What's contained in this?

Post by madman31 »

If it's been mentioned elsewhere, I apologize. I just saw this listing on Amazon and was curious:

http://www.amazon.com/Usagi-Yojimbo-Spe ... 290&sr=1-5

Edit: I just found this on another post. So am now "in the know". Do we know specifically what issues are going to be in each volume?

It apparently is something that has yet to be released. When it is ,I'm sure the site will have more details on it. Cover picture...a more detailed write up...etc. Be patient dude and watch the site for further details. :)

It will reprint the Fantagraphics Books UY (volumes 1-7) in two hardcover slipcased editions. It will also contain all the comic book covers (hopefully in color), and a new interview with me.

This is still in the planning stage, so there may be more or less goodies than I mentioned above. In addition, there may be a limited, signed and remarqued edition. We're hoping for a San Diego Con release for this.

It's just a small drawing:

I usually remarque the signed editions with an Usagi head sketch, rather than just signing them as most artists do.

Ok, I've done a search on this and can't find the answer. When is this available? I preordered on Amazon and haven't heard anything. Thanks for any help you can give! :)

Great news! I was hoping there would be a limited version. :D

Does it say how many will be signed and numbered?

I never even read the write-up for the book in Previews, just looked it up in the order book and showed the listing to the guy at the local comic shop for ordering.

That's cool.

If anyone has picked up the new Previews could you see if that info is listed? I'd do it myself, but my local comic shop has been closed for two months. :(
