Cycle of the Werewolf Hardcover

[frik51]

Woo-hoo! Went to the Baltimore Comic Con today and got Bernie Wrightson's autograph added next to King's on my Cycle Of the Werewolf. Now one of my most cherished books.

I bet it is!
Congratulations!!

Nice!! I thought about going to that. Maybe next year though.

You've still got Sunday, and everyone should still be there. It was my first time at a convention, even though I've been reading comics since I worked at a store in the 80s. I mostly went just to get those 3 autographs, but had a very good time. Scott Snyder who does the American Vampire comic with Stephen King was there, but not at his booth when I went by, so I missed that sig.

Also got Bernie to sign my Creepshow comic and got Charles Vess to add his signature below Neil Gaiman's on my copy of Stardust.

The original Land of Enchantment hardcover trade edition (not the signed limited) sold for $28.95. I got one when they first came out.

I did, too, and I was a college student with no money. I read about the book in People, and I agonized over whether or not I could afford the extravagant price. I finally decided to do it, and it was my most-prized King possession until I got burned out on King and sold it for $100 in 1988 to a bookseller so I could buy some McCammon books.

Thanks, Beam - appreciate it.
I'd love to have a peek at your appartment - I think it would almost be the same as visiting the late, great Ackermansion.
(if this doesn't ring a bell, google will help out.)
Alien, btw, is one of my favorites ever! I heard Ridley Scott and Giger are teaming up again for Prometheus - a sort of Alien prequel.

I am too eclectic-to own every possible edition of the same story( as much as I would LOVE to) ,by Stephen King,or anyone else. First -limited resources-second I am a H.R. Giger ALIEN rarity completist collector,a Star Trekkor, I collect limited edition Ships, Figures and abstractly paint and assemble Antique Star trek models, Also i own EVERYTHING by Pink Floyd,Roger Waters,David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Syd Barrett; of course Their music- but books, authorized or unauthorized and other related stuff; Like Nick Mason's inside out,tome. As well, I interior decorate(HaHa) my i apartment with H.R. Giger, Rock and Roll, and Dark Tower Prints, well as monotypes by Gerald Scarfe (of The Wall Artwork and Animation Fame). As a painter; must paint or I will go mad,or more unstable (take your pick),;that means canvas,paint,pencils,paper,pen and ink, illustration Board,easels fixed and portable, and room for found objects. I also have an enormous collection of about 1,000 C.D.'s,including framed Lp' and framed Cover Art. I have not counted, but my non-bootleg collection DVD's it is somewhere over 800. Also I maintain a Fowlers toad, and a Chilean Rose Tarantula. So, as far as fiction, i'ojects dart Fiction and non fiction-I had to make a rule- One Above average Hardcover, and at least one "Reader" copy paperback especially of King. There are overlaps My 2004-5 edition of King's Blood and Smoke,Ur,and Stationary Bike-at the time they were not in print so CD it was. So i cannot ,for now- given space and finances -keep up with you frik51, Kudos. it is Quite an admirable QUEST;much like the pull towards the tower. Also you happen to have great taste in writers,you collect many of the same writers, I do. You can day many things about me but, predictable is not one of them- silent is another. Your library of King -may in some metaphysical way hold part of the multiverse; well, "together". International, multilingual-we all have a purpose. Perhaps yours is to create a " King GRAVITATIONAL field" i your Netherlands. All theses collections building force, web like-towards a "Thinny" EVENT HORIZON I am-glad to be near the zone,and know "YOU"; a complete Stephen King orbiter, from a hungry satellite of King Thought. Thanks you made me feel at home here from the beginning, ;It is Ka.

The Land of Enchantment hardback edition of Cycle of the Werewolf was a the original version of the book, put out in 1983. I believe they published a signed version and an unsigned trade hardback, but even the trade version had a very limited run and if I remember right, sold for about $40 new. This was the only version of the book until after the movie version (Silver Bullet) was made. In 1985, as a tie in with the movie, Signet issued a paperback version that also included the screenplay of the movie. It is a very nice book. This was actually my first limited edition, since I was able to get it for a great discount at the comic shop I was working in at the time. Also Creepshow has only been issued as a paperback here. I got that book the same way. It was so nice to be the one to unpack the shipments and pick the cleanest copy for myself, and buy at a discount. Since then, I've had both books signed by King, at the Folger Library event several years ago. I hope to catch up with Bernie Wrightson at a signing somewhere and complete the signatures.

Thanks for all the info! Can't wait to get it I just missed Bernie Wrightson at Dallas Comic Con last month, couldn't go, but at least he does conventions so we'll get him someday!

Cool!
I've got quite a few signed editions by king, but never had one of my books signed by him in person.
One day....

Post it all Frik, your collection is amazing!

Thanks, but you don't know what you're wishing for....

True - it's an awesome looking book. Many foreign editions are. And here I mean, non English language.
I own many of these, only King books, from Dutch to French to Russian to Hebrew to, well, you get my drift.
I have posted some of these in my collection thread, but those are only the Dark Tower books I own.
If anyone's interested, I'll post some non-Dark Tower stuff.

This book -Creephow- usually sells for about fifty dollars.
Not bad at all.

Post it all Frik, your collection is amazing! Some of those foreign editions you have are better than the originals.

I've never heard of, nor seen, a US/UK hardcover edition of this book.
I know there's a French one, and Dutch:



But I don't think that's what you're after.

Wow! That's actually a pretty neat looking book! Thanks for posting that I'd hate to even guess what that sells for.....even though I wouldn't be able to understand a word of it, it would look pretty on the shelf
