HC, 9x12, 96pg, b&w$19.95


Not too many surprises - though I didn't realise Wilderness Days was quite so long. Interesting to see that the new Anderson story looks like returning to Deadworld. I'm still trying to figure out which classic Thrill is going to be reprinted - 48 pages? What classic ten-parter would be worth a reprint?

The Banzai Battalion TPB sounds good - does it collect all of the stories that have been published so far?

I'm dead chuffed that The Complete D.R. & Quinch is going to be presented in HC - especially as I found out just before I bought a copy of the softcover!
I wonder if there are plans for other HC editions - maybe Rogue Trooper: Future War?
