Comments for: Stephen King's Battleground

I must admit that when i heard that Gauntlet Press wanted to make a book about that short story, and more precisely about its adaptation, i was a bit skeptical about the interest of such a book.. because the story is pretty short : how to make a complete book about it?

But Gauntlet Press managed to put together a really interesting set of interviews and contributions from all sorts of people involved in this episod : from the screenwriter to the producers, the SFx experts, the composer... and let's not forget, William Hunt, which is known worldwide as an actor with a "specific" voice, but that had to do his performance without saying any word.

This book cannot be read... one can only devour it.

In my opinion, the 3 main elements of this book are : Stephen King's short story, Richard Christian Matheson's script, and the storyboard (which can be read as easily as a graphic novel. Well, once again, it cannot be read : one would find himself turning the pages compulsively!).

The storyboard itself is a good reason to buy this book.

From Gauntlet's eNewsletter:

"We have received the signed numbered and lettered copies of Stephen King's Battleground and have begun shipping. All signed numbered copies will ship by the end of this week. All slipcased copies will ship by the end of next week. We’ll then ship the lettered edition. We have been told that the unsigned edition will arrive in Detroit by the end of this week. If accurate, they should be at our warehouse in Michigan a few days later. We’ll have copies for customers shipped to us and will then begin shipping. We’ll be shipping those who ordered copies of each edition (or any two editions) as soon as we receive the unsigned copies. The book looks beautiful and, despite the unexpected delays, it is well worth the wait."

I'm looking forward to my Signed & Numbered, no King sig tho

The lettered are traycased. Are the numbered slipcased?

Yes
