wqRVmLhbRC%252BMBMTkyMY1vH1Ew%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) sold for $101 on auction, and mine is in better shape, I think I paid a fair price.

Well, since I recently bought the book that contained King's 2nd professional sale, I figured I had to buy the book that had the first.

No, it's not signed.

So, I would say :
- Directly from the publisher
- Or he's being sneaky and did his own print on demand version.

But he as very good contacts at the publisher, doesn't he? ;)

HA! I'm not really into the print on demand. The emotional value I put on items is because these are originals. ;)

[becca69]

You get the coolest stuff Ari!! Your unsigned Charlie Book would fetch a premium price I think ;)

I like the look of that Japanese edition of The Gunslinger.

[herbertwest]

It does look nice indeed. When does the IN SUNLIGHT OF SHADOWS gets released again?

Nothing fancy for me, but an "oddity".
I recently acquired what was presented as a french "journalist" copy of JOYLAND
It is exactly the same as the uncorrected proof, except that it's not written that on the cover, and that there is a random picture glued on the cover. Otherwise, everything is the same as the Proof, as it was printed at the same time !

Great stuff from the international team!

Very nice all!

I finally have something King-related that's worthy of this thread.:dance: Traded in some bags of books for this:

Awesome. Congratulations - I really love this S/L, one of my old school favourites.

[Brian861]

Very nice, Ron!

[RC65]

Thanks, guys -- I'm not the King collector many around here are, but Classic King remains a love of mine, and so I'm thrilled to have this to add to my collection. Someday, maybe -- maybe -- I'll finally have the S/L of THE STAND. Until then, this'll tide me over nicely.

[Theli]

Top drawer Ron! Congrats!

[Patrick]

Congrats on the CUJO S/L!

Been waiting a while to own this one and thanks to Betts, now I finally have it on my shelf. And with a sweet Remarque in it too. Thanks, David!

My first (and probably only) King signed lettered edition, and my second King sig. overall. I'm a huge Jim Thompson fan too and love The Killer Inside Me, so this was a fantastic buy for me.

I ended up getting my copy directly from the publisher and noticed that it was signed by him as well, were all copies signed by Craig Graham?

[needfulthings]

The Limited Signed Edition 1/350 & The Deluxe Signed Edition 1/26 were only signed by King & The Numbered Uncorrected Proofs 1/35 were only signed by Craig Graham.

[Theli]

Thanks for the info Bruce!

[firemonkey66]

Nice, sounds like it might be an uncommon signature combo. Congrats!

Nor have I, but apparently there was a bit of a mix up that caused the delay unfortunately. Hopefully it's on it's way now. It does appear to be a beautiful edition. Congrats Picontin.

Fangorn is the illustrator IICRC. Not sure about internal illustrations. We are working on getting these into the catalog soon!

OK, i misread. I thought you said that there 2 full pages art in the wrapparound. No it's 2 illustrations + wrapparound art.
Thanks

[DoctorZaius]

OK, so it's been a while since I put up some new things. Earlier this year I found out that Bernie Wrightson was coming to Boston Comic Con. Many of us have heard about Bernie's health issues and knew that he was no longer doing remarques, in fact, his wife said he isn't doing any drawing at all, just appearances like these. Very sad. Still, it would be a chance to meet the man who, in addition to creating Swamp Thing, also did Wolves of the Calla and Cycle of the Werewolf. At minimum, I figured a signature was in order (I got a trade Calla signed). As I was perusing two portfolios containing sketches and prelim drawings, hoping for something King related, I was talking with Bernie's wife, Liz, who said that unfortunately all the King material was gone. But then I hit some surprises: a very rough prelim sketch for Werewolf, and some very cool prelim sketches used for Calla (they match up nicely with finished pieces in the Grant edition). When I showed her them, she laughed and said that she had thought they had all been sold, but I could purchase them if I wanted. Needless to say, I snagged them all and got Bernie to sign them as well. I might not be able to get a Wrightson remarque, but these prelims are a very cool alternative, and these are the last in his collection, or so says Liz. Well, here they are for your perusal - I have included some pics of Bernie signing them too.

Awesome !

Congratulations - I love Bernie's work and those are great pieces.

Very cool prelim sketches! I have one from The Stand that I am very happy to own, so I know how you feel!

Very cool! It's amazing what we can find if we look.
