NewEnglandGothic Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 O’Barr has said before that he crafted The Crow after his fianceé was killed by a drunk driver when he was 18. What’s startling is O’Barr’s revelation in this new book: that she was killed just as she was headed to her car to pick up O’Barr because, of all things, he had called her for a ride since he hadn’t paid his car insurance.

I think that would haunt me for the rest of my life. Now I get it more than ever, though the unnecessary death of a loved one is never easy. If I was a catalyst for where they were when it happened, it would be overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comix4fun Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 This just arrived. I've owned one before and regretted selling it. The CD was released again but two tracks were changed. This edition has the originals. 1500 produced, signed and numbered. Did I get my copy from you a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comix4fun Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oh and I picked this up recently. The Crow: Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams Something like 550 pages...and signed by 39 creators. The cherry on top is, this one was limited to 1500 signed and numbered copies and this was a "publisher's copy", a little extra on the rarity.

Guest Grails Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 This just arrived. I've owned one before and regretted selling it. The CD was released again but two tracks were changed. This edition has the originals. 1500 produced, signed and numbered. Did I get my copy from you a few years ago? I don't remember but its possible. I've sold two of them, both NM/M and in one of them I had the loose color print signed by O'Barr in gold near the bottom. By the way, interesting note, there are 1500 s/n copies of the book itself. There are not 1500 slipcased editions with the CD. I don't know how many of those were made but I'll email James and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 WHOA!! Now that is a lot of signatures, but packaged so nicely they look great together. But what was Charles De Lint doing - testing to see if the pen worked? Talk about making your signature stand out from the rest. I noticed the Harlan Ellison signature. I had to look that one up to see what he did related to The Crow. Harlan Ellison's story "Objects of Desire in the Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear", written in the DANGEROUS VISIONS bookstore window based on just a few words from X-FILES creator Chris Carter, will appear in the signed, numbered, deluxe edition of THE CROW: SHATTERED LIVES AND BROKEN DREAMS story compilation (and NOT in any other version). That is really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_not_so_nice Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's the real thing. I matched the scans line for line. Lay one scan over the other and they are identical. Deadworld #10 was also the first book published by Caliber Comics. November 1988 with a January 1989 cover date. It's a little slice of history. Wow! So the seller didn't even know what they had? The listing talks about a 1993 graphic novel, and doesn't even mention this was the back cover of Deadworld 10 and the 1st Caliber Comics publication. shocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sd2416 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 O’Barr began crafting The Crow in 1981, with Caliber Comics first publishing the Crow’s adventures in 1989. The new trade paperback by Gallery Books honors the character with a re-release of the graphic novel O’Barr intended all along, all done with traditional ink on paper and hand-drawn lettering on the original art. That old-school technique goes for new pages, too — 30 pages of never-before-seen artwork, including a new closing segment called “Sparklehorse.” O’Barr explains the significance of that new closing sequence and the special edition as a whole in a most revealing new introduction, where he sets the record straight “once and for all” on what really happened to the girl who was the inspiration for Shelly. Now I knew about his girlfriend. I did not know the reason she was out driving that night. O’Barr has said before that he crafted The Crow after his fianceé was killed by a drunk driver when he was 18. What’s startling is O’Barr’s revelation in this new book: that she was killed just as she was headed to her car to pick up O’Barr because, of all things, he had called her for a ride since he hadn’t paid his car insurance. The Crow Special Edition review He attended our show here in May. Was great to talk to and pick his brain and listen to all the details of how everything came together. He carries his inks and pencils around in a Crow lunch box. Cant wait to have him down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
