I very much doubt it, especially with the negatives destroyed. The stories would either have to be recolored or scanned from the printed pages which would result in a loss of quality.
I still have a lot of Color Specials 2 and 3 left.
Right now, I'm about half done with reinking the story. A few panels and at least one page have been completely redrawn. I'll send a couple of pages to Todd when the story is finished, and he can post them.

It's amazing; the book isn't due before four months and you've got half of that story ready....
Are you "just" pushing yourself or do you work ahead so that you can afford the time for some spontanous trips?
Eitherway, I hope you'll think about your health rather than about your fans, because I believe we could all wait some extra weeks...

The book is scheduled for a July release, but my deadline is mid-February. The only thing left to turn is is the 20 page Tomoe story.
DH has to assemble the book, including the endpapers and the introduction. They have to print the HC signature plates, then send them to me for signing, then to the printer.
I'm a big ignoramus when it comes to publishing comic books and it's deadlines; I'm sorry if it sounded naive to assume you've got a lot more time than you actually have.
My point is: I hope you do not push yourself too much because you don't want your fans to wait for the next issue/tpb; but I guess you can take care of yourself without my meager words of warning

I appreciate your concern. Actually, both Dark Horse and I tend to set deadlines even earlier than we really need to. But that is because there is always an unexpected bump along the road. This time, it was the missing 20 page story.
