Volume 1 Will Return
Shaenon: I’m delighted to report that the Skin Horse 5 Kickstarter drive has reached its first stretch goal: reprinting Volume 1! No longer will new readers gaze enviously upon this out-of-print volume, wishing it could be theirs. We’ll be able to reprint it and get it back in stock by spring.
Thank you all so much! And to check out the progress of the Kickstarter drive, head right on over here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/250007708/skin-horse-volume-5
Channing: Thanks to all of you for making this happen! In a long form story-driven comic like this, it’s critical for people to have the opportunity to start from the beginning. I know I’m not the only one out there who gets fidgety owning only #2 of a given book series or whatever. Obsessive pattern-completion and all.
Also, apropos of nothing, I can’t see the title of this post without adding the words “…in Thunderball” to it. What does that say about me?
Channing: It says, “Dum di-di dum dum.” Although personally, I would have rendered it phonetically as “Dum di-di dum dum, dum dum,” but then, I didn’t write it. 😉
My hero, Tip!
Heard Thunderball on the iPod on the way home this evening. Coincidence? I think not!
Gee, and what popped up in *my* warped ‘lil’ mind was “King Nine Will Not Return”… Guess I’m more the weird TV type…
I *do* hope you’ll be printing “second print” or some such on the reprint. How else can the Master Race of Early Adopters continue to look down on all those plebeians who didn’t get into SH until after the first book sold out?!
More accurately, I’m glad we got there for my fellow SH enthousiasts; I’m one also of those completionists.
Onwards and upwards to the second stretch goal! …plush Sweetheart puppies? :p
I think the typical term is “Second Edition”.
It’s “Second Edition” only if the content has been altered in some way. Otherwise, it’s called a “Second Printing”.
I’ve been reading skin horse every single day for 5 years…
just realized that. its a great comic you know
Or widdle Unity plushes, like “Lurch for the Cure”, except dolls?
This and Narbonic has had me paying closer attention to the world around me – desperately hoping I’m not reality blind to this type of weirdness.
But even if the world around me is merely mundane – those tiny little details observed in the quiet moments are astonishing.
I must’ve gotten the last one when I ordered the set a while back.
