About Artist's Edition

Tom G writes:

It seems from the comments some people here are unfamiliar with the Artist's Edition format. Artist Edition books contain reproductions of original art. The images in the book have all been scanned at a high resolution directly from the original art pages. Although the drawings are done in black ink and pencil, the scans are done in full color. And, the book reprints the pages at actual size, so it's as if you were able to look directly at the original art. That is why the book is 12"x17" and retails for $150 (although you can find them at discounts). Here is a link to the IDW Artist Edition page (although note: this book will be not be published by IDW but by Skybound entertainment - the new home of Scott Dunbier, the inventor of the Artist Edition format).  ... This book will contain select pages of George's run on TNTT. If you are like me, a longtime fan of George's work on TNTT, this book is a dream come true. I have been waiting a lifetime for this book.
