Stan posted on Facebook that he's signing the bookplates for this. The picture shows a bookplate with "This is # _______ of an edition of 999."

That's quite an unusual number to pick, but I like it!

I actually signed about 1200. That will accommodate the Artist Proofs, Publisher Proofs, and any damages. The plates are a little more than 9x13 inches, so it will be a fairly large volume, especially at about 460 pages.

There will also be an edition of 50 with blank plates on which I will do original sketches.

I don't know what any of these retail for.

Picked up the new Previews catalog yesterday but didn't see the Complete Grasscutter listed in it.
Will this be listed for August possibly? Available at SDCC and then listed later?

However, the story will be the same, so don’t expect any new twists when you read it.
So do we order the Special Edition with an original drawing directly from IDW?

I'd guess it'll go up on the IDW Limited site: https://idwlimited.com

Based on past offerings, I think it's reasonable to assume the signed edition of 999 will sell for $125-150, the run of 50 with sketches in the $250-400 range, and the VIP book at $500 (for the book + dinner + limited edition comic book).
