We're ENLARGING The Complete HERO TRADE Hardcover!
8 months ago – Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 02:06:52 PM

Last week we revealed that the ultra-deluxe hardcover from our second Kickstarter campaign (MEGALITH) would be getting a very special upgrade into an oversized edition.

Meanwhile many of you, faithful supporters of our first campaign were probably thinking, "Man, that would have been nice on The Complete HERO TRADE Hardcover too. Too bad that hardcover already went to print."

Well, surprise! We're ready to let the secret out. When we sent the The Complete HERO TRADE Hardcover to print we did so with the larger ultra-deluxe size! We are very happy to announce that The Complete HERO TRADE Hardcover will also be coming to you at the larger 8" x 12" size!

We look forward to you being able to see Captain Fab's dismembered body parts with maximum detail and to see the loving care artist David Lapham has lavished on every page!
