[Hellboydce]

Does anyone know if the From Hell and companion slipcase is hardcover or soft?

Has a hardcover ever been released? My softcover is a bit dog earred and could do with an upgrade

There has been a Top Shelf HC (which I have) and a knockabout HC. No idea if they were limited or still in print...

edit: And there's a signed/numbered Graphitti HC, good luck finding one of those for a decent price

There is a library binding as well.

Isn't that just a SC converted into a HC? I'm never quite sure what these are...

yeah they are, still more durable than a sc. I have the Bone library binding and while it's not perfect (especially the binding looked a bit weak) I still prefer it to the sc.

And then there's the edition hand-bound by Campbell limited to under 20 copies. That one's the rare one

As I remember, it will be softcover

Thanks. I figured.

Yes, I got one a few months back off CGN. I don't have the companion, so if the clip case was HC, I would have sold it to buy that.

Hey Guys/Gals,

Can anyone give me some more information on the Dark Tower collections/omnibi?

I have just finished the first Dark Tower book (awesome) and I plan on reading the rest. I know some of the comics are adaptions of the books and some are prequels? of things not in the books, is that correct?

Can someone clue me in on which hardcovers I should get? Not looking for TPBs. I dont want to search online too much cause I dont want to accidentally spoil the story.

The best way to go for hardcovers would be the first omnibus (The Dark Tower) and the second omni (Dark Tower: The Gunslinger). The first one covers the events of the fourth novel, Wizard and Glass, which takes place first chronologically because it is a flashback to Rolands youth. It also expands further than the novel. The second omni covers the first novel, The Gunslinger, and also expands some things. Also both omnis come with a large companion book full of special features.

Read the books like this:
Novel 1
Novel 2
Novel 3
Novel 4
Novel 5
Novel 6
Novel 7
"The Wind Through the Keyhole."
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born Omnibus
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Omnibus.

The thing about the Dark Tower series is that they tend to build upon each other as they release. They reference information you learn later in the core series, even if the book in question (Keyhole, either Omnibus) technically take place before the point in the series where you originally learn the information or concept.

Could anyone tell me if there is any particular edition of The Incal, and it's sequels, that I should track down? When I first found out about it in college it had been long out of print but them today I walked into my LCBS and saw several copies in the featured section. I then proceeded to look it up online and it looks like over the past few years it has seen several different editions. I enjoy a nice OHC but I'm not one to pay upwards of $100 for a single volume.
