Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but the newest Previews catalog has the GB Legion TPB listed in the catalog for Sept release. So now we know why its advertised on 88MPH website but had no info. This is now 2 straight months 88MPH has solicited in Previews, the other being the Ecto-1 litho. The listing somewhat stresses this may the only time it'll be collected in this format or manner. Yet I know you all out still don't have the hardcover. And don't get confused, this is for the softcover paperback version. It even says it'll have bonus material and also includes the 12pg convention excl. “Zeddemore Factor” in color. So far this sounds just like the UK's Titan books edition, but when you look at the difference in page counts. The titan one is 96 pgs, while this one is 132 pgs. What a differance. I mean (this listing is my assumptions of content) if you take away the 5 comics, and I'd assume some of these pages may belong to a all covers pin ups pgs, the Slimer & Staypuft art ads maybe used as well, that still leaves almost 20 pages of extra material content. What else could there be? Note the cover used was the cover for the unreleased GB #1 ongoing book (Slimer & Peter). So what do you all think of this little development? I still feel bad for you all that paid for the hc book. This in that sense, makes no sense to me.
For 2 straight Previews listings, could the ongoing GB comic of some sort be coming soon?

I vaguely recall (although it may be a false memory as it was so long ago) that production artwork may be included in the book.

Note the cover used was the cover for the unreleased GB #1 ongoing book (Slimer & Peter). So what do you all think of this little development? I still feel bad for you all that paid for the hc book. This in that sense, makes no sense to me.

Maybe they ran the wrong image? It'd be odd after so long with the Ecto images that the design, which was quite classy, would be changed…

I wouldn't expect miracles just yet… Clavet would have to resurrect his crdability following how much of a debacle this printing has been and I doubt even the Masked Magician would be able to do that.

I ordered mine last week.
I miss the whole story, well I have the #1 black cover.
Can't wait to see what I miss.
And I keep my fingers cross… just in case

Nice, the UV ink cover was one of the rarest out of the whole kit and kaboodle.

UV ink cover?

Mhh, what I wanted to say with ‘black cover’ was the one with the no ghost logo on it.

We're talking the same cover here. Put the black with no-ghost logo cover under a black light and the red and white portions glow.

You know something Kingpin?
It's the first time that your words excite me :-)
I can't wait to make a try

Hah, well… I'm a little bit disturbed by that.

Seriously though… it's a cool thing to have… it helps justify my owning it for one.

Of course, it's just a blacklight thing… but it's a stylish cover none the less.

Finaly made a try with two blacklight but still had nothing.
Maybe my “incentive cover” was not a part of it
