The Jack Davis one does tend to dwarf it though...man that thing is huge.

 

Both of the EC books (Jack Davis and Wally Wood), as well as the Will Eisner book are extra-super-huge. I believe this is due to the larger size of paper that the art on these older series was drawn on. I assume that the upcoming Best of EC will similarly be collected in the larger sized book.

I think its a gorgeous way to showcase some of that older EC art.

 

The Davis stuff -- even though I was never a fan of the Tales from the Crypt books -- is stunning to look at.

Oh, shoot, sorry about that!!

 

And, about the EC books, you are right, they are printed that size because the paper was that big.

@Scott,

 

Does the SDCC exclusive "Xenozoic" AE come with a Mark Schultz signature plate or not?

 

It says so in this thread however it is not listed as such on your website.

 

Are there any other differences from the regular version (except for the cover)?

 

Thanks.

Hmm, we'll have to fix that, thanks for the tip.

 

The Mark Schultz Xenozoic Tales limited DOES come with a signature plate, numbered up to 250.

@Scott,

 

but except for the different cover and the signature plate both editions are the same then?

There is no slipcase or addtional material in the SDCC version?

The Jack Davis AE arrived here, today.

 

In the Horror genre, Graham Ingels is (for me) head-and-shoulders above Davis, but Jack was a versatile artist and this book showcases his ability to slip easily into different types of story.

 

For me, Davis was at his best working for the Kurtzman-edited War books.

 

I was especially pleased to see 'Whupped!' featured in this book. To my mind, this was Davis's best-ever EC story. I placed a heavy bid on the original art years ago when Cochran auctioned the story. Anthony Smith must have liked this one, too, as he matched my bid and won out (as his bid arrived before mine!).

 

Excellent addition to this series of wonderful books, Scott. Really looking forward to the Best-of-EC volume.

Just got my Byrne's copy, and it's impressive!

 

This was my first time to buy it directly to IDW from Spain, and the last one. I paid $56 for shipping plus $45 for customs, since they declared full value. It's not a criticism about this, but I ended paying $200 for a $100 book, so next time I'll use my local comic book shop and order it via Previews, like in the past.

 

Anyway, IDW costumer service was really good. They shipped it really fast and it arrived in record time, fully protected and it was traceable in both legs.

 

Fortunately, I ordered the Byrne's FF book, which was well worth even at this price. IDW again produced another flawless edition with great design, at the level of such masterwork. Again, thanks to Scott and his team, and all the collectors who provided the scans of their pieces.

 

Looking at the covers of FF #234 and #286, I'm not sure if I prefer the covers with overlays or without them. People?

There is definitely not a slipcase and I don't believe they've ever had a different page count for exclusives. They've always been diff cover, sigs, sketch, or case.
