The problem is that list is behind the times, and it is incomplete. I believe it was listed earlier regarding the special Wally Wood Wondercon edition (different cover) which is no longer even listed. Here is what I show but please correct:
Already out
Rockteer - I do not own. The Rockteer has never fired my imagination
Walt Simonson's Thor - I think a variant edition is out there but I don't know. I do own and my favorite to date.
Romita Amazing Spiderman - (also had special edition version). I have the regular edition. Very pleased with this.
Wally Wood - (also had special edition version). I have the regular edition.
Up for Pre-Order
Groo - I have pre-ordered through IDW which is the first time I have tried that.
Daredevil Born Again - I believe there is a special SDCC version. If Bob can get that I told him I would buy his version off of him otherwise I will be scrambling to find a copy. This might be a mistake on my part. We shall see.
The Spirit - skipping this as not my bag
Tarzan - in this month's previews and I am on the fence. Please help sell me on this.
Planned but don't know when
Jack Davis Artist edition - out in late 2012 but announced at Wondercon. Anyone have more details
Related stuff
Portfolio for Neal Adams and Bernie Wrightson. Did I miss out on these? I heard the announcement at Wondercon that they wanted them for SDCC but I don't see them on the IDW website but I can't find anything on that.
The Alien Illustrated story. This is from Titan books but throwing it in here. I would likely buy it if I saw a copy.
Please correct, add things, etc.
I think these artist's editions are pretty great. Superficially they seem very expensive but you get way more than you pay for me. For me, I actually like to read them like giant sized treasury comics so the story is important to me (they are not just art books for me). I realize that is strange and many may just want to look at the pretty pictures (and they art). That is my stumbling block with the Wally Wood one is I am not much into those types of stories (same reason I am passing on the Spirit). Just my tastes, although I do like Popeye comics where are even older than the EC stuff. I am hoping this will be a better place for information. I know at Wondercon, people were buying up those varient cover editions so there is a market for them. As I told Bob, I think the guy putting these together is doing it for himself and doesn't seem to care about sales. Given the response on these, they could print up more. Mind you, despite its high cost, I don't think the profit margin is very high. I don't know printing but they seem high quality to me.
Thanks.
