Usagi Yojimbo #1 (IDW) Signing + MIKE CHOI Variant /Signed!

Post by CParadise »

Hey everyone,

My name is Edward, I run Collector's Paradise, a 2 store chain in Los Angeles. Stan had been a long time customer at our Pasadena store until he moved out to Temecula. When we found out about Usagi relaunch from IDW, we really wanted to be part of it in a big way. Conversations with Stan and IDW ensued earlier this year and two major things have come out of it.

1. We will be doing a Release Party for the new #1 issue on Wednesday of release of the book. More details to follow a little bit closer to the time.

2. We have an EXCLUSIVE amazing variant for the book, by a superstar artist and HUGE Usagi fan, Mike Choi, limited to 600 regular copies and 200 super limited "Virgin Art" copies. It is available to pre-order on our site, (link below), in both unsigned and signed editions (which will of course come with certificates of authenticity from us).

http://www.comicsandcards.net/product-c ... new-items/

Hope to see many of you at the release party (you can join the email list on our website and will for sure find out about our events).

Thanks
Ed

Welcome to the forum Edward! As long as work doesn't interfere, I'll plan on attending this. Thanks for letting us know about the signing! :D

If you have placed a website order from us for the Mike Choi variant, I just realized that we will have copies of the ratio variants too, so I can offer those for you to add to your order, with no additional shipping charges. If you have not ordered the Choi, I will sell those to you too, but I will give first dibs to those who'd already ordered from us. Here are the prices:
1:10 $10
1:25 $25
1:50 $60

If you do a set of all 3, it's $90 ($5 off)

Please pm me directly and I will get back to you with PayPal info and total

Those are good prices. I’ve already ordered my set through my local comic book store. But I appreciate you offering them to the Dojo here. Thank you! Peace, maka

Thanks! Sent a PM.

I don't have a local shop, so this is great for me.

I stopped in my local comic shop to check on the availability of the UY #1 variants and learned that they already had me down for all three variants... :D

All PMs got replied to just now, sorry, FCBD was crazy for us and I needed a day (or two) to unwind, just got to the email box :)

We are almost sold out, about 2 sets left (limited by the 1:50 variant availability).

Thanks everyone!

Yes, the back of both CHOI variants is a sketch cover for Stan to sketch during our launch events.
Will the signed Virgin covers include sketches by Stan even if they are mail order purchases?

I removed the initial post re: stan sketches. That was not really correct info, based on assumptions I made that I had no understanding of.

Short answer is no. You are buying a book that is signed (NOT sketched). Anything over that is something you need to talk to Stan about, as an artist that is his domain and I defer to him on this.
