Centipede will be releasing.....

[bookworm 1]

What a great Newsletter this week. I'm really looking forward to Charles L. Grant/Robert Chambers/M.R. James MOWT! Of course, talk of another Bradbury title is very exciting. Powers of Darkness sounds very interesting....

The Grant set was announced a couple of years ago. I have been impatiently waiting for the official announcement. Hopefully in the next year or so

No sweat — thanks for the notice it’s there…I’ll track it down tonight.

Looks like the link just goes to the home page and I can’t edit it out. Sorry!

[Sock Monkey]

From what I remember the price was the same. I don’t know which is more rare or if there is any way to track down that info.

Here’s the link to Camelot’s page which shows a picture of the red boards:

What was the second binding for THE OTHER?

[RonClinton]

Very cool additions, Ron. As always, I am very jealous. I've been eyeballing MADBALL on Camelot's website for awhile but can't get myself to pull the trigger on it due to price. $500, I think. They did have the other binding listed previously with the red boards, which I also liked, but it sold pretty quickly.

So there are two different bindings within the limitation? I know he did that with a few (Tryon’s THE OTHER comes to mind), but didn’t realize he did that with MADBALL as well. Good to know. I take it then that the red-board variant is the scarcer of the two (or was it just priced more friendly by Camelot?)?

That cover has a cool illusion of movement. I like it.

It’s truly an interesting material that was used.

…and the other recent Centipede rarity, MADBALL, went up today:

I picked up another — quite possibly my (older) Centipede grail — a few days ago…should see that one in a week or so.

That is a nice set. I picked one up during a 50%-off sale too. I think I paid $75.

I absolutely agree with you all about Nakatomi's CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF portfolio. I don't know why, but at the time of the kickstarter, there was some bitching about it at the DT.org forums. Can't remember why. Price, I think. I also picked this up on one of their half price sales years ago, and I still consider it one of my favorite "bargains". It's a lovely presentation with the prints on thick, beautiful paper, signed & numbered by Wrightson on a full-size limitation sheet, including nicely printed lunar calendar and chapbook of Wrightson art. In a nice box, too! I even sprung for the (regular, wall-hanging) calendar, and fossil pin- both very nice quality. Really, it's one of my favorite packages.

And, yes- A Centipede CYCLE would be amazing. It's one of those projects- perfect melding of concept, story and art- that needs a great package. Yeah, Chris Zavisa did a great job on it all those years ago, but- it's time for a another edition!

Yesterday I received two new older Centipede HC titles that have up 'til now escaped me, so I'm thrilled to finally add them to my collection. The two titles are the signed & numbered HCs of THE TENANT by Roland Topor (signed by Thomas Ligotti (intro.)) and MADBALL by Fredric Brown (signed by Dick Adler (intro.)). I hope to have pics of both up on Twitter within the next week.

That would be awesome!

I think I've posted this before - but Nakatomi did a really sweet portfolio of Wrightson's work from Cycle of the Werewolf - https://store.nakatomiinc.com/cycleo...tfolioset.aspx - I snagged one a few years ago during a Black Friday sale at 50% off (I they've raised the price since then too.) It's really well done. They also have quite a few really nice prints of his work that I'm always tempted to buy.

ETA: It does look like the Kickstarter price on these prints was $175, and their store eventually sold them for $200 - https://www.nakatomiinc.com/2017/03/...now-available/ - I think I paid either $100 or $150, so a bargain compared to today's price. Plus there was a really sweet wooden box version - https://www.nakatomiinc.com/2016/10/...ition-in-hand/

That is a nice set. I picked one up during a 50%-off sale too. I think I paid $75.

I wish CP would do Cycle of the Werewolf!

I've been eyeballing one of the Dark Horse Comics editions of Frankenstein with Wrightson's illustrations, but at about $200+ a copy I think I'm going to wait for Centipede's version. Yeah, it'll probably be a lot more money, but I think it'll look much better than what DHC has done. I know the current version is smaller in size, so maybe that will become a good reading copy (I've never read Frankenstein before . . .)

Also that Powers of Darkness edition sounds awesome. I can't remember where I first heard about it (it could have been in one of Jerad's old newsletters) but I'm definitely onboard for that one too.
