Strange Weather by Joe Hill

[Dan Hocker]

To be fair the single artist wasn't the only hold up, just the most recent one. Sig sheets were also held up in Chille for 6 months due to national unrest, and were also held up waiting for an opening in Joe's schedule for awhile too. This is just the current delay.

This one is still being held up by one of the artists who hasn't signed the signature sheets yet. According to Brian, he's had them for 14 months and still nothing.

Pretty ridiculous and very unprofessional.

I can't wait for this to come out. I know CD is going to rock it!

UPDATE:
The signature sheets are circulating. One sheet is done, three to go. Two of the artists are signing now. The sheet that Joe will be signing is headed to the artist to sign first since his office is outside of the country, and the artist has made time in his very busy schedule to sign them in August. The interiors of all four volumes are designed and being proofread now, but that process is basically done!

Looking at spring of next year, Brian?

The signature sheets are being printed now (we needed the artwork for the sheets to finish them) and the sheets will be circulating among the author and the artists as soon as possible. The timing will vary based on their schedules. Once we have a better idea of when each artist will be done signing their sheets, we'll be able to figure out when this is going to the printer.

Thank you for your patience!

Thanks, Brian, for the update on this one and the Keene book in the other thread.

Dan, did the art issue get resolved, and is this book still scheduled for a 2018 release? Thanks.

The fourth artist is still behind schedule, but he's worth waiting for. We really cannot say more about his situation because it's a personal matter.

I will do a full revision of the Production Updates page this month, though.

I'm not sure. Brian will have to clarify. My guess is that with all of our printer / case maker problems this year that it'll have to be pushed back, but I'm not sure. I'll direct Brian here to see if he can clarify.

Hi. We function in a pre-order model. These books are still in fairly early production. I believe the plan is that they should be published this year. General production updates can be found on this page:

http://www.cemeterydance.com/production-updates.html

Strange Weather is towards the bottom. Where the book currently stands is that the following "Artwork for THREE of the four books in this set have been completed, and we hope to have the remaining artwork in January or February. This title will be published in 2018." Sorry for any confusion, it can be kinda confusing for people new to the collectible book world. As always though if you are unhappy with the wait and would like to cancel your order just shoot an email over to [email protected] and we can get that taken care of for you.

Hi, I'm new to ordering these books and I am starting to wonder about this one. I ordered but haven't heard anything, when can we expect them to ship? I checked my order status online and it just has the date I ordered it. It doesn't say when it's being shipped or the status. Should I be concerned or are we still waiting for this set to ship?

not quite as off-topic: Is CD planning on a slipcase for the trade of Strange Weather? I've loved being able to pick up (fairly) inexpensive slipcases for my trade Stephen King books ... just keeps them looking nicer on my shelf and keeps the dust from my 200-year-old house off of them

Also very excited for the limited of Strange Weather ... nice to get a limited Joe Hill book from CD

My buddy across the pond is making a US and UK slipcase. If you're interested, PM me.

We talked about a slipcase for the trade hardcover for STRANGE WEATHER, but our case maker is so backed up this year that we decided it wouldn't be a good idea to offer it. Some cases are already running months behind, unfortunately!
