Sounds like the repro is a little bigger than the Eagle versions, then.  With O'Neill, the bigger, the better!

Termight edition just turned up. It looks ok I guess but I somehow thought it would be bigger. And the book isn't numbered it's just the two postcard things that are numbered which is a shame. I'm number 133.

Fingers crossed mine should be here soon then. Slight shame that the books not numbered, but hey...

And low and behold, mine arrives today as well.  :thumbsup:

For a size comparision -


And the back -


A nice looking book, and a quick flick through it, the art repro inside looks decent enough for a vintage story - and id imagine that available source materials for reprinting this would have been quite limited.  And nice to have the signed cards, as well. (Im #103, btw).

So some good (re)reading is on the cards later tonight.

Looks lovely JJ, looking forward to getting mine soon.

So glad I went for the Deviant edition on that evidence. I mean, the Termight one looks lovely and all, but not 'the difference between £40 amd £15'-type of lovely.

Agreed. Looks great but vindicates my choice.

That is a lovely cover.

It would be nice to make the special editions even more special somehow.
It's a joke. I was joking.

Well depends on how much you think 2 limited edition prints are worth I guess (I'm #109) and until I have a normal version it'll be hard to do a full comparison. I like the book cover under the sleeve though.

It does look rather nice, doesnt it. Still not had chance to start this yet, but another flick through it reveals it is a lovely book - all told.

I guess if folks can get it for £15, then why not. But its nice to have the Limited Edition version - The 'Termight' edition is available ONLY through the 2000 AD online shop and each copy will be individually numbered, carry a marker ribbon, have a different cover and dust jacket, and is strictly limited to only 200 copies..

If I get a gold marker pen and write in '1' does that make mine even more special as it will be the only individually numbered one?

So your copy isnt individually numbered?  Hope you keep the receipt,  ;)

Mine arrived on Saturday - and think £40 was a fair price, because of the prints.

Then got out my old Titan to see if I could find some of the differences mentioned, and realised I actually prefer black and white.

My Deviant edition arrived this morning under the most elaborate postal packaging I've seen for a book. Production values are awesome, reproduction less so but I guess the source was limited. Any excuse to re-read Nemesis is a good excuse.

The packaging is rather good though isn't it. Big but oh so protective.
I got my Deviant edition today as well (yes I tend to have to buy everything!) and it is interesting how much of a difference the red ribbon makes :P

I think it's much better in the original too but it is certainly interesting to see the colours chosen.
Mind you even black and white can look bloody awful if done or reproduced badly (see the episodes of Slaine we've had so far for examples)
