General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[zevious zoquis]

I honestly remember seeing various old pulp illustrations for Conan and not all of them were all muscly like the Frazetta paintings.
Haven't read the books yet though so maybe Howard described him as a modern bodybuilder.

Howard almost always described him as being a very imposing figure of a man - usually the most imposing physique in whatever room he was in, lol. The definition of that has changed over the years. Back in the pulp days, the "skinnier" guys in those covers would have been considered giants by the readers.

The Wood run was very refreshing for someone who have been collecting Conan comics for 35 years, so for the time being it is the one I prefer since Dark Horse took over the publishing properties. The Wood episodes drawn by Becky Cloonan and James Harren were the highlights of all these runs for me.

Did they ever release a 2nd OHC of Peter Panzerfaust? I can't really find an answer online.....some places say it was released, but there's no way to buy it, other places say it's gonna come out in two weeks. Anyone know for sure whats going on?

I dont think weibe ever finished the series so they didn't print it. He has a history of just dropping titles...

Although iirc the artist recently tweeted his completed pages for the final issue so there may be hope...

No, they solicited it but then never released it.

Latest. So happy to have the Mcfarlane Spidey omnibus. Brings back good memories from my Jr. Highschool days. I really like the covers of these Marvel books but the paper... My god. So brutal. I feel like I'm turning pages of toilet paper.

Quick question for the Spawn fans:

I see Spawn Origins hardcovers and Spawn Origins deluxe hardcovers. I assume the first are standard size, but just how big are the Deluxe versions? Are they typical oversized, or are they something closer to Absolute or Library edition size?

The Origins Hardcovers are standards Image deluxe hardcovers, the deluxe hardcovers are Absolute sized with a slipcase.

The latest Origins Hardcover is due out in October and goes to #125, currently theres no sign of a Deluxe volumes 5 which would go up to the same issue.

The first two volumes of the deluxe editions are impossible to find for anything approaching a reasonable price so best of luck if you decide to go that route.

Spawn Origins hard covers are at the same size as DC's Deluxe HCs... (28cm hight, 19cm wide) Spawn Deluxe HCs are Absolute sized and the first volume goes for insane prices...as drd said. Spawn Origins HCs are the only resonable option, i collect them and very happy with quailty of what i got.

Thanks to both of you. Yeah, will stick with the non deluxe route. Cheers.

It really brings back lots of good memories. I was like 12 or 13 when that series came out and I remember taking the bus by myself traveling over an hour to get to the comic shop to pick up my issues. I wish I still had those.

it's delayed unfortunately. But not unsurprising.

Speaking of TMNT... Anyone read the Batman TMNT crssover? I'm planning to pick up the hc but if it's not that great I will skip.
