I would've loved to have gone to this just for something like that. Only issue is the spelling of "Neuman", but I don't know - maybe there's a reason for that? lol. Anyway, that's so cool.

Still wouldn't mind getting a copy, mind you. I've changed my mind on this one, by the way. My objection to the execution was that when I saw the small image, it looked to me like somebody trying desperately to look like Corben... and in my experience, nobody but Corben himself had ever pulled that look off. Seeing the larger image and realizing that they had actually found a highly suitable Corben image to use at the cover, I find it delightful. The catch being that only 5 copies of the variant seem to have hit eBay, and the three buy it nows seem to have lasted about 5 minutes each. It seems like about once a year I do get crazy lucky on my timing, and this was one of them, at least. The two that are being auctioned are going for a minimum of at least half again as much as what I paid, and still have a couple days to go. @Hap Hazard. I'm guessing you got your copy at the panel itself, given the speed with which you showed it. Did they happen to say what the print run was?

I thought it was 100 copies, but have been told that is incorrect, so I have know idea. And Yes I was at the panel and got a copy.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted August 8 Popular Post Share Posted August 8 Just got in a slight upgrade of this one. The big dealer I got it from didn’t know the significance of this cover and priced it fairly low.

Popular Post OtherEric Posted August 9 Popular Post Share Posted August 9 So, picked up the Cruel Universe #1 today. MUCH more impressed than I was with Epitaphs from the Abyss. The first story, "The Champion", was particularly impressive.. Bill & Al would have made them cut it from 10 pages to 8, but otherwise I think it would have fit in just fine in a classic EC SF issue, and higher praise I cannot give. The rest of the stories weren't quite as great, but all of them were pretty good. Highly recommended.
