Yea and it's a very popular book among King fans. Probably in most folks Top Five King favs I'd guess. I sold my GE for $400 I think to a member here.It sure does. I follow a lot of them on Ebay (auctions) and they are always over $400. Mine was $450 when I bought it. ALL THINGS IT.... remember that.I don't think anyone really saw the future pricing of this edition. It failed to sell out on initial release and then when it was offered as part of CD's 50% off sale, a lot of people snapped up additional copies.The constantly upward rising price of the IT S/L has pulled the price of this one along with it. it regularly goes on sale around the $400 mark on eBay.Dunno, but the book was what : $95 at the release?

Do they both have a remarque or just Christine? I would think Pet Sematary, remarque or no would go for more than $75. Seems to be the most desirable of the PS releases so far.
Really? It has been panned for the artwork since day one no? I would say be hard pressed to sell for much more of that...

I'd say on Ebay you could sell the set for $350 fairly easily.
Just Pet Sem? Not remarqued? SHOCKED.

I got $50 out of my PS a couple months back...and that was a struggle haha So id say 50-75 on PS and 175~ on Christine remarqued IMOJust Pet Sem? Not remarqued? SHOCKED.
Probably also depends on how quickly you want to sell it. But I am somewhat surprised at $50 sale, seems lowball to me. Also I had no complaints with the artwork.
I sold a PS Christine (no remarque) in August on Amazon for $200.00
Thanks, guys. Just Christine is Remarqued.

These are three portfolios featuring Wrightson's Frankenstein work, issue years before the book with King's intro came out. Each portfolio was 6 prints.
You can usually find them on ebay for about $100-200 each.

Between 1976 and 1982 comic book artist Bernie Wrightson (during the ’70’s and early ’80s he dropped the ‘e‘ from his name to avoid confusion with the Olympic diver) drew 50 pen and ink illustrations to accompany Mary Wollstonecraft Shelly’s gothic masterpiece Frankenstein. Wrightson, a mainstay at DC Comics in the Seventies and co-creator of fan-favourite Swamp Thing, set himself the goal of mimicking the engraved style of illustration popular when Shelley’s story first saw print. As a life-long fan of the book he originally penned the illustrations purely for this own amusement and fitted the work in between paid assignments. But with artwork of such high quality it was inevitable that the drawings would see print and in 1983 Marvel Comics published a special edition of Frankenstein incorporating 43 of Wrightson’s wonderfully detailed illustrations.
But before that edition was published three six-plate portfolio collections featuring drawings from the book were released: two by Tyrannosaurus Press and a third by French publisher Les Editions Du Triton. This portfolio – the third – was released in 1980 and contains illustrations not used in the final book.

Published as a limited run of 1,200 copies (this edition is #81) the set contains six high quality black and white prints measuring 16 x 11 inches printed on thick watercolour stock. The superior paper stock allows the fine detail of Wrightson’s penmanship to shine – these really are gorgeous illustrations. The plates shipped in a large fold-out envelope made from the same paper and each edition was hand-signed by Wrightson.
Thank's Papaseraphim, I was at a auction today and they had all three and was just curious. The French publisher's one is in a folder of heavy paper stock but was in fair condition prints are very good.
The folder for Frankenstein 3 was designed a little bigger so all 18 plates would fit.
I still consider the Frankenstein illustrations to be Wrightson's finest work.
