Rock (as opposed to earlier prototype appearances), an article covering the work of artist George Evans (of EC fame) for DC's war books.

1st printing - Includes 2 Volumes with Slipcase - Written by Mark Waid. Art and cover by Chris Samnee. IDW Publishing launched the very first Artist's Edition in 2010. It was a bold concept that to date has garnered five consecutive Eisner Awards in the category of Best Archival Project. With the release of Chris Samnee's Daredevil Artist's Edition we continue to stay ahead of the pack by featuring not one, not two, but THREE versions of Samnee's gorgeous original art-we like to think of it as an Artist's Edition triple play! This amazing collection will be presented in TWO books. The first, a hardcover featuring Daredevil Issues 23 - 27. Since these books were lettered digitally, you will see more of Samnee's original art than ever before! Additionally, all of Chris' beautiful layouts will be printed here, again, scanned from the original art. The second book will be a horizontal softcover, printing all Mark Waid's scripts-but that's not all-Samnee's artistic technique involves drawing thumbnail breakdowns ON the script pages themselves. Which means there are THREE versions of art presented, plus the actual script enabling you to read along with the story! Additionally, these two books will come in a handsome slipcase. You've heard the term "Artist's Artist?" This will be an "Artist's Artist's Edition!" The immensely popular, critically acclaimed, and Eisner Award-winning duo of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee are showcased in their first Artist's Edition! TWO books, slipcased! Hardcover (2 Volumes with Slipcase), 12-in. x 17-in., 220 pages (Total), B&W.

Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham is an unassuming teen. He's not good in sports. He's not good with the girls. He lives in the shadow of overbearing parents, and under the constant threat of bullies. And, he's not going anywhere fast. Then one day he meet Christine, a fixer-upper that could become the car of his dreams.

He pours all his love into Christine and turns into the beautiful red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury she was always meant to be. Christine gives Arnie all the confidence to make changes in his life. However, Arnie's best friend, Dennis, and his new girlfriend, Leigh, are beginning to notice changes in Arnie, dark changes. And when certain kids start turning up dead, all eyes begin to turn toward Arnie and his new dark demeanor.
