Title: Looking for Zenith stuff
Post by: memoryseeker on 28 January, 2003, 10:53:00 PM
Hi, anyone know if there are plans for the Zenith phases and interludes to be reprinted?
Found a box of old issues in my loft the other day, and remembered how good it was, but a lot of issues are either missing or damaged, and I know the Titan stuff has been out of print a long time.

So, are we ever gonna see Zenith printed again?

That's a touchy subject - Grant Morrison & the publishers have been arguing over the re-release of Phase I for the last 2 years or so...

They are supposed to be out now but apparently some legel wrangle has kept them back. That was the last I heard anyway, I may be wrong. Not that Im too bothered, I picked up Phase 1 months, ago which apparently shouldnt have been on the shelf due to afore mentioned wrangling. Hurrah for mistakes!

And apparently it's a bit of a bugger (economically) to reprint B&W and colour in one volume, which means Phases I to III must remain separate from IV if they ever do reprint it properly.

Best to look out for Titan graphic novels of the first three phases second-hand. (Phase 1 is in Titan's Zenith Book 1, while the next two phases were two books each.)

Phase IV has never been reprinted, so you need back progs for that.

And yes, isn't it brilliant?
But I'm truly sorry to hear of your bereavement. God rest those damaged progs.

Yeah, Captain Skank got his volume 1 before someone realised the mistake. He told that to Steve Yeowell at Dreddcon which was a suprise to him.

when i was rereading them i noticed how much forshadowing was going on in the story and wanted to know one thing was lux spook and the others planned to be the lloigor from the start?

Kind of, but I don't think they realized what they were/who the Lloigor were (if you get me?)
