UNCANNY DAVE COCKRUM PRESTIGE EDITION HARDCOVER (Mar 2007)

"The Uncanny Dave Cockrum... A Tribute" hardcover, which is currently available only at Aardwolf's website is a special project. It's the last time I got to work with my friend Dave. The book is a living testament to his importance and influence on the industry. As for its content, the book has everything the original paperback of 2004 had, but better. The new hardcover is laid out better, has better paper, better design, better everything. Additionally, the new book features a number of new artists who were left out of the first edition for any number of reasons. Terry Austin, whose work was accidentally left out last time, is in there. George Perez, who had tendonitis at the time of the first publication, is in there. We've also added new writers to the already austere line-up. Tom Spurgeon—the Hunter Thompson of comics journalism—is in there. And there are twenty pages of rare and never-before-seen Dave Cockrum art.
