When I saw this announced months ago, I immediately went to Amazon and preordered it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly a month ago, I was kind of annoyed when I walked into the comic shop and saw it available for sale there. The owner was surprised that I wasn’t walking out the door with it, and I had to explain that it’s hit or miss whether or not they’ll get one of these Artist’s Editions and that in my excitement when I see things like this announced, it never occurs to me that I can order it through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, I wished I had, as when I checked my order status I saw that it wasn’t coming until now, and if I’d bought it from them, I could have had it then<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, I do have it now, and, well, let’s just take a look inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, you never should have envied Donna – she was with
Terry Long<\/em>. The most unenviable condition imaginable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another painted piece. I rarely encountered painted covers back then.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Loyal readers – hi, Scott – will recognize this panel<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I must admit that there is one particular page I was hoping would be included in here, but alas, it is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, I can’t really complain given what is<\/em> included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There’s so much more and it’s all glorious, and it’s cool, as always, to see the production artifacts, the underlying pencils, and the margin notes that make these Artist’s Editions so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s especially special when it’s an edition dedicated to this <\/em>artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know the drill: more stuff coming – none of it likely to be a match for this treasure – so check back soon for the next Mail Call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
