Yeah Brian, that's got to be the finest slip case I own.

Mine is scheduled to be delivered today.  My order got delayed because of the Neal Adams Absolute, which didn't get picked/scanned at the same time as my other items, which probably means it had to come from a different warehouse.  It's shipped now as well. I have to say that Instocktrades.com usually packages their items really well.  A couple of months ago, FedEx left a package right at the edge of my house where rainwater fell on it.  The box was ruined but the book inside was sealed in plastic and taped up so well that it did not get damaged.  Several months earlier, I had a book ordered from Amazon that did not fare as well after the package was rained on.

I ended up giving the Adams volume to Walt Simonson when he and Weezi visited last week.

Flipping ahead, it would appear that all the penciled pages reprinted here,
complete issues 2-5, were from xeroxes Jerry Ordway had. Interesting that
he has those four issues and not the first and last. JB, did they reach out to
you to see if you had any pencil xeroxes still?

Also, very jealous of David Mandel. Wonder if he also has the variant cover
art, as well.

JB, this Neal Adams Artist's Edition which came out last year might be more to your liking (assuming you don't already have it).  It features some of his other DC work as well as Batman but features high resolution scans of the original artwork. It doesn't contain full stories, though.

JB, what did you think of the Neal Adams Artist Edition?
