Hey everyone,

I have a lil' question. I bought this book a few years ago, from my local (UK) comic store. Nothing special about it, sold for the cover price (a little less, if I recall). When I got it home, I found that it had been signed by Don himself! A little piece of paper, a drawing, is stuck inside the cover. The sketch is a print, but the signature's legit.

Was EVERY copy of this book signed? I imagine it had a small print run, so it's a possibility. Perhaps they were sold as incentives? Although the the owner of the shop, a friend of mine, had no idea it was signed.
I've looked on all sorts of online stores (including IDW) and nobody mentions it. Strange, as I think that's a major selling point.

Anyway, it's a nice book. The only disappointment is a printing error in the Armada segment- One page has the incorrect speech bubbles printed.

Do any of you guys own it? Does yours have the same stuff/signature/error inside?

- Adam

Hi, Yes, my copy is signed as well.

I see. It's all coming together. ^_^ It's odd how none of the retailers mention such a thing. $50 for a reprint collection (one with a mistake, at that) is a bit much. I would guess that the signed plate is the main incentive for buying it.

Seems that a lot of copies went unsold. I guess we're in the minority.
