Yep, I've been buying a lot of stuff from IDW, especially Craig Yoe projects!
Great stuff!

---

In addition to buying JB's stuff, I order all of the ARCHIE hardcover collections
that IDW publishes, and should be getting three more LOCKE & KEY
collections soon.

Make mine IDW!

Just ordered the Dave Stevens Artist's Edition 2nd print.  Missed out the first time but I bit the bullet once I got another chance.

We're in the Golden Age of comics reprints, and it looks like the good times are never going to stop.

Very true, Andrew. I have stuff on my bookshelves now that I got very cheaply that I once thought I'd never get a chance to read. Comics that were either impossible to find or way to expensive when I was a kid are now right here with me. The only problem is finding time to read them all.

IDW is BAR NONE the best publisher out there. I spend almost all my comics budget each month on their wares.

Kudos to them for doing GREAT things.

There recent Alex Toth tome made me cry. It is truly beautiful.

Awesome!  Will get these...all of these!

IDW's Library of American Comics, spearheaded by Dean Mullaney, produces some of the finest comic strip reprints around...perhaps the best!

Love their TERRY AND THE PIRATES, LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE, DICK TRACY, FLASH GORDON, etc.

Chris Ryall just posted a cover for  a "Mark Shultz's Xenozoic Tales Artist's Edition"

Is there no limit to the treasures IDW will unleash upon the world?

Sigh, I have to remember, it makes me a bad parent if I spend money
set aside for my son's "summer" clothes to buy this!

Well, I'd say no one who works in comics sleeps well...
(And I did one buy my wife 600 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. Damn things wore through in a number of weeks. Which I'd like to think is from some extreme activities, but really, they were just crappy. Not worth the money.)

But thanks for the nice words. I'm happy to be a part of a team that includes people like Scott Dunbier, Dean Mullaney, and Craig Yoe, three of the best comic archivists around. 

We're sending the JB Fantastic Four Artist's Edition to the printer this week, too, which is damned exciting for me... same week I'm finalizing Doomsday.1 #1 with John, so I get to work on the best work of his past and present at the same time. 

Oh, and I definitely don't want to keep any of you broke. Broke means you're not able to pick up any of these new books, so I don't want that. But I'd recommend maybe skipping a meal, never buying 600 thread-count sheets and stopping buying comics by whatever other publishers there are out there (if any, I'm not sure) just so you're free and clear for our books...

=========

There actually *is* a limit -- I have never been able to unlock the rights to Rom Spaceknight, despite years of trying, and Michael Golden's Micronauts and Brian Bolland's Camelot 3000 pages have been scattered to the four corners, so no Artist's Edition of those yet. But I don't give up easily.

Had to rub that one in, didn't you?

Just for that, I'm going to get working on a John Byrne's Starbrand Artist's Edition.
