New Print!

Post by MikeM »

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but I just read Dark Horse's releases for February and this was mentioned....

USAGI YOJIMBO SIGNED AND NUMBERED LIMITED-EDITION PRINT

By Stan Sakai.

Stan Sakai's creation, the rabbit ronin Usagi Yojimbo, is one of the most beloved and enduring characters in comics today. With over twenty years of adventures throughout feudal Japan, countless awards, and a following that spans the globe, this long-eared samurai continues to attract life-long fans, and the comics master who tells his stories is the nicest guy around.Dark Horse is pleased to offer discriminating Usagi readers a poster-sized art print of this beautiful painting originally created for The Art of Usagi Yojimbo. Featuring Usagi, Tomoe, Gen, and sensei Katsuichi, these 17" x 24 1/2" prints are individually signed and numbered by Stan, printed on high-quality archival paper stock, and limited to an edition of only one hundred. Shipped flat and shrink-wrapped to a cardboard backing, they will arrive ready for framing.

Signed and numbered, limited to 100, $100.

I want one!

How can they be selling these already if it doesn't come out until February?

According to the solicitation, there are only 100 of them.

I believe they were initially released at the 2005 Comic Con International in San Diego this past summer. Dark Horse is soliciting the remaining unsold prints. It also explains why so many have suddenly appeared on ebay, the ebay seller is auctioning them off before they are distributed....

I wonder how many were left unsold out of the 100 after the San Diego convention?
