Now if only Frazetta's Squeeze Play would turn up again in time for inclusion, all would be right in the world...

Boom.

[Bird]

These are really just names to me, I am looking forward to seeing this book and learning why they are so revered.

[lb jefferies]

This is going to be wonderful.

 

Next pie-in-the-sky wish after this is a Frazetta artist portfolio of all the Famous Funnies covers. There's only 5 locations for all 8 covers, right? Shouldn't be too difficult.

 

Work your magic, Mr. Dunbier!

Sweet. I don't know any Artist's Editions yet, but I may have to get this one.

This book is so out of my wheelhouse, but I am considering getting it, just to see the art by these legends that is way before my time in comics.

Looks interesting . . . I've heard about those EC guys . . .

I figured that you had, Terry!

 

BTW, did any of you catch that it says "Volume One" on the cover treatment?

at 22x15 it still wont be as large as my Wally Wood AE (25x19) but it will be close!

 

The "Best of" approach is smart, since trying to find enough art from a single artist is tough. This lets AE "get away" with a great grouping of artists...

 

on my list!

[Pete Marino]

Will there be a pre-order window on this? Not sure how the others worked....

 

how do you find out when the pre-orders are available?

[miraclemet]

once it's in Previews you can preorder it thru your comic shop or online at dcbservice.com (and I believe you can also pre-order direct thru IDW's website)

Thanks, I'll talk to my LCS this weekend, always good to support the local shop.

plus this is one of the few books out there that does not get much of a discount for a pre-order.

Yep!

[drdroom]

That cover art is kind of good, huh?

Incidentally it looks like the source for this fake:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frank-FRAZETTA-ORIGINAL-Barbarian-pencil-/140916346974?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20cf44d05e

 

...at least I think it's a fake. I suppose it could be a prelim for the greatest comic cover of all time. Let the bidding begin!

The Wally Wood, MAD and Jack Davis Artist's Editions are all the same size, 15 x 22 inches.

 

But they FEEL like they should be that big!

Just to clarify... the NET price to retailers is $95, then they determine the price they sell it at. IDW will retail it for $125.00, as will some comic book shops.

Sounds good Scott. But I'm ready for that Eisner Spirit book. I don't just want it, I NEED it!
