IDW publicará un tomo con los originales de varios números del Thor de Walter Simonson. ¡¡ACTUALIZADO!!
Me entero gracias a Espaciomarvelita.com que IDW publicará íntegramente los números 337-340 y 360-362 de The Mighty Thor reproducidos directamente de los originales y a su mismo tamaño, lo que es una gozada para cualquier aficionado a los originales que sea fan de Simonson.
Entre esta edición y el Omnibus Thor, que reune su etapa entera recoloreada por Steve Oliff, uno ya no puede pedir más (bueno, sí, un diseño de libro mínimamente decente).
A continuación reproduzco en inglés (sorry, pero estoy estresadísimo) la nota oficial de IDW...
"IDW expands Artist’s Edition series with Classic Marvel Comics
Walter Simonson’s The Mighty Thor kicks off expansion of oversized hardcover collections
Debuts at San Diego Comic Con in July 2011
San Diego, CA (April 1, 2011) – IDW Publishing is thrilled to announce the expansion of the company’s acclaimed Artist’s Edition series with WALTER SIMONSON’S THE MIGHTY THOR: ARTIST’S EDITION. Launching in July, this oversized, hardcover collection will present Thor 337-340, Simonson’s first classic story arc, which introduced Beta Ray Bill, and Thor 360-362, Simonson’s choice for the second arc in the book. WALTER SIMONSON’S THE MIGHTY THOR: ARTIST’S EDITION will be the first in a series of Artist’s Editions featuring legendary creators and comics from Marvel.
“I can’t tell you how thrilling it is to be able to do a book like this,” said IDW Special Projects Editor, Scott Dunbier. “Each page is shot from Walter Simonson’s original art and printed same size—really just too cool. Thanks to Marvel Entertainment for being so enthusiastic about this project from the start!”
Debuting at San Diego Comic Con, WALTER SIMONSON’S THOR: ARTIST’S EDITION leads with Thor #337, a groundbreaking issue in modern comics that introduced Beta Ray Bill and kicked off Simonson’s legendary run on this fan-favorite title. All the pages in the ARTIST’S EDITION have been scanned from Simonson's personal original art to ensure the highest possible quality reproduction. While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art—for instance, white-out corrections and blue pencil notations.
WALTER SIMONSON’S THOR: ARTIST’S EDITION ($100, hardcover, black and white, 176 pages, 12” x 17”) will be available in stores in July 2011."
ACTUALIZACIÓN 4/4/2011: Simonson ha subido la portada y un par de originales como muestra del libro a su página del Facebook. Se me cae la baba...
