Cheers for that David. I can remember thinking at the time that the improbably square chins which characterised Yeowell's early work on Zenith reminded me of Alan Davis - now I know why. Good read, that.

A few more details about the book have been released.

So that's the same size as (just grabbed off the shelf) Robo-Hunter 2. Which is only 400 pages long according to Amazon.

That'd be the shiny paper making it skinny.  Gods but that looks luscious.

It's not a flicking through book like the Case Files or Robo-Hunter is it ;)

I think it's the right size, better than having it the larger size of the recent IDW The Complete... books.

Not that I'm buying it (I'm not, I'm not, I'm not...) if I did... which I'm not... I'd be a little disappointed that it seems to have US dimensions (at least height wise) rather than reproducing the art in its original size (as printed that is).

Hopefully that makes my resolve to resist all the stronger...

That's exactly what I thought... Why go to the trouble of a complete hardcover collection and not produce it 'oversize' like the US Deluxe, Omnibus or Absolute edition...

Aaaand, that's saved me a hundred quid.

I shall wait for the inevitable reprints now.
Check out my DA page! Point! Laugh!

The dimensions shifted me from "But the price..." to "Yeah, paperbacks please".

It is indeed very odd that this book is not oversized.

Perhaps Absolute Zenith is going to be limited to 500 copies and £200 a pop....

Ah shite I thought it would be Titan sized. Ah well.

Don't think anyone has posted this up yet: MAD MENTAL CRAZY! The True Life of the Fabulous Zenith. First part of a series about the history of the creation of Zenith and it's copyright struggles.

This article lists all of the stories in the book, and the list omits the "Zenith Interlude" episodes. So unless the article is not accurate (hope so), it's not actually complete.

Trade Descriptions act? ;)

Barring ABC hardbacks being the size it is means all the more recent Rebellion GN's are the same height doesn't it?

Has someone got a bookcase with non adjustable shelves perhaps?
