Hey everyone, I am selling my PROWL car. It stopped running, and none of the mechanics here in Ashland Ohio will work on imports. So I am auctioning it off. Buyer must be able to come here and get it.

Before

IDW Limited wrote:The interesting thing about this edition is, for the Blue Label we had Guido Guidi and Nick Roche team up to draw the two-character sketches. So each guy drew one of the two characters on the sketch plate. These pieces turned out so good that we actually scanned them, then had a colorist go in and color the scans so that we could put that finished product into a hardcover portfolio to go along with the book.

So that means even if you buy a Red Label, you're going to get something very cool. Five litho prints of unpublished Guidi/Roche artwork. And, anyone who pre-orders by 4/30 will get a sixth specially treated litho print to go along with the first five.
