Quote from: IndigoPrime on 09 October, 2013, 11:31:03 AMgiven that the audience would be reasonably large (although, I suspect, not quite as large as some people might think—this isn't Watchmen).

This is why I was wondering what normal numbers for 2000ad gn's are, let alone something that should have a wider appeal like an available version of Zenith. What are the numbers like for something like the The Best of Milligan & McCarthy?
What size are the markets these days? After all Zenith took a few days to actually sell out after all.

Pretty sure he didn't rule out some kind of non-limited edition in the future, though. Maybe not a softcover version of THIS edition, but four soft covers covering each phase...?


That's what I'm expecting.

As for the £100 Zentih book , nothing special to write home about , it does not have the feel of an expensive book , the binding is of cheap basic qualitly , i would not compare the quality to the Dc Absolute Edition's ..... and at twice the price , i would have expected more .... D- FOR EFFORT and Quailty  ...

Very true. The majority of the 'value' is it's exclusivity. I'm sure having a smaller run costs more but then I have no idea of what the publication numbers are for things such as the recent Nemesis 'public' hardback or as a good 'big' example, the IDW collections which cost only £23.55 for the Carlos 2 book.

It will only feel harsh when the softback(s) eventually come out. Does look nice on my shelf though :)
Nice to have the full collection at last.

Don't you love the way that bleeding cool are essentially acting like kids in the school yard shouting "fight, fight, fight!"

Well they were given the exclusive so....

Pity they've not announced the PC version yet. Well if they don't want my money I might just have to spend it on Battlefield 4 instead.

Does look lovely.

Look at his original painted art for Devlin Waugh and you see just how good his work is.

You know that doesn't really look like a wave to me, more something else.

I'm sure there's a very happy person with that piece tonight :)

Quote from: Sideshow Bob on 25 August, 2013, 07:48:21 PMAnyone any theories ??, or am I just 'mistaken' on prices again ?? .... :lol:, but I'd rather spend the £200+  on a piece of published original artwork, that you know is unique.....
Cheers

Totally agree, but maybe some people have what they want and then move onto the more ephemeral things. You don't know how many of these posters exist, especially in good condition. Also suppose if you know a certain piece of artwork exists/who has it etc then you could always get that later but these posters aren't so common?

I just had a quick look and the Nemesis, Halo and Dredd posters I have in my chest are folded over and not in great condition as I actually had them on my wall for years when I was younger. Not going to be worth as much and you'd never be able to replace them for the amount you'd get, if ever.

Well there is a supply and demand issue isn't there.
