Rebellion To Reprint The Last American

[Tjm86]

the prints/plates have all been posted today to hopefully arrive before Easter.

Considering that it has taken over a week and there is still no sign of the book I would say that is bloody optimistic.  At current rate of progress it's looking like 'before Christmas' is more accurate.

Still no sign! On the bright side the Dredd Cape and Cowl Crimes that the Book Depository dispatched on Saturday (2nd class post) has turned up.

I don't learn though. I've just bought the One-Eyed Jack HC

I think it's just a bookplate edition, not hardcover. 

[robprosser]

You're right!

[Atreides]

Nothing yet... hope it wont become like with the 40th anniversary progs... ordered the 2 covers. Nothing shows up... thanks to oliver at the support i got the ezquerra cover later.

STILL nothing!  Seriously pissed off now.

Mine was delivered by Royal Mail, so it might be worth calling your local post office to see if its there.

One of the things I deal with at work are missing Royal Mail parcels, and not everyone gets a card through the door. (or their parcel, even when it fits through a letterbox!) Worth a try.

Fingers crossed for you.

That said, the hardback is a thing of beauty. Repro droids have done a great job, can't wait to give it a read!

Well the jury is out on that too. Contrast this with the Com-X reprint and the original Epic comics and you'll see what I mean. There's a heavy magenta bias to the Rebellion book which is frankly losing alot of the delicate detail of Mick's work.

I've only ever read one issue of The Last American, and it was an original printing.
Long, long time ago though.
Don't suppose there are any Com-X scans I can compare this edition to are they?

One other note - I noticed the spine has the 2000AD logo on it. Should that really be there? Or have I picked one nit too many?

[The Adventurer]

2000AD is the publisher, why wouldn't it be there? I presume it's on Scarlet Traces, Monster, and Misty too.

[Woolly]

Surely its Rebellion who are the publishers?
I just find it a bit odd, as this wasn't published in the prog.

2000AD is the publisher, why wouldn't it be there? I presume it's on Scarlet Traces, Monster, and Misty too.

I don't believe it does appear on Monster, Misty or the upcoming IPC reprints but Scarlet traces was published in the Megazine and now in 2000AD, so no reason it shouldn't appear. Not that I see much of an issue with it appearing on any of them.

[Fungus]

It's on the Monster spine.
As the 'comic department' of Rebellion, that's not really odd.

I had a dispatch email ten days ago to say my 'Last American HC' would be with me "shortly" but so far no sign of it. My 40th Anniversary 2nd printing prog arrived yesterday but was a little beat up which was disappointing (and unusual given the weekly prog normally arrives in good condition) so feeling a smidge peeved with the shop's delivery service at the moment. Still, what can you do about it. Not much, I guess.

Well, I forgot to cancel my amazon order when the h/b was announced. Amazon arrived yesterday, h/b still not here.
