I already have the Deluxe and the limited. Both look awesome

[sgc1999]

thats a good price for that book since it was selling for $330 new from PS Publishing.

It may be a good price, but to me it shows the book is not holding its value. I'm sure it will probably go for less in the future.

[Ric]

You'd think for an edition of only 200 copies that it would be scarcer than it has been

[sgc1999]

Ya, true. they have been selling below original price for a while now. both the 200 limited and the 300 limited.

[Tito_Villa]

Not only that but there are less than 200 complete copies because some were printed with the extras missing, i have to say that i love my copy and that it has a nice remarque too makes it even more special!

[sgc1999]

I have a signed pair of devil horns that joe signed for me last year in NH when i inundated him with books an comics to sign he is a very accommodating person. super mellow down to earth guy.

[ELazansky]

I collect Joe because I enjoy his writing. I doubt his signature is going to be a lot in the future.

[sgc1999]

Ya i doubt it too. But thats kind of cool that he makes himself available to so many of his fans.

So I found this listed at Amazon.com today:

Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft Special Edition
Product Details
Hardcover: 250 pages
Publisher: IDW Publishing (October 11, 2011)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1613770766
ISBN-13: 978-1613770764

Product Description
This deluxe hardcover edition of the first volume of Locke & Key presents the Eisner-nominated series in glorious oversized fashion for the first time. And in addition to the complete "Welcome to Lovecraft" tale, this Special Edition also features Eisner nominee Joe Hill's complete scripts, all packaged under a special die-cut key cover. The ultimate presentation of the acclaimed storyline that began the fantastic tale of the Locke family.

Wouldn't you consider the Sub Press edition of WtoL "oversized?" This is like a reprint of the Sub Press book. Weird...

[sgc1999]

ya i saw that too. Its like beating a dead horse.They have sold a few versions now and come out with so many so called "variants" wich are nowhere near the quality of the original artwork. IDW tends to bleed every possible drop that joe will let them. There quality is just not there. It wont be anywhere near the quality of Sub press. Im actually a little dissapointed joe is letting them get away with some of the cheese they have sold in the locke and key name.

For those interested in such things (I am)

Pre-order a signed copy of Locke & Key Vol 4: Keys to the Kingdom HC from
RiverRun Bookstore

Pre-order the next in the Locke & Key replica keys from
Skelton Crew Studio

New ones are the Hercules Key
And two new "Legacy" edition keys, the Hercules Key and the Head Key.

The Legacy Hercules key will have the tag signed by L&K colorist Jay Fotos for all orders received by July 14th.

Now go forth and spend money.

??? "The original artwork" was published by IDW, not SubPress. I'd say IDW can do whatever they want with it because it's their right to do so. I passed on the SubPress editions because I felt them overpriced. As for the 'cheese' and 'quality just not there' comments... 1) Joe Hill seems like a comic nerd. Comic nerds like variants. I don't think he let them get away with anything. I'm sure none of them got rich of 1000 print runs at $4 a pop. They're just cool to look at. 2) Have you seen IDW's single issue Locke & Key? They're hands down the nicest, highest quality looking single issue comics out there. IDW are compared to Marvel and DC so insignificantly small and their quality by far exceedes them and the price is same(ish). Just look at a regular Batman comic next to L&K then compare the HC edition of the same. They're not even close.

Edit: I am really sorry for sounding like an asshole. Please accept my apologies.
I'm not an authority on comics but I do have 20+ comics on my monthly pull list so I can at least compare.

Also, that update on Joe Hill's website is neat. I ordered last 2 L&K hardcovers.

[sgc1999]

right on. no worries

I helped set this interview up at World Horror in May and was guarding the door to the room when it was going on.

[Randall Flagg]

Received these today. Interesting that the numbered art is also lettered as "A".

[ELazansky]

Very nice!

[Tito_Villa]

Nice, that was one though that i just couldn't justify buying because it would have been just for the signature!

[Patrick]

I didn't order these either, for the same reason as Tom.

Beautiful editions, though. Congrats, Jerome!

[Nerak]

Did anyone happen to purchase an extra copy of the "Anywhere" key from Skelton Studio? I forgot all about it and never ordered it. Now it's sold out and the only one that I have seen available was selling for $150!!!! Please help me!!!! I need a complete set of keys!

[nyy3723a]

I've given up on collecting the keys. When I saw there were another batch coming out, I threw in the towel. I'm satisfied with the first 4.

[Nerak]

I have no problem accepting your four as a gift! No really! LOL I want all I can get my hands on! I love the keys! I just ordered the three latest releases. Got the IDW key from Comic Con (which is cool). I think I need to start collecting keys as a hobby and have them framed....mmmm. shadow boxing my L&K keys...there's an idea.....

[Gris]

How many are there really? The only one I have is the Ghost Key. SO if anyone has duplicated they are willing to part with, let me know what you are asking.

Ghost
Anywhere
Head
Echo
Shadow
Hercules


What else am I missing?

That's all so far. You can order the IDW Key from Skelton Crew now, and the Animal and Undertree Keys are listed as coming soon.
