Walter Simonson's The Mighty Thor: Artist's Edition - 1st printing. Last year, IDW Publishing released the inaugural Artist's Edition book, printing the entire Rocketeer saga by Dave Stevens from the original art and at the same size it was drawn. The book was a smash hit and quickly sold out. This year, IDW Publishing, in cooperation with MARVEL Comics, is pleased to offer the second book in the series: Walter Simonson's Thor: Artist's Edition! This collection will present Thor 337-340 and 360-362-Simonson's first story, followed by one of his favorite arcs. Thor #337 is one of the groundbreaking issues in modern comics, introducing the classic character, Beta Ray Bill. It was a runaway sellout when first released and it has only gained prominence with time. Simonson went on to write and draw approximately 40 issues of Thor and his legendary run on the title is an undisputed classic. All the pages in the Artist's Edition were scanned from Simonson's personal original art to ensure the highest possible quality reproduction. While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art - for instance, corrections and blue pencils. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board. Hardcover, 11-in. x 16-in., 176 pages, B&W. NOTE: This is one of the greatest runs in comics history and Simonson is truly a modern master. - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist

Volume 1 - 1st printing. Signed Limited Edition - Includes a Will Eisner tip-in signature plate - Limited to 100 copies. Story and art by Will Eisner.

Both artistic achievements rewrote the book on sequential storytelling, and had lasting impacts on all that followed them. 17 classic stories are collected in this volume, each being scanned from the original art, and all stories from the post-war years of 1946-1950--generally regarded as Eisner's best period on the Spirit. Stories include April Fool, Li'l Adam, War Bride, Taxes and the Spirit, and Eisner's personal favorite, The Story of Gerhard Shnobble, as well as a dozen more. Hardcover, 15-in. x 22-in., 144 pages, B&W.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Will Eisner. Will Eisner's work on The Spirit was, in its way, as groundbreaking as Orson Welles' Citizen Kane.

Last Year IDW Publishing released Volume One of Will Eisner's Spirit Artist's Edition to universal acclaim (including being nominated for, appropriately enough, an EISNER award). Volume two will contain stories from the same glorious post-war period of 1946 - 1950, along with some of the very best from Eisner's run. If you are a fan of the first book (or are kicking yourself for missing it), make sure you don't get caught short-it just doesn't get any better than this!
