General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[Balakin]

And for more 2000AD HC love. THIS! Luckily I'm not living in England, or I'd gotten all 80 of them... http://www.judgedreddcollection.com/ But I'll definitely try to get Cursed Earth, Day the law died, Dark Judges, Judge Child, Bloc Mania, Apocalypse War, Chopper, PJ Maybe, Necropolis, Democracy, America, Origins, Tour of duty, Day of Chaos and Dark Justice (if collected.). And while at it, perhaps also OZ, some Anderson stories, Total war, Brothers of the blood ...

Hope they'll be hard to get by, or I'll get skint...

Finally this thing is cmoing out. Originally it was announced to start in September, I was regularly popping by at WHSmith but they just didn't know what the hell I was talking about (they tried to help and search info in their database but always gave me false delivery dates).

I was so damn excited to receive Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream yesterday. Took it out of the box inside a box inside of a box filled with peanuts and was so psyched to look inside I didnt immediately notice, but the front cover and inner pages are bowed really badly. You cant really appreciate how it is from these pictures, but here you go...

You REALLY cant appreciate this from pictures, but it also seems to be affecting the binding. It seems as though the back side is kinda higher than the front. Like it is diagonal if you look at it straight down from the top of the book. Like if the book was lay in flat on the ground unopened, you could almost read the title on the side of the spine from straight above it.

So I need some advice on what I should do. I tweeted the publisher, Locust Moon Comics, with the 3rd picture from my previous post, asking if this is something I should be worried about. Does anyone else own this book and can weigh in? Is this just climate related and I should expect it to go back to normal? Or is this more serious and I should email IST (I purchased it from them) or the publisher? The book is over $100 and was going to be what I considered one of the 'crown jewels' of my collection.

You purchased from IST, so that would be my starting point to inquire. See if they've had more complaints. My comic Nao of Brown used to be like this too, but over time it has settled. Perhaps it's something to do with cold and humidity during transit? Either way... you should be happy with what you've bought, so start with IST I'd say.

Anyone know where the limited ed books could possibly land in north america? Or are these going to be direct from publisher only? I didnt see any ordering details

Starts over here on the 21st Jan. SO if its anything like the Star Trek collection, I'd wager it showing up the N.America in the next 6-12 months.

Are there any good collections with Mike Grell art (aside from Warlord and Green Arrow)? I love his art but I rarely come across it.

Locust Moon responded to my tweet saying I should try putting heavy stuff on it and see if that does anything and if not they'll replace it. As much as I know this is not gonna work im trying it because id rather it works than have to mail this huge book back and wait for a new one.

I'm trying to figure out which edition to pick of Brass Sun.
I see a rebelion and a AD2000 published editions.
What is the publisher in yours? Is it color or black and white?

Thanks!

[Dark-Flux]

Rebellion is 2000AD. Snd Brass Sun is in colour.

ah ok, my confusion is because Amazon has 2 versions and even the page count and book dimensions are different:

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/1781..._ya_os_product

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/1781..._ya_os_product

then I should be safe ordering any of them (I hope )

thanks!
