I've got the original museum catalog for the Wood exhibit, which IDW is reprinting in hardcover and it's beautiful. Lots of original art, just not full size like the Artist Edition of Wood's EC art.

There was a third super-exclusive Simonson Thor Artist Edition which came with a slipcase, with an original sketch on the front of the slipcase. The latest word about the reprint of Alien The Illustrated Story is that there are a couple more versions coming out. I read about this on the Marvel Maste...

Are there sample pages posted online for the artist who was said to have difficulty depicting spatial relationships (in the 12/26 show)? I'm intrigued.

Even though I talked about an Indie book John had not had an opportunity to read, I think we still had a decent conversation about some topics related to it. As soon as I read this, I realized (despite my initial hesitation about a format change in which you both might not be reading all the titles...

I don't have any ideas yet for how to change to show now that you are not always reading the same titles. I do know that the thing I like the most about the show is the intelligent, informed (sometimes differing) opinion, especially, the interaction between you guys. I first started listening to the...

You're right about the Wood influence on Mark Schultz. When the first Xenozoic stories appeared I was turned off by how nakedly influenced he was by the EC artists, especially Wood, Williamson, and Frazetta, but over time he integrated all his influences into an elegant style recognizably his own.

His Howard art was disturbing, almost like What If Howard the Duck was a Vertigo comic?

atomic99,

Have you seen these scans from the book? They're quite large and detailed, although not as large as the book is going to be.

What was the price for the Simonson Thor Artist's Edition pre-order at DCBS? Westfield had it listed as cover price, $100.00, their pre-order price $90.00. TFAW had it listed as cover price $120.00, their price $96.00. Midtown says regular price $125.00, your price $106.25. Tales of Wonder says reta...

Darwyn Cooke's work is outstanding. I'd also recommend the out-of-print Chandler by Steranko. Look for the trade paperback version, not the mass market paperback size. It's on better paper and you can really enjoy the art more. A recolored reprint has been scheduled off and on (titled "Red Tide...

I'd never heard of this, so thanks for the link. It's eerie how much the faces look like John Buscema's work.

What does everyone think?

I hate it! Too much white space means I have to scroll a lot. I find it harder to read/use than the old site. When did they switch?

There's a good interview with him on a recent Comics on Comics podcast. I met him in the 1980s at some cons as he was a local comics legend.

In the interview he says he's never been to the West Coast, so a San Diego appearance is out, since he doesn't like to fly.

I also bought the 1980s reprints when they came out. The Not Brand Ecch story parodies a Steranko story, but it's not drawn by him: it's the work of Frank Springer. As you say, there are a lot of ways to read these three issues. I'd suggest anyone who hasn't read the stories avoid the 1980s reprints...

Those are two pretty huge collections!

And, hey, a picture with John Jackson Miller, one of the elite Super Fan Spotlight interviewees. (I like those episodes a lot.)

Now you need to get photos with the other four ...
